There are several areas on the Westside that I adore, one of which is Montana Ave. Since our friends live nearby, they took us to Pradeep’s. I love Indian food! (Side note: I just discovered that this place has nutritional information available online if you’re into that…for some reason that seems a bit bizarre for an Indian restaurant in my opinion…not sure why, but whatever). We started with the “famous samosas” which were filled with vegetables, mint and tamarind chutney, and then fried to crispy perfection. Yum. Not heavy or greasy at all. Simply delicious…. Read more >

For the freakin’ LIFE of me I couldn’t make it out of bed this morning. By 10 am I just resigned to a morning in bed (why fight it). I made coffee and snuggled back in my covers with a crossword, mug of frothy joe, and some trashy tv. How’s that for a perfect morning? Hump day much. Around noon I dragged myself to the living room for some apples and computer time. Since it was gorgeous outside and I wasn’t hungry for lunch I made my way outside, for a walk around the neighb. … Read more >

I woke up this morning and found that Kyle had left me a note. Obviously these vegan, gluten free, agave sweetened brownies satisfied my boy’s taste buds! Poor guy was at the office until the wee hours of the night (long after I went to bed), so when he got home he went to town on the remaining baked goods. Thanks to his note, I got a good laugh in as I headed off to work. Packed lunchables. Yes, TWO apples today. Honestly, I feel like I should bring in more, but my reputation on… Read more >

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 >

Sunday morning started just like Saturday – I was off to work before the clock chimed 6. My lunch was similar to Saturday’s too. Let’s see if you can identify the differences? Kidding! That’s way too much effort. Instead, I’ll just tell you. Same salad. Different bars. Today’s snacks included: Clif’s MoJo Dipped PB&J, Chocolate Coconut Chew Larabar, dried fruit (mango and pears), and fresh fruit (apple and pear). Sometimes I wake up with my stomach growling, but other days, I don’t actually get hungry for hours. And weirder yet, sometimes I eat a meal… Read more >
