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 >

Not the Fonz… Faz! While home, Kyle and I made more headway with the wedding planning, including research for our rehearsal dinner. FAZ is a cute Mediterranean restaurant with amazing food, classy ambiance, open atmosphere, and YES, those are trees inside! Anything green gets the thumbs up from this girl hippie. After we checked out the space, they treated us to dinner. Fabulous! We started with brick oven flat bread and rosemary foccacia fresh from the oven. It was warm, fluffy and heavenly. Kyle dipped his in the seasoned oil & vinegar with parmesan… Read more >

This morning I woke up with a mission. My one and only goal for the day was to finish off the bottomless bag of Stacy’s Pita chips. That’s it. Coffee, whatever. Exercise, puh-lease. I simply wanted THESE deliciously addictive, wonderfully horrible, pita chips out of my apartment life. The way these mothahs taunt me is inexplicable… And lemme tell you, when I set my mind to something, I get ‘er done. Stacy says the bag has 28 servings. Elise says 8. I wish Stacy were right, but the reality is she’s way off base. Like… Read more >

Last day of work before I go home!!!!!!!!!!!!! Today’s shift seemed like the longest countdown of my life. I was actually pretty busy with my patient load, but I was still hyper-aware of the time left ‘til I was home freeeeeeeee. Here’s what I had packed up: I spy with my little eye…MORE pita chips (damn you Stacy), two freakishly large apples, a Chocolate Brownie Z bar, White Chocolate Macadamia Luna bar, Blueberry Crisp Clif bar, and a fiberrrrific MONSTA salad. Holy veggie-loading. This salad contained: steamed kale, raw spinach, cukes, steamed carrots, cherry tomatoes,… Read more >

I made a Mexi-kale salad for lunch. Sure, I just coined the term, but I think it fits. On top of the kale was wakame seaweed, butternut squash, cherry tomatoes, black beans, and some salsa (added later so it wouldn’t sogg-ify). Yes, I realize the involvement of seaweed in a south-of-the-border themed salad may be a bit of a stretch, but can’t I just claim poetic license on this one? To complete the (admittedly weak) Mexi theme, I also had a baggy of Brad’s Blues All Natural blue corn tortilla chips which added the perfect… Read more >
