It’s all coming back to me nowwwww. Hideous song. I apologize. But it’s how I feel now that I’m back at work. I love it! I can’t even tell you how awesome it feels to be nursing again. I will write more about my job in the coming weeks but for now I am going to bust through the food. *This post is old, so disregard any references to time. My first day was actually last Thursday and I wrote this shortly thereafter but never got the post up. Remember my pre-packed eats from yore?… Read more >

After getting back from a weekend at home, I made myself a ridiculously ambitious to-do list. Mondays already suck, this was overkill. Moody monday coffee. After the caffeine hit my brain I was feeling energetic and began to tackle my list with a carpe-diem-style vigor. Bring it. Breakfast went from the above, to the below in ~30 minutes. Butternut banana oat cakes Texture-wise it still needs perfecting, so for now no recipe, but I’ll get it up soon. It held me over for hours. Crazy talk, right? When lunch time rolled around I had alittle… Read more >

If you’re sick of all the wedding posts, you may as well skip this one too. Ok just kidding.

Faz is a gem of a restaurant. It’s located in Danville – on the cutest street – and showcases classic Mediterranean food. As if I’d have a rehearsal dinner that didn’t feature hummus!?! Puh-leez. So after practicing this… …we all… Read more >

Moving back to CA, one of the things I was most looking forward to was having a balcony. A balcony allows me to have two very important things: 1) a BBQ 2) a garden Ok, it’s not quite a garden, yet. But it’s getting there… As an early birthday present from my in-laws, I got organic rosemary, basil, and thyme to give my green thumb a jump start.

When I was a young thang growing up in CA I loved the rain. In elementary school indoor recesses were a novelty. In junior high and high school, the rain meant we had an excuse to get insanely muddy (yes, I was a bit of a tomboy). Especially playing soccer in the rain…so fun! Cut to my years on the East Coast… In NYC I hated the rain. I’m not really sure what prompted this drastic change of heart, but I suspect it had to do with the fact that there was ALWAYS the chance… Read more >
