Hey all! I’m waiting for my salad maker to finish prepping before dinner (I made an attempt to “Healthy Twist”-ify pulled pork again, and I think the meat still going to be dry but at least we have Mitch’s amazing homemade BBQ sauce to compensate) so I thought I’d show you some highlights from last [...]

Back Back in Cali Cali
Vacation over. Sad face. Although…I get to come home to San Diego so I can’t complain ever too much.
Thanks to all my amazing guest bloggers! I left you with some good stuff, huh?
Boston was lovely, the yoga retreat was very zen, and over it was great to step outside my normal routine and “check [...]
New Jam, New Fruit, and Friendly Farmers
Remember yesterday? Man, seems like a long time ago, huh? I asked for guesses on what was in my breakfast (other than the obvious cereal yogurt, flax):
Well, it wasn’t sweet and sour sauce or ketchup, but this gem I picked up on Monday and I went with my bestie Cara on a day trip to [...]
Veggie and Vitamin-filled Dinner
Tonight’s dinner was so good, I’m posting it even though my photos, well, suck.
(I really think I need a new camera, but also the lighting in my condo is terrible. I need to do more experimenting with lighting…and learn how to take photos! I think my blog will be 100% better if I can improve [...]
This Girl Can Grill
I did something MONUMENTAL the other day.
Something that I’ve never done before.
And now, I feel like an empowered female. Hear me roar and all that.
What did I do, you wonder? I ventured onto our balcony and had a date with this guy:
Our really dirty grill! This is a big deal for me because [...]
Return of Seasonal Sections: Cantaloupe
It’s been awhile since I’ve done one of my Seasonal Selections posts, because I wasn’t sure if people liked them or not. I’ve decided, though, that I liked looking up the information and putting it together, so hopefully a few readers find it interesting/useful as well. Plus, as we head into summer, we’ve been getting [...]
Pre-Vacation Soup Making
By the time you read this, I’ll be in Palm Springs! I’m hoping the trip is a really nice mix of activity (between the golf course, tennis court, pool, and gym), relaxation, and fun foods/drinks. Mitch’s dad and his wife are being so gracious in treating us to this lovely (and I might add, NEEDED) [...]
Seasonal Selections: Awesome Asparagus
Awesome Asparagus
Photo credit (since I accidentally deleted my photos. I don’t how this is only the first time I’ve done that): http://www.assuredproduce.co.uk/ap/consumers/producelibrary.aspx?id=140470
Before I joined a CSA, I had only had asparagus once before. I worked at a hotel in college, and one night they made cream of asparagus soup in the restaurant. It was NASTY, [...]
Seasonal Selections: Boy Choy, Baby
Boy choy is yet another vegetable that I don’t think I ever would have cooked or purchased if not for my lovely CSA. I’m sure I’ve eaten in as part of Chinese take-out, but I always skip right past the cabbage section at the grocery store. In fact, when I first received this veggie [...]
Spazzy Pad Thai and CSA Rundown
I got a great bunch of produce today! Every week when I pick it up, I wonder how I’m ever going to finish all that produce. And most of the time, I manage to run out just before it’s time to get my next batch. Starting next week, my friend and I are splitting it [...]
