Not a typical statement (or opinion). For me at least. But I’m being honest here. Between the hours of noon and 5 pm, I graze. Meals have no room here anymore. And I’m not super proud of what has been going in my mouth this last week. It’s not terrible stuff. But it still leaves me feeling blah. I can do better. I miss well balanced full meals. They’re easier to build – with all the macronutrients represented. And they leave me sated for hours (until my next full meal). Grazing is confusing. I’m not… Read more >

This whole Lance Armstrong business really bums me out. I always believed his denials. I guess I just wanted him to be telling the truth about being clean so badly. I read his books way back when they came out and found his story so inspirational. I felt so bad for him when his medals were stripped. And now it turns out he was covering up illegal drug use all along. Sucks. Since I’m on the subject of random current events (and my reactions), what do you guys make of this new Girl Scout Cookie? … Read more >

Breakfast #1: mom’s plum jam + Earth Balance + cinnamon raisin Vital Vittles Breakfast #2: quinoa + scrambled eggs Lunch: Love Grown Cocoa Goodness oat clusters + raspberries + almond milk I had 3 bowls of this, so there’s not much left in the bag. Maybe one servings worth? Stupid serving sizes. Snack: apple + Trilogy Kombucha In the afternoon, Kyle went on a walk and wound up in our old neighborhood and decided to pop into Santa Monica Seafood. This is the only place I’ve found close to me that makes… Read more >

I consider myself an expert in two areas. Hummus Granola Hippie staples, right? I make damn good versions of both, but when it comes right down to it, certain brands can do wondrous things, thereby blowing my own creations out of the water. We all know which hummus brand I prefer (I’m fairly transparent on the blog – hint: rhymes with jabra). [Truthfully, I don’t think our fridge has been without Sabra. Ever.] But until recently, I preferred my own quinoa granola to almost every store bought kind on the market. This recipe gets… Read more >

You guys are HILARIOUS! I loved the guesses about my pasta’s hidden ingredients. To back up a bit. A few days ago, I had a typical oatmeal breakfast with strawberries, raisins, and peanut butter. But then I added Love Grown Raisin Almond Crunch Oat Clusters of Love… All I have to say is: damn. This is definitely their best flavor – and that’s saying a lot because I friggin’ adored their other granola flavors (especially cocoa). I couldn’t stop. Next thing I knew, I saw the bottom of the bag. Yikes! Needless… Read more >
