My appetite was a monster the other day. Not a little monster either, a BIG a$$ monster. I didn’t have work, so I let myself sleep in a bit, but once my alarm went off at 8, my stomach was growling like an overly-protective Rottweiler. That’s not typical for me. My stomach usually needs a few minutes (or an hour) to warm up to the idea of calories. If you know me, you know I’m not a morning person, but my stomach is even less so. Ordinarily I ease it in with coffee…today, though, I… Read more >

This weekend I relaxed more than I have in a loooooong time. I didn’t exercise. I hardly cooked. To be honest, I pretty much spent the weekend watching the Australian Open, football, and hanging out with Kyle (I did a fair amount of eating as well). If that’s not the picturesque weekend, well, shoot me. I have a TON of photos, but they aren’t very glamorous and don’t require much in the way of explanations…so…without further ado… JAVA the hut Bluffin’ with my muffin How to make quinoa ghetto Afternoon delight(s) YouShake customized “Blended… Read more >

Isn’t it AMAZE how much better 40 degree weather is than 20!?! (200% better to be exact) I have been so happy with this weeks “heat” wave, yesterday I almost felt like running through the streets naked…well, maybe that’s a bit extreme, but I was pleased to say the least. What’s even crazier was the fact that the heaters in my patients’ rooms were cranked up so high that they all had their windows open…and it actually felt nice to have a chilly breeze. What is this? I’m too young for hot flashes, and it’s… Read more >

The days of froth have returned. The holidays are all about decadence right? My morning cups of coffee have been quite elaborate as of late. I think the cold weather brings it out. This one was less than 50% coffee. The rest was cocoa powder, stevia, coconut milk “creamer” froth, and a partridge in a pear tree candy cane. YUM-AY I also had a cup of Chai tea. In case you haven’t noticed, I’m obsessed with Chai tea lately. It probably has more to do with the way it warms me up than anything else… Read more >
