The last day 🙁 How sad that I’m now reliving the angst that accompanied this island goodbye all over again… Since our flight’s departure wasn’t until 5 pm, we decided to make the most of our last day on Kauai and drive up and around to the Northern part of the island that we hadn’t yet seen. Along the way we stopped for lunch at a local veg-friendly joint that had been recommended to us for a good meal. Mermaids Cafe was a hop, skip, and a jump away from being a ghetto hole-in-the-wall place. … Read more >

This weekend went by way too quickly. I played catch up the whole time, and it’s already over! :( All I do is make massive bulk meals for the week. Prep prep prep.

Brunch Coffee sprinkled with cocoa Sando with hummus and vegan “cheese” on Ezekiel heel pieces.

Ok. Honestly? I’m feeling a bit sick…great way to start off married life, huh? It’s not surprising that an illness should strike now, after the intense go-go-go nature of the past month I guess I had it coming. My body must’ve caught wind that my defenses are (finally) down. Too much travel, too little sleep, and on top of it all, my eating habits have been ridiculously (and abnormally) erratic over the past week (see above breakfast of crackers & hummus). I guess my immune system deserves a day off…I just hope a day doesn’t… Read more >

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 I love thee, let me count the ways… 1. Prepared foods bar As you are about to see, I’ve been going through a few obsessions. Whole Foods makes it dangerously easy to slip into food ruts because each dish is better than the last and meals require no effort whatsoever (aside from determining if you want the Kirstie Alley size or the more moderate portion) because they are already prepared. Fumi Tofu Salad I was first introduced to this glorious dish back in my college days, when the Whole Foods opened in Westwood and… Read more >
