I promised a macaroon recipe and then went awol on ya! My bad. :P You can blame my patients for wearing me out… So how about some coconutty treats? After falling in love with Tropical Traditions’ coconut oil, I was delighted when they offered to hook me up with shredded coconut to sample. If I had an all-time-favorite-ingredient list, coconut would be rapidly rising the charts. It’s rivaling pumpkin right now, so that’s saying something! As soft and fine as the lightest snow flurries. [That’s a reference for my New York peeps. I’m (happily) far… Read more >

It’s 9/29! You didn’t think I’d forget National Coffee Day did you!?!? Not a chance. I’m a tad behind in blogging because I’ve been playing catch-up around the casa. I’ve been productive, but I hardly deserve a pat on the back since it’s all stuff that I should have accomplished last weekend. For breakfast on Tuesday I had a bowl of One Lucky Duck grawnola, cheerios, and bananas on top of greek yogurt. Tuesday I got my running mojo back and after this bowl of deliciousness had digested I set off for a nice 30 minutes… Read more >

Heat wave much? I woke up way too early on Monday because I was sweating my cojones off. I’m not so sure fall has truly arrived after this past weekend of sunshine. No complaints here! Despite the four fans and six open windows keeping the triple digit temps at bay, I still had my usual vat of coffee. Can’t fight the addiction! See? I’m still embracing summer with it’s seasonal fruit. I am in love with the peaches at the Santa Monica farmer’s market. We’re nearly out too, so Wednesday’s bounty will definitely include more… Read more >

These past few days have been a bit busy for me…among other things, I’ve been prepping for my follow-up job interview (which is tomorrow – eek!). Coffee for four. All for me 🙂 I have been cooking, too, but as you can see, blogging has taken the back burner. Also, I’ve been having a string of bottomless pit days. I’m sure you’re familiar. You know the days when you’re stomach just won’t quit. Which is all well and good, except that it leaves me with 482 photos to post. Ugh. I may as well dive… Read more >
