As far as weekends go, this was pretty damn near perfect. It started with a 10 am wake up call (sleep in much?), and then a bit of coffee loading. Since it was a GORGEOUS 40+ degrees outside, Kyle and I wanted to get our faces in the sun asap. So, after snacking on one (and a half) of my chia seed oat bars, we set out for a run in the park. I can’t even tell you how long I have been waiting to feel the road beneath my feet. The treadmill just hasn’t… Read more >

I decided to make up a recipe today. Because my baking skills aren’t as amazing as I’d like (I’m certainly no pastry chef), I usually follow recipes rather diligently. But tonight, for some reason, I decided to wing it. I suppose I was inspired by the massive shipment I received the day before from NuNaturals. After they discovered my vegan cornbread recipe (that was perfectly sweet thanks to NuNaturals Stevia Baking Blend), they asked if they could share my recipe with other “foodie enthusiasts.” As if that wasn’t thrilling enough, they offered to send… Read more >

My appetite was a monster the other day. Not a little monster either, a BIG a$$ monster. I didn’t have work, so I let myself sleep in a bit, but once my alarm went off at 8, my stomach was growling like an overly-protective Rottweiler. That’s not typical for me. My stomach usually needs a few minutes (or an hour) to warm up to the idea of calories. If you know me, you know I’m not a morning person, but my stomach is even less so. Ordinarily I ease it in with coffee…today, though, I… Read more >

This weekend I relaxed more than I have in a loooooong time. I didn’t exercise. I hardly cooked. To be honest, I pretty much spent the weekend watching the Australian Open, football, and hanging out with Kyle (I did a fair amount of eating as well). If that’s not the picturesque weekend, well, shoot me. I have a TON of photos, but they aren’t very glamorous and don’t require much in the way of explanations…so…without further ado… JAVA the hut Bluffin’ with my muffin How to make quinoa ghetto Afternoon delight(s) YouShake customized “Blended… Read more >

It takes just one full day of my regular hippie eating to get me back in the swing of things. Today was perfect. I started the day with foamy coffee and a massive bowl tupperware of oats. Explanation behind the use of tupperware? Well, I had planned on making overnight oats for work the previous day, but I completely forgot about it in the morning. (It’s already a challenge for me to transport my regular pre-packed lunches, so adding another tupperware was the straw that broke the camel’s back my backpack) Forgetting the oats worked… Read more >
