I had probably THE worst night last night. “Que paso” you ask? Well, the abbreviated version goes something like this: boy catches cold, cold causes hideous symptoms, symptoms keep girl up all night, girl sleeps on couch. Boo. I stumbled back into the bedroom after Kyle left for work, and (fortunately) managed to fall back asleep. Unfortunately, I unknowingly turned off my alarm somewhere in the bed-to-couch-to-bed process. I woke up just before noon, very confused, and very annoyed. I immediately got to work on a very frothy cup of coffee and a very cinnamon-y… Read more >

Seriously, I hope I’m not boring you all, but this trip home was so epic, that even the Cliff’s notes version is miles long… I guess I will continue from where I left off (Saturday PM). Since the Nike half marathon started at 7 am (and I had no desire to commute into the city before that ungodly hour) I stayed at my sister’s apartment the night before. At least something positive came out of last month’s half marathon pre-race disaster (i.e. 4 am wake up calls are NOT conducive to a happy hippie). Spooning… Read more >

Thursday was muy bueno and here’s why: 1. I got to sleep in. Hooray! 2. Coffeeeeeee 3. I totally had nothing but fruit all morning (fruit, fruit, and more fruit). 4. I got to use my brand new Polar F6 HRM. 5. At long last, some quality cardio time!!! (Yes, this overlaps with #4, but I was so so thrilled, it deserves 2 points). 6. I made a delish sando out of Nature’s Pride bread stuffed to perfection with some slightly rando ingreds. (sweet potato, avocado & smart deli “turkey”) Holy yum, try this now. … Read more >

I have been a slacker! Rather than let these photos cause my 900th computer crash fall by the wayside, how about we play a quick little game of catch (up)? Last week, vital wheat gluten met my bestie, the chickpea. I went with the tried and true (recipe from V’con) for chickpea seitan cutlets. Can cookbooks win Pulitzers? So simple, so genius. I barely let them cool before taste testing them out on a piece of bread (and subsequently losing a layer of skin on the roof of my mouth). Yum yum. The magic bullet… Read more >

I mean this both literally and figuratively. I was Errands McGee today, and I definitely ate enough to fuel it all. Sheesh. Just you wait…you’ll see! I had a lovely morning with a frothy java and scoop ‘o almonds. YUMMY! Like a five year old, I played with my food a little, too. I’m so mature. I got a little sun this past weekend, huh? Oops!! Fueled on crack caffeine and nuts, I did some running around town and came home and made a BEAST of a breks. Underneath all the granola, almonds, and fresh… Read more >
