Happy Cinco de Mayo bloggies! Five is my fave number, so I have always loved this date, add in Mexican food, and I’m partying like it’s my birthday! Today was a ridic. I couldn’t take pics of everything I ate. Cliff’s notes: wedding, food, wedding, food, wedding, food, wedding The day started off rough. I had frothing issues. **Side note: I didn’t know there was a difference in Stevia derived sweeteners (Truvia, Rebiana, PureVia, SweetLeaf, etc.), but after one of Gena’s posts, I looked on the back of my NuStevia box and was a… Read more >

Last night I got the best surprise. After 10+ hours of traveling I was so excited to find a HUGE package waiting for me (TWSS). Holy So.Much.Stuff. Newman’s Own hooked it UP!! Can you even believe all these goodies fit in a box. This is my heaven. I hardly knew where to begin! Even though it was well past midnight I had to try something (duh). I think it’s pretty obv what I wanted, since K has been making my mouth water for days…HERMITS! Stats for the original flavor: Organic Unbleached Wheat Flour, Organic… Read more >

Don’t worry I’m a clean hippie. Showers are me time. But wait ‘til you see my lovely dinner…it’s packed with salad newbies. But first things first. I have no idea why, but I woke up WAY freakin’ early. On a non-work day, WTF!? Anyways, I had a frothy mug of joe to get things rolling…followed by a strawberry chobz with diced strawberries on top. Mmmm…look at all that greek yogurt goodness. I also had an apple while reading blogs and watching last night’s Gossip Girl and The Hills killing some brain cells. After I… Read more >

Sometimes I’m a walking contradiction. Case in point: nuts are not my thing, nut butters on the other hand, are TOTALLY my thing. I am not very vocal about my distaste for nuts, because, well, frankly, it’s a bit embarrassing in this food blog community. But today, I broke out of my shell (pun intended) and had my first nut milk experience. **A HUGE thanks to everyone who commented with recommendations on my previous post about non-milk milks.** As for the almond milk…It was…interesting? I can’t even think of any way to describe it. Definitely… Read more >

Overdose alert!! I kinda went crazy with the naranjas today (fyi that’s oranges in Spanish). So now that I’ve fulfilled Elise’s daily cultural lesson for all you non-espanol-ers out there, I’ll continue on with today’s post. Gringo, much? I made this one with soymilk, but I am SO excited to go shopping today for a new non-milk milk. Can I just say how amazing this blogging community is?!? Seriously, I have a question, and I turn to you all, and voila, answer! So a HUGE thanks for all your suggestions! Seriously, you guys rock…. Read more >
