I am ALL out of sorts. Yesterday (?) I went to bed around noon thinking I’d sleep til 5 and then get ready to head back in to work. How’d that work out?? Yeah. Not so much. I ended up watching the latest episode of Glee (check out the creepy scene I paused it on) after tossing and turning in bed. It’s hard to sleep when it’s light out and my body is all jacked up on caffeine. I realize a mega caffeine Starbucks order wasn’t the wisest choice after being awake for 24 consecutive… Read more >

Happy Thanksgiving all! Just popping in to announce the winners of my Coconut Bliss giveaway. Drum roll please… Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine said “I’d like to try the chocolate peanut butter!! (US, btw)” & Susan @ The Great Balancing Act said “Favourite ice cream topping is a cherry on top! Maraschino. Of course. Oh, and I’m entering the Canadian giveaway. Hope you have fun at both your dinners!” Now back to stuffing my face!

On Saturday I’ll be in Glendale for Thanksgiving #1 with my mom’s side of the family. On Sunday I’ll be in San Clemente for Thanksgiving #2 with Kyle’s family. So while I cook away for my double gobble gobble weekend, I figure I may as well share a fun giveaway with you guys as a way of saying THANKS. I’m so lucky to have such kind, supportive, wonderful readers friends like you. You may have noticed that lately I’ve been raving left and right about coconut, and it’s not without merit. It’s nutritional benefits are… Read more >

I’m definitely in a big, huge, massive, obscene rut. There, I said it. Almost every single meal this week has involved nutbutter in some form. It all stemmed from this purchase. And the delivery of this package. Both have become absolutely essential parts of my diet, so much so that I’ve ended up creating the oddest food combinations, all in an effort to incorporate some form of nutbutter. For instance this sweet potato & apple dish dressed with peanut sauce. Peanut sauce you say? Yes, peanut sauce. All it is is peanut flour, almond milk… Read more >

I promised a macaroon recipe and then went awol on ya! My bad. :P You can blame my patients for wearing me out… So how about some coconutty treats? After falling in love with Tropical Traditions’ coconut oil, I was delighted when they offered to hook me up with shredded coconut to sample. If I had an all-time-favorite-ingredient list, coconut would be rapidly rising the charts. It’s rivaling pumpkin right now, so that’s saying something! As soft and fine as the lightest snow flurries. [That’s a reference for my New York peeps. I’m (happily) far… Read more >
