I NEED A BREVILLE!!! Literally, every day I wake up, sigh, and think of the fun Andrea and Jenna (and countless others in the food blog world) are having (that I’m missing out on)… I even have ingredients planned out in my head. I wish I could just win the lottery, I have so many plans for $$ in other peoples’ bank accounts. Instead of juice, I started out my day the way I always do…talk about withdrawal issues. Thank goodness we braved the storm last night, fresh ground coffee is worth soaking wet… Read more >

Monday = BLAH It figures it would rain pour all day. After Saturday’s crazy long run and Sunday’s race, my leg muscles were struggling. Let’s just say this week will be a serious taper week since next weekend is my HALF MARATHON!!! You would have thought this weekend’s race would have calmed my nerves, but I think I am even MORE jittery and anxious now. : / Java love + a whole lotta froth + toast with snb = good morning! Since the weather was crap I couldn’t procrastinate any longer. I was forced to… Read more >

I spent most of today outside, so my food pictures will be fewer than usual. But that’s a good thing. It means SUNSHINE! I woke up crazy early (thanks for that 6:55 am text Jess) and enjoyed some frothy java before heading to the gym. I like getting my workouts done early when the weather is awesome…plus Jess and I had an appointment at Jenny Yoo to get to. [insert 4 miles on the elliptical here] After the gym I showered, beautified, and chowed down the above brunch while trying not to get peanut butter… Read more >

This morning I woke up to Kyle crawling into bed. “What time is it?” I asked…to which he replied “You have to get up in 10 minutes.” WHAT!? He was working on this deal until 5:05 AM, but guess what? IT’S DONE!!! And my STUD of a fiancé was the leader of the entire project. Sorry, I just had to brag a bit, now that I’m finally able to discuss it, and not sworn to SUPER secrecy. ANYways… New bread! Okay, maybe not new new, because I would never stray from my beloved Alvarado Street,… Read more >

I’m not sure why it’s a challenge…since I heart salads, and welcome all motivation to get creative in the mixed greens department. But hey, I’m not one to turn down something I can obviously succeed at a challenge. Back to the b-fast eats. A pile of toast with some Smart Balance light. Note the pre-photo nibbled corner. 😉 I need to go shopping, after living on live sprouted bread (ie Ezekiel, Alvarado street, etc) for so long, the regular whole wheat stuff just doesn’t cut it… Other AM yummies: vanilla soy yog and chai… Read more >
