dried mixed fruit

Zucchini pasta weekend

If I had to design a perfect birthday weekend, I definitely wouldn’t include two days of work.  Unfortunately, my boss didn’t agree.  I guess I can’t really complain about it though, since I just got back from a week vacay in CA.  I was totally prepared with a buncha pre-packed food. Fruit, of the dried persuasion, included mango and pear slices, as well as a strawberry chewy-thingy (Nike race freebie), while fresh fruit was limited to a smallish apple.  I also bar-ed it up with the Blueberry Crisp flavored Clif, and a Cashew Cookie Larabar. … Read more >

Little Miss Sunshine

Looks like I brought the sunny CA weather back East with me, huh?  Let’s hope it lasts. My camera died mid-lunch prep, so only 75% of my pre-packed eats are shown below. Ellie’s presents came in handy with my lunch prep.  First up, the Tokyo Seaweed Salad, which I chose because I had extra Arame seaweed to use from yesterday’s lunch. I mixed the rest of the arame (on the left) with half the Tokyo Seaweed salad and added it to a fistful of spinach.  I added raisins after the photo because it looked too… Read more >

Red eyezzzzz

I can hardly keep my eyes open.  Red-eye flights kinda suck, huh.  But I guess all flights kinda suck.  No matta, I’m back in the NYCizzle.  I miss home already, but look at all the goodies I came home to!!! Let birthday week begin!! The first package was full of Averie’s raw vegan macaroons and donut holes, which smelled SO dang heavenly, I waited all of 5 seconds before digging into them. Oh, wow.  I’m pretty jealous of her taste tester daughter – someone get this girl her own bakery.  The macaroons were coconutty and… Read more >

Home sweet home

I am back in CA!  YEAH!!  But before I get to the fun I’m am having on the West Coast, I will quickly recap my few days leading up to coming here. I worked on Tuesday, so I made sure to get to bed early before midnight on Monday night (I don’t like yawning through codes thankyouverymuch).  So, as I was dozing off Monday night, my phone rang so loud and abruptly, I bolted upright nearly shocking myself into SVT (cardiac talk, no worries).  Who the eff would text me past midnight??  By now, my… Read more >

Is there an app for that?

I don’t have an iPhone, but if I did, I know I would be obsessed with all those fun little apps.  If only there were one that could help me decide what I wanna eat!  Sometimes I can’t for the life of me figure out what I’m in the mood for. Do you ever have this problem?  This morning I stared into the fridge for a solid 5 minutes, then went to the pantry, then back to the fridge again…and I still came up with NADA.  I didn’t feel like anything sweet or savory, and… Read more >
