As I previously mentioned, my aunt and cousins came to see our new apartment and take us to lunch last week. We went to a local cafe called Huckleberry, which is one of the best places to eat see and be seen in all of Santa Monica. As tasty as my lunch was, I could hardly focus on the food because my cousin’s adorable son, Finn, had my undivided attention. He’s so dang cute! I know you all agree because last time he was on the blog he got more comments than the food! But… Read more >

How exactly can beer and pizza be healthy? Well, it depends on how you make them, I guess. You can use 100% Whole Wheat flour for instance. And light beer. And you can use Brendan Brazier’s recipe for “pizza sauce.” But in the end, all that matters is if it tastes good. And it did. Last month, I bookmarked a very intriguing recipe from my fave healthy everythingtarian in which she made pizza dough using beer. If your reaction to this news is anything like mine was, you’re probably chomping at the bit in anticipation… Read more >

I went gaga over the fresh, local produce at Whole Foods the other day. The prices were right and it only took a few minutes for a recipe to come to mind.

Garlic may not be my favorite thing in the world, but when it comes to making a marinade, I do enjoy a hint of it. And since the days of BBQ have peaked, these arrival of these Garlic Gold products couldn’t have been more timely. *Disclaimer: I did receive these products from the company to review. This is a side shot of the Garlic Gold Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette which we used as a marinade for the fish as well as the veggies. Check out those layers! So many glorious flavors in the oil mix.

This post is a few days old, but I was already so behind before heading off to Vegas for my bachelorette party that I was able to pre-schedule this post. I’ll be back from Sin City tomorrow. But don’t expect any posts from this weekend because (as we all know) what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas [and most DEFINITELY doesn’t end up on a blog]… Today, I had a trial run with my wedding hairdo. 😀 I can’t put up pics in the off chance that Kyle reads this post, but trust me, it… Read more >
