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 >

The flood actually started Sunday morning, and after four unreturned calls to our landlord we took matters into our own hands and began calling plumbers. Apparently Sundays aren’t ideal for your pipes to burst because we called every plumber in Santa Monica and nobody returned our calls…until 30 minutes later. We finally got one guy to agree to come look at the sink…after putting down a $100 deposit. He didn’t arrive until 75 minutes later. At that point we had several drenched towels and one full a$$ bucket. He “worked” on the leak for… Read more >

Forget this Black Friday business, I’m too stuffed to function. I am actually having a hard time looking at the food photos I have from Thanksgiving…but the pictures of the kiddos…I could look at those all day. It may be a while before I can comfortably post Thursday’s meal(s), but I have pre-feast work food to share. First up, a peanut flour/oat breakfast. In addition to oats and peanut flour, I stirred in some home-made granola and chia seeds as well. Sometimes my breakfast bowls look semi-watery and I occasionally get questions… Read more >

As you all well know, I pack my own food to bring to work every single day. Some days I don’t take photos because I have leftovers that I’ve already shared (or I’m just lazy). Sometimes I take pictures and then forget to post them, and then they pile up on my hard drive. <— I’m pretty sure I’m eerily close to a crash. Power lunching in 5…4…3…2…and go. Breakfast: overnight oats soaked with chia seeds, cinnamon and raisins Snack: Marchini almonds Not as good as regular almonds in my opinion. They… Read more >

I hit the bagel sammie jackpot with this one. What you’ll need: Udi’s GF bagels Artisana’s raw cashini butter LightLife’s organic smokey tempeh strips organic egg First you toast the bagel. I store mine in the freezer, though, so I had to thaw it first, then toast it. If you’re lazy (or in need of a breakfast bagel stat) you can nuke it in the micro for 20 seconds before putting it in the toaster. Then you spread cashini butter on one half of the bagel. I love the flavor of this stuff,… Read more >
