I know Independence wasn’t official until the 4th, but for the sake of my blogging and working schedule, I’m pretending America was born this Friday. Ya dig? On that note, what’s a 4th of July celebration without burgers? Vegan black bean/quinoa burgers of course! Kyle was on a flight to CA, so I had the day off with no agenda whatsoever, so I decided to spend some time cooking. I’ll be working the next 3 days in a row (Sat/Sun/Mon) so I wanna get stocked up to minimize (eliminate) my dinner prep. I’ve been wanting… Read more >

Now that’s it’s “summer” we have been sleeping with the bedroom windows open, but the thunder and lightning were so INSANE last night, I had to channel my inner Von Trapp and sing “My Favorite Things” to calm myself down…it was scary! It woke me up it was so loud. And just so you know, normally I sleep like a rock, so this was no joke. Clearly I had a rough night’s sleep – enter coffee 🙂 These are a few of my favorite things… Peach chobz (not as good as blueberry) and a bowl… Read more >

I have no clue why, but my appetite was out of control today. It was as if I ran a marathon and couldn’t seem to get in enough kcals to replenish. The only problem: I didn’t run a marathon. In fact, I didn’t exercise Sat or Sun because I worked (12 hour shifts are not conducive to gym-ing). I never really pay attention to balancing calories on days I exercise, even if I have really intensely active days, because typically my body tells me what to do. If my tummy wants more, I give it… Read more >

Up at 5. Out the door in under 30. Not a record, but not too shabby either. I got to downtown way earlier than usual, so the bucks wasn’t open yet (eek!)…good thing I had Bruno’s to the rescue. I’ve raved before, so my love for this tiny place is no secret, a small steamy coffee turned that frown upside down 🙂 Here’s my latest read. I heart David Sedaris! Makes the loss of express trains on the weekends somewhat tolerable. I managed to avoid the local trains today, so all was good. Anyways, I… Read more >

I love summer Fridays because Kyle has half days…that said, it’s useless when the weather is this crappy. Nothing but gray skies and pitter patter all day long. Boo hoo. Coffee – check! Kyle was a little noisy this morning, so I was up early (read: too early)…which is why coffee was froth-ified and breakfast was on the GRANDE side (as far as AM eating goes). I was craving fruit in a may-jerrrrrr way, so in addition to the plate heaped with pineapple, watermelon, strawberries, and grapes, I had a blueberry Chobz with raisins. Hit.the.spot…. Read more >
