Evidently Los Angeles kiddos are getting their version of a snow day today. Last night I was tweeting about the crazy winds, so it’s not surprising. A lot of people lost power in Pasadena and downtown LA too apparently, including Ethel who got to go home from work early. I’m actually a bit jealous (of the kids, not the people who lost power) since I don’t get days off for weather or holidays (or anything). Pity party over. I’m going to Argentina in 6 days. This pumpkin banana smoothie dropped my body core temp about… Read more >

I was going to try to do a WIAW post, but I just couldn’t get it together in time. Or photograph everything. Here’s some of my “what I ate wednesday week” in bullet points. Monday Coffee. Duh. My GF loaf is going fast and I still never even showed it’s birth. Sunbeam and Bob’s Red Mill make bread making pretty effortless. Unfortunately due to the garbanzo bean flour, my GI system was not very pleased with the final product. Tasty? Yes. Bloating? Very. It took a bit of trial and error with other… Read more >

Yesterday, after my pancakes had digested, I squished a run into the morning (squished being the operative word). It was 26 minutes long and I was in such a rush to shower and get ready afterwards that I seriously neglected my post-workout stretching. Bad runner! Knowing it would be a mistake to leave without eating first, I whipped this up on my way out the door. I was so friggin’ rushed that in between pulsing the bullet, I was tearing through my closet, jabbing mascara into my lashes, and chucking whatever I could grab… Read more >

If there were any title more appropriate, I’d go with it, but this is really just a bunch of pics that have accumulated…and if they help give you ideas on healthy FODMAPS options, great. If not, sorry for this post’s random nature. Two recent recipes inspired this meal: Jenna’s veggie fried rice and Evan’s fried quinoa. I make quinoa in bulk at the beginning of every week. Without fail. Some weeks I make two batches because I go through it so quickly. I use my rice cooker, so it’s a completely mindless activity…as second… Read more >

Last week I was Kyle’s designated driver. Happy hour with the guys? Nope. Getting up before the sun is the opposite of a happy hour. Especially when you are driving a grumpy patient who hasn’t eaten in several hours. I didn’t want to rub in my ability to drink, so I held off on the coffee. After Kyle went into the procedure, I went to the family waiting area. I had planned on walking to Starbucks, but the nurse came to get me a mere 15 minutes later. Speedy surgeon much? Everything went perfectly well,… Read more >
