So me and Paris got off to a great start (hooray for fresh baguettes!). Dinner was less successful. This, my friends, is a falafel gyro.  With cheese.  And fries.  Uhhhh…merci, but no? On the plus side (not the French meaning of the word, because we found out today “plus” means “more” in French as per our phrase book), I did discover I like Greek beer.

Kyle and I managed to take… Read more >

You may have noticed that I took some time off from blogging this week.  Many people turn to rules and the likes to get back on track, but I prefer the opposite.  Personally, I equate rules with restrictions, and I’m not ok with that.  If that works for you, great.  For me, it’s just unhealthy.  Instead, I go the opposite route, listening (and I mean, really paying attention) to my body for guidance.  I think that being an intuitive eater is extra difficult if you have a food blog because it just increases the amount… Read more >
