FridayAYayAY I’m gonna fly through the AM stuff because the PM is SOOOO much bettah! Attempt #1 at making my own pumpkin butter. Good, but not great. This contains (unmeasured amounts of) WF canned pumpkin, NuNatural’s vanilla extract, cinnamon, and NuNatural’s liquid sweetener. It was weird at first, but like most other fetus obsessions, it grew into a full blown baby food crush in a matter of spoonfuls. YUM!! I had it with apples and carrots (unpictured), while chatting via BBM with my lovah. I decided to go to the gym before my sugar high… Read more >

This morning there was not enough coffee in the world. Sometimes late nights do that… Imagine this mug times 100. Ok, 3. For breakfast, I practiced my vampire bite with various pieces of fruit. Clearly I’m going through True Blood withdrawal… I also had some Smart Balance-i-fied toast. Had to finish up the Alvarado Street loaf to make way for my new Nature’s Pride loaves. (Fangs marks not included) As usual, on my day off I worked on re-stocking the kitchen/fridge for my work days. This included making: quinoa, chickpeas, black beans, steamed veggies in… Read more >

Coffee + fresh fruit + bridal mags = perfect rainy day morning I literally can’t get enough fruit lately. It’s practically all I crave (aside from hummus, I mean). Around the clock. Every hour, on the hour. Strawberries, pineapple, and apples – oh my! Which do you like more, my voracious apple-tite (#2 before 11 am), my cheesy desktop background photo, or my stunning steel colored nail polish? For me, it’s a toss up. Apples are simply THAT good, and judging by everyone’s comments on yesterday’s post, it sounds like I’m not the only… Read more >

I started the day with a raging headache. WTF?! No fair >:( Nothing a little caffeine couldn’t fix, right? Wrong. So, I pulled out the big guns Excedrin and distracted myself with brekkie until the meds kicked in. Food = happy hippie. Not the most inspiring meals. Sorry. I did make a fabulous lunch to make up for it, though. Dave’s Killer Bread (I’m down to my last slices, eek!), CAKED with tofummus, spinach, and LightLife’s Smart Deli “turkey.” CAKED I tell ya… See it and weep. After my tummy was satisfied, I decided to… Read more >

Remember all of the errands I briefly mentioned yesterday? FINALLY! I know it’s no food processor, but I wanted something on the less $$ side to tide me over until next year when I hit the kitchen appliance jackpot we register for our wedding. I can’t even TELL you how excited I was to use this baby. Unfortunately, I worked all day (on a Saturday – boo!), so my mind was preoccupied by more pressing matters, but as soon as I was out of the hospital, my mind began racing with all the possibilities. I… Read more >
