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 >

These past few days have been a bit busy for me…among other things, I’ve been prepping for my follow-up job interview (which is tomorrow – eek!). Coffee for four. All for me 🙂 I have been cooking, too, but as you can see, blogging has taken the back burner. Also, I’ve been having a string of bottomless pit days. I’m sure you’re familiar. You know the days when you’re stomach just won’t quit. Which is all well and good, except that it leaves me with 482 photos to post. Ugh. I may as well dive… Read more >

If you are wondering what a type A person looks like before a job interview, here you go: Prepping slash watching the seconds on the clock tick by. SO nervous. Keep your digits (all of ‘em) crossed for me. After an hour of selling myself offering to give up my first born child for the job, I noshed on a colorful bowl of strawberries and apples. It was still gloomy weather when noon arrived, so I felt like a warm comfort sammie. Tempeh fakin’ bacon. I bought this on a whim (and because it was… Read more >

I went to bed sooo late last night because I was waiting for Kyle to finish his homework (yes, he has homework). Too bad for me that didn’t end up being until 1 am. I wasn’t too concerned because, hey, it’s not like I have a job or anything. But instead of sleeping in and regaining those lost hours, I was up and at ‘em at 7:30. 😡 6 hours of sleep? Meh. Not bad, but not a routine I want to roll with all the time. The early rise and shine did give me… Read more >

Cheater cheater pumpkin potato eater. Last week my cousin posted a recipe that looked both tasty and vegan-izable, so I starred it and saved it for a rainy day. Ok, a cloudy day…this is LA after all, not New York. Yesterday was that day…only I had very few of the ingredients on hand. No matter, I subbed like a pro and wound up with a totally different (but still very tasty) dish. It took very little time since I cheated every step of the way, but trust me, cutting corners never tasted so good. I… Read more >
