Vancouver time

By the time you read this, I am likely in the upper itty-bitty corner of WA chilling at the in-laws casa before heading across the border to Vancouver.  Kyle and I put in a bid for Olympics tix decades ago and, amazingly enough, we got them for a pretty stellar event.  If you keep your eyes peeled to your TV sets during the men’s US v. Canada ice hockey game, I promise I will try my best to do something obnoxious enough to get some air time (think stars & stripes face painting).  I’m currently… Read more >

If it’s midnight, is it still dinner?

I don’t know much about snowboarding jumps but Saun White’s triple McSwoopy Loop Double CrissCross Uppity looked infinitely cooler than any other athlete’s trick.  Wow.  Anyways, here are my fabulous work eats. Because of all the ah-maze comments you guys left me, I decided to give the oatmeal raisin GNU flavor & fiber bar a second shot, and I will definitely be getting some of the other flavors to try as well…it was definitely better than the ThinkThin bar I had.  I bought a bunch of these ThinkThin nasties all at once (like months ago),… Read more >

Be still my Delicata heart

I don’t know how this beaut escaped my taste buds for so long, but now that I’ve found it, I’m not letting it go.  This squash just blew my former #1 (butternut) way out of the water.

Pep(itas) in my step

Froth-master-flex If you want foam like whoa, you can always click over to my tutorials tab. Anyways, I spent the AM researching items for our wedding registry.  SO.  MUCH.  FUN.  I mean, I love Kyle and all (obviously), but getting married has mega perks aside from the whole life-of-eternal-bliss thing.  I am going to have one baller kitchen once I am a Mrs.  Of course, I am always looking for more ideas, so if you want to share with me things that you think I should register for/know about – hit me up in the… Read more >

PranaBars taste good

PranaBar hooked it up!! I was soooo excited to try these bars.  My work eats were long overdue for a newbie 🙂 Pairs of everything (salad, apples, bars). Salad #1 (spinach, asparagus, green beans, carrots, adzuki beans) Salad #2 (quinoa, peas, corn, dried cranz) Bar#1 (Coconut Acai PranaBar) Bar #2 (Mocha-walla Odwalla bar) Apple #1 (red gala) Apple #2 (yellow wahsington) I think it’s fairly obvious which part of my lunch I was most excited to try… (Aside from Larabars) I have never found a bar with such great stats.  Seriously, this company has a… Read more >
