This weekend went by way too quickly. I played catch up the whole time, and it’s already over! :( All I do is make massive bulk meals for the week. Prep prep prep. In any event, the recap need not be dragged out. Here are the bare essentials…including how I plan ahead for a week’s worth of work eats. Brunch Coffee sprinkled with cocoa Sando with hummus and vegan “cheese” on Ezekiel heel pieces. Snack Assorted platter of veggies, fruit, and “cheese” Workout 30 minutes of running on the beach 15 minutes of leisurely bike… Read more >

Phew! Just finished a string of shifts at the hospital and I’m ready to start my weekend. So this Friday will be a day of catch up – I’m mega behind in all parts of life, including blogging. Last time I checked, blogging about Sunday’s meal on Thursday is…what’s the word?…ah yes, a lost cause. The Foodbuzz festival was no ordinary situation, though. I scored a whole lotta swag that I can’t wait to share with all y’all. For instance, this cute lil bugger. A Frog Hollow Farms pear. I had never heard of Frog… 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 >

As I previously mentioned, my aunt and cousins came to see our new apartment and take us to lunch last week. We went to a local cafe called Huckleberry, which is one of the best places to eat see and be seen in all of Santa Monica. As tasty as my lunch was, I could hardly focus on the food because my cousin’s adorable son, Finn, had my undivided attention. He’s so dang cute! I know you all agree because last time he was on the blog he got more comments than the food! But… Read more >

Mon ami, c’est Ratatouille! Pixar had it right: “Why do they call it that? If you’re gonna name a food, you should give it a name that sounds delicious. Ratatouille doesn’t sound delicious. It sounds like "rat" and "patootie." Rat-patootie, which does not sound delicious.” But trust me, it is très délicieux. Tomatoes, onions, zucchini, bell peppers, and eggplant…all oiled up and ready for the grill. Isn’t it amazing that salt and extra virgin olive oil can work such magic on the barbecue? All together now… Magnifique. To accompany the ratatouille, we threw together… Read more >
