I just want everyone to know that’s how I read “WIAW.” Yes, I’m weird. So each week, when Wednesday rolls around, and the whole blog world shares their “What I Ate Wednesday” posts, I’m constantly doing Indian chants in my head. Better than out loud I suppose… Maybe you want to click away from my crazy blog now. Or maybe you’ll read WIAW like that from now on, too. Sorry. This is actually what I ate on Tuesday, posted on Wednesday. But, WIATPOW doesn’t really roll off the tongue. 5:30 – coffee with almond milk… Read more >

I have a pie-related question. Ridiculous or genius? You tell me. The thing is, the “pumpkin pie” spices are ones you probably already have in your pantry: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, & allspice. The only difference is now you can buy it pre-assembled. And as we all know, humans are suckers for anything that increases efficiency and reduces labor…even if it only saves 0.6 seconds. Totally worth it. Right? Maybe not. It costs $5 at Whole Foods and it’s not even organic. So I’ll just make my own thankyouverymuch. Sweet Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix 1… Read more >

If you didn’t know this already, you can make almost anything in a rice cooker. I use it mostly for quinoa. But it works for steel cut oats too. Look at that texture and crunch!! In case you were hoping for something more enlightening, I’m sorry to disappoint you, that was the tip. Steel cut oats topped in carob chips and bananas… And again. Because sometimes more is more. As for that announcement…the Thrive Foods giveaway winner is… #94 Casey “OOoh that recipe looks great! I’d ask Brendan what food combo is best… Read more >

My next birthday blog post is from my best friend Lauren. We were so close growing up that our teachers literally wondered what was going to happen once we graduated and went off to separate colleges. Our high school band teacher was especially concerned. And yes, I just revealed the fact that we both were in band all the way through high school. Photo evidence? Me & Lauren & our French Horns. Yeahhhh… Well, now that I’ve given away my deepest darkest nerdiest secret, I will turn the blog over to Lauren… Elise and… Read more >

Despite feigning concern about aging, I really don’t care about sharing how old I am. Kyle is younger (and he enjoys reminding me of it), but I am healthy and happy and have enjoyed my 20’s so there’s no reason for me to pretend that adding another candle to my cake is some big stressful occasion. It’s a happy one! How did I celebrate my birthday? First of all, I slept in. Way in. And even though I felt a bit guilty about it, I told myself I was allowed to do whatever I… Read more >
