Where the heart is

I’m home!    The last 48 hours have been so crazy.  Moving = complete whirlwind. We drove down to LA on Monday (I lead the way in our Civic, while Kyle brought up the rear in our rental cargo van).  At least this time I had pre-packed my food. Hummus + raw zucchini slices + spinach + ‘shrooms + sourdough Hard to eat while driving.  I know there are no cell phones allowed on the road, but I think grubbing is way more distracting.  At least for me.  I’m a very focused eater 😉 I… Read more >

Vegans in Vegas

I know I said what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas… BUT… …there was (slightly) more to my Bachelorette weekend than boozing and dancing. And, by that, I’m referring to the food.

I slept until 5:15 pm (!!) [when the babies woke up from their nap, so did I]. I still felt like death so I had another… Read more >

Portland’s Finest

Are you ready for this?  San Francisco to Portland…all 622 miles of it…and all the Starbucks’ in between.  Ready?  Set?  Go!   We left at 5 am and by 8:30 I was itching for some caffeine.  I quickly referenced my above map for a super quick stop and we were back on the road in no time with two coffees on board. I missed a few signs while I was getting busy with my ‘Bucks.  Pretty sure we were at least in the 300 range before it was time to stop for Starbucks numero dos. … Read more >

Red, white, and blue

Happy 4th everyone!  I’m currently in Las Vegas for my bachelorette party.  Keep me in your thoughts. If you want a real post, check out last year’s FOURTH of JULY post.  I made an amazing black bean burger.  This year, my only goal is survival.
