Did you know Wednesday was National Running Day!? Step aside hump day, you have been replaced. Good thing I had the day off work, so I could get a nice exercise sesh in (in honor of the holiday, of course). No work = extra zzzzs. So I definitely slept in. YES! As I sipped my frothy coffee, I caught up on all the critical news (like the happs in J+K+8 and the crazies from the Jerz) – I’m soooo worldly. I went old school with breakfast…oats were my first love, and no amount of time… Read more >

Soul II Soul anyone? HA! OK, but seriously, I am sorry I’ve been MIA. Turns out, my computer was not pleased with me, and decided to take it out on the power cord… I guess that thing is supposed to be straight, not stuck at a 45 degree angle? Nothing $50 and an overnight express order can’t fix… Good thing I have my own personal Geek squad member Kyle to diagnose such problems! Soooo, YEA! I’m baaack! WooHoo! I missed you all! I have a lot to catch up on, too. Although, to be fair,… Read more >

Froth-a-licious! It was a VERY berry morning. Strawberry chobz + even more strawberries. These were the Arnold Schwarzenegger of strawberries. They were SO huge, I think I only needed 4 to fill the bowl to the brim! See!! Massive! For lunch, I made a Philly NY cheese steak seitan wrap…yeahhhhh, my version has nada to do with the greasy, cheesy, meaty dish made famous by the city of brotherly love. Oddly enough though, seitan with veggie slices kinda reminds me of the artery clogging sammie (as gross as that is to admit). Fortunately, my wrap… Read more >

Because yesterday’s post prompted such passionate and wonderful comments (I love you guys!!!), I’d like to post my response, just in case some people don’t check follow up answers in the comment section. This is just such a great discussion matter… First off, can I just say how PROUD I am of the responses I have gotten on this issue, not just as a (self proclaimed) foodie, but as a female in general! You all are absolutely right, it can be a slippery slope from checking portion sizes to obsessively counting each and every calorie… Read more >

I thought the phrase was “April showers…” but apparently not. Gotta love the Bay Area. I felt like I was in New York because we had a non-stop drizzle the whole weekend interspersed with some serious downpour action. Saturday we woke up extremely early (again) for no reason other than lack of time zone adjustment. Since I was already up, I had a bowl of frothy coffee and a vanilla greek yog. Then I did some errands with my pops, which took all of 5 minutes, but still earned me a coffee from Peet’s. That got… Read more >
