I don’t even know where to begin…this past week has been one of the most incredible times of my life. Between getting engaged, visiting friends and family in Nor Cal and So Cal, my cousin getting married and my other cousin giving birth, it has been a fantastically memorable week. Yes. My only two cousins managed to coordinate the biggest events in their lives to overlap!!!!!!!!! My older cousin went into labor 5 weeks early, and ended up in the hospital on the night of the rehearsal dinner and gave birth to a healthy baby… Read more >

Inspired by my girl K’s creamy smooth hummus, I decided to take a second stab at making my own hummus. I have tried this before, and the result was too healthy tasting. So this time I decided to up the fat. That’s the ticket!!! Into the blender: 1 can of chickpeas (the big one) 3/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil 1/4 cup plain soy milk 5 shakes of sesame seeds and salt (to taste) OMG. The creamy texture was SO good. If I could have licked the inside of the blender, I would have…I… Read more >

I apologize for being away (I missed you all, even if you didn’t notice I was gone, haha). These past few days have been insane. I can’t even begin to try to condense it into a blog-worthy Cliff’s notes version. So… (a) I was working a LOT – gotta get the cash flow to pay those billz, yo! (b) A patient stroked out RIGHT before I was supposed to head out on my lunch break (the blogger meet up, no less) – ahhhhhh! I hate to say which part of that last sentence disappointed me… Read more >

This is gonna be snappy because I’m tired and grumpy. AM: I made some java with silk and sf vanilla syrup…which I sipped while doing some mega apartment cleaning. I had an apple for a mid-morning snack. Thrilling, I know. And then the fun began…that’s right, I’m talking March Madness!!! A few quarters under way, I got lunch ready. I spread some plain greek yogurt and red pepper hummus on a whole wheat tortilla, then added in spinach, shredded carrots, and baked tofu (more from yesterday’s batch), with lots of CURRY on top. I don’t… Read more >

Happy St. Patty’s Day! I don’t have any morning pics because my computer crashed AGAIN, so now it’s in the hands of the geek squad…more on that later though. Don’t worry, you didn’t miss much. I had the usual coffee and a piece of toast with Earth Balance (approx. a mountain of it). I felt a little guilty chugging coffee knowing I was heading to the dentist’s office in an hour, but I got over it pretty quick (once I realized exactly how scary the zombie-like alternative was). I’m proud to report my dentist’s appt… Read more >
