After Saturday’s nightcap, Kyle and I found ourselves sucked into an A&E marathon. Has anyone else ever seen The First 48? Because we had finished our Netflix-ed Dexter DVDs the previous night (and didn’t want to pay $11.99 for the Hyatt’s On-Demand films) our TV options were limited. Turns out The First 48 is a really good show…so good in fact, that we’ve now seen the entire first season. 😉 Anyway, Sunday started the same as Saturday (plus football). Coffee, pool lounging, gym time, and eventually lunch. We couldn’t help ourselves…and so we headed back… Read more >

As I mentioned before, Saturday was spent with my mom’s side of the family in So Cal. It was a really fun day with good food, good company, and of course, the adorable Finn. I was in charge of bringing a vegan dish, so I thought why not test out a recipe that’s been on the back burner for a while now. Thanks to the Foodbuzz foodie gift exchange, all the goods for this meal were provided by Danica…although I did go astray a bit. Here’s the OG recipe with my alterations. Harvest Grain Salad… Read more >

Phew! Just finished a string of shifts at the hospital and I’m ready to start my weekend. So this Friday will be a day of catch up – I’m mega behind in all parts of life, including blogging. Last time I checked, blogging about Sunday’s meal on Thursday is…what’s the word?…ah yes, a lost cause. The Foodbuzz festival was no ordinary situation, though. I scored a whole lotta swag that I can’t wait to share with all y’all. For instance, this cute lil bugger. A Frog Hollow Farms pear. I had never heard of Frog… Read more >

I had a really great weekend – thanks for all your sweet birthday wishes. Presents! Kyle got me YogaWorks classes – something I’ve been “meaning to try” for almost half a decade now…haha. My sister was obviously inspired by our dinner at RFD because she got me the official cookbook. I’m so excited to crack into this baby! So many delicious recipes. Thanks sister 🙂 Like any other day, I started with coffee… A huge frothy mug. Breakfast was atypically savory. In this bowl, leftover roasted butternut squash, leftover chickpea salad, and a chopped apple. … Read more >
