Tens

Happy 10/10/10 to all my fellow number lovin’ freaks 🙂 Friday Kyle & I headed up to the Bay Area to spend the weekend with my fam.  Saturday was harvest at my fam’s vineyard. and the Cal v. UCLA football game.  And today, Sunday, we are heading back to So Cal. Here are some pics from the weekend, some food, some not. Eats for the I-5 Cheerios, raw nuts, pumpkin seeds, carob chips, and raisins. PB & Jizzle (ew?) & Gingerfizzle (so glad Synergy Kombucha is BACK!!!)

Wedding bells (part two)

It’s been almost a full month now since Kyle and I tied the knot.  Wow.  Time flies when you’re…starting a new life.  If you missed the first part of the big day, you can read about it here. Now let’s see, where was I…oh right…about to walk down the aisle. How proud does my dad look?  Gah, I love him.  These pictures bring tears to my eyes even now, weeks after the actual day.  Try as I might to put my emotions into words, it’s almost an impossible task. As I was walking down the… Read more >

Nope, not an earth quake drill, just my intro to an AMAZING product that I recently became obsessed with.  CoverMate Food Covers are designed for covering food with specific design details that make them a dream tool in the kitchen.
