So here’s the sitch. Did I mention I have a triathlon in under 30 days. Problem? Yes. It gets worse. I got in an accident yesterday while riding my bike, which I was in denial about until I went to work today…and wound up in the ER half way through my shift. I feel like I got hit by a bus. I am so so sore. It’s unbelievable. I have less than 50% range of motion in my neck and my tailbone is badly bruised. I basically feel stiff all over. Anyway. I don’t… Read more >

I usually buy the unsweetened or plain soymilk/almond milk and just add that and NuNaturals vanilla stevia to my coffee. Lately, though, I’ve been in a mayj vanilla phase,… Read more >

Ok, I know. It’s semi-odd to be roasting winter squash in June, right? But I had a butternut and delicata squash hanging around the kitchen and figured I better seize the day. So I hacked my way into them, lubed the skin down with coconut oil, and popped ‘em in the oven at 375. I made sure to salvage the seeds to roast too. They are loaded with iron and (quite frankly) delicious. Those didn’t get coconut oil though. They were sprayed with PAM and sprinkled in salt. Nada mas, nada less. I took the… Read more >
