I made another hippie loaf. This pumpkin banana bread recipe is crazy yum. I should have made another batch way sooner. I don’t know what was holding me back. Actually I think I do. I rarely let bananas get to the mega-brown state that is oh-so-perfect for bread making. Smoothies and oats usually get them long before they reach that point of no return. This batch was moist like a muffin, but also fluffy like bread. Perfect when warmed and topped with peanut butter. With a side of coffee and berries. The weather lately has… Read more >

This weekend was not my finest in terms of scheduling. With back to back night shifts, day time yoga classes, and the desire to squeeze in a run when the sun came out from hiding, there was hardly any time for sleeping. Ambitious? Or ridiculous? Either way, I snacked much more than I composed real meals because my body was so out of whack with all the time adjustments. Awake all night, asleep all morning, awake all afternoon…sometimes it’s just too confusing for my poor GI system. I wound up finding a solution in… Read more >

That would be the night shift. Oy. Why do they all go crazy when the sun sets? Why?!? That’s my attempt at taking a picture of the full moon. Mighty fine camera skills right thurr. As ridiculous as last night was (and trust me, it was plenty ridiculous), I made it home in one piece to curl up on the couch with a new Gossip Girl episode (finally!). And whatdoyouknow, this post seems to be making semi-sense, too (thus far…). Compared to Amy Winehouse, I have my sh!t together. Yesterday started the same as any… Read more >

Is it just me, or does my coffee froth look like a person running? I could be going crazy. It’s entirely possible. It’s actually the more likely scenario. Still, I couldn’t help but feel like my morning coffee was sending me subliminal messages. I ignored them and went for a bike ride instead. It was AWESOME. Before hitting the road, I had a bowl of oats with a chopped apple. Don’t be deceived by the above photo, though. This batch of oats was anything but average. I bulked up the 1/2 cup rolled oats with… Read more >

Just as I expected, you guys had such thoughtful responses to The Cove. It’s hard to not react with outrage, disgust, and horror when you find out such hideous things are going on in secret. It makes me want to take action immediately. Or at the very least do my part to help spread the word. So there you have it. Please see this film. As for Sunday. The post title pretty much sums it up. Breakfast didn’t really exist since I slept in so late. I made this bowl of oats just before the… Read more >
