I wanted to try one new restaurant a month, and after trying twice, we finally got out last Friday night and visited Zocalo Grill, which is in Old Town San Diego. Now, Old Town is pretty touristy and the Mexican food is pretty sub-par at most places in the area, but I’d heard really good [...]
Rah Rah for Raw Kale and Running
Good evening! Have you entered my “blog birthday” giveaway yet? There aren’t that many entries, so your chances are pretty good! (Don’t call it a “blogiversary.” I don’t know what but I’m not a fan of the term. I think the two ladies who I share my CSA goodies with are sick of kale, because [...]
My Blog’s One Year Old! (Giveaway post)
Happy Birthday, Healthy Twists! Photo source. Yes, I started this blog one year ago today. I wasn’t sure what exactly I was doing when I wrote my first post, and sometimes I think I still don’t! But I’ve had some great fun, met some awesome bloggers (both through our blogs and some in real life!), [...]
Representing San Diego Left and Right
I freely admit that I am a lucky duck to live in San Diego. It’s no fault of my own really; my parents decided that San Diego was just nicer than Brooklyn so they moved here before I was born (not that I’d be upset to live in NYC, because I have a ridiculous obsession [...]
Not the New Rules of Blondie Baking
As I mentioned, I made blondies for the terribly sad and depressing and I don’t want to talk about it football game on Sunday. And as anything with a stick of butter and a cup of brown sugar would be, they were really, really good. They have the texture of a brownie with the taste [...]
Detox Recap and Another Newman’s Review
So, remember in my last post when I was talking about this detox and how good I was feeling and how it was going to last until Sunday? Umm…as of 2 PM yesterday, the detox is dunzo (yes I know I’m quoting Kristen from the Laguna Beach days…don’t judge). I had a piece of chocolate. [...]
Spur-of-the-Moment Detox Program
How is everyone’s week going? I am going to an open house tomorrow morning for the grad school program I’m interested in, so I’m a little nervous about that BUT I found out of my oldest friends (as in, I’ve known her the longest, she’s my age!) will be there too, so that’s pretty rad. [...]
Caught the Photography Bug Today
Hello there! I was kind of in hiding last week. Well, I was still reading and commenting on your blogs, but I felt uninspired to post anything to mine. So I didn’t. But now I’m back! Today, I took a photography class hosted by my museum. (We do all kinds of programs/classes/lectures and sometimes staff [...]
It’s A New Day
You know that song, “it’s a new dawn, it’s a new day…”? I think it’s from Dreamgirls but I haven’t actually seen the movie so I could be wrong. 2009 was a pretty good year for me, everything sort of stayed status quo but a few noteworthy events did take place (hope so, right!?!) Looking [...]
