Overnight success

Such a productive day!  First and foremost, I set up a job interview (hooray!), so…yeah.  There’s that.  But in addition to my latest career progress, I tackled more things on my to-do list and ate some amazing meals. The night before bed I threw together a tupperware full of overnight oats.  I know I’ve mentioned it before, but I do like my oats raw.  When I was young I ate Quaker’s packets with milk like cold cereal.  I guess today’s overnight oats are just the more nutritious version… I wonder how long 2 1/2 pounds… Read more >

Krav Magic

I went to bed sooo late last night because I was waiting for Kyle to finish his homework (yes, he has homework).  Too bad for me that didn’t end up being until 1 am.  I wasn’t too concerned because, hey, it’s not like I have a job or anything.  But instead of sleeping in and regaining those lost hours, I was up and at ‘em at 7:30.  😡 6 hours of sleep?  Meh.  Not bad, but not a routine I want to roll with all the time.  The early rise and shine did give me… Read more >

Cheater soup

Cheater cheater pumpkin potato eater. Last week my cousin posted a recipe that looked both tasty and vegan-izable, so I starred it and saved it for a rainy day.  Ok, a cloudy day…this is LA after all, not New York.  Yesterday was that day…only I had very few of the ingredients on hand.  No matter, I subbed like a pro and wound up with a totally different (but still very tasty) dish. It took very little time since I cheated every step of the way, but trust me, cutting corners never tasted so good.  I… Read more >

Sprout salad

First things first, the randomly chosen Zevia giveaway winner is… #59 – Danielle When we were little kids, my cousin and I used to think it was hysterical to put fake ice cubes (the ones with the spiders inside) in people’s glasses of soda!
