New shades & raw food

Just a typical morning bowl of oatmeal. The weird part about this breakfast was how I picked around the nuts.  I don’t know why, but I wasn’t in to them this morning.  The cinnamon and maple syrup were all the topping I needed.   After breakfast I set to work on mega errands.  Our laundry needed to be done immediately (our clothes reeked of smoke from our weekend away).  On top of that we had dirty dishes, an empty fridge, a thirsty tomato plant, and much much more.  To do list, game on.  Eventually, I… Read more >

Wedding, Beach & Tennis

What a weekend. It all started with a Friday wedding. Ok, actually it all started with a really awesome breakfast.   Oats topped in a perfectly fried egg and avocado. Kyle came home from work early, so I got to eat lunch with him, which was a nice change in routine. I had Amy’s golden lentil soup.  It was stellar!  I have already gone to the store to get another can, that’s how much I loved it.  I think this is now the best Amy’s soup I’ve ever tried. On the side I had carrots… Read more >

Professional weekending

I woke up Saturday sooo excited. a) Friends in town!  Hooray!! b) Golfing date! c) A non-work weekend!  Finally!! [Whoa exclamation points] You probably can’t tell the volume of Earth Balance in either of these photos, but since the bread was home-made it soaked it all up like a sponge.  There was probably a quarter of a cup of butter.  Pretty awesome, huh. Golfing snacks.  I only ate the apple.  9 holes later we all headed back to Santa Monica for some brunch.  Zengo was packed, but we eventually got a table for 9 (in… Read more >

It’s not delivery…

It’s pick-up. Since publishing my book, I’ve been rather lazy in the cooking department.  Home-made eats have been at an all time low.  Our kitchen is sad, I’m sure, but I’m enjoying the time off. Anyway, when delivery.com asked me if I’d like to try out their service (with a $10 off voucher) I said sure!  It was the perfect excuse (not that I need justification for getting take-out). I’d been craving Thai food for a while, so I entered our address and “thai” and immediately Thai Dishes popped up.  Perfect!  It was on my… Read more >

Sabra Adventure [part 1]

Did you read this post?  Did you guess where I was earlier this week? I can still hardly believe it myself. Imagine being completely obsessed with a product (for years!) and then finding out you get to fly across the country to tour the factory.  And try the about-to-be-launched flavors.  And learn about what they have planned for the future. Think about it.  I mean really think about it. Could you ever!?!? I had to pinch myself throughout the entire trip. You see, I’ve adored Sabra from it’s infancy and made it very well known. … Read more >
