…you make mango salsa! And by “life” I mean “your fiancé’s stepmom” and by “hands you” I mean “you come home and find out you’re been gifted about eight sorta-sour mangoes and you’re not sure how to use it all up.” I looked up a few recipes for mango salsa but didn’t really see anything [...]

Perspective on Slow-Going Goals
Hi! For those of you buried in snow…sorry about that. Must be a bummer. Not that I would know. I really really have to go work on my final project for my intersession class…AKA a 15-minute speech with no slides, no notes, nothing! So intimidating. It’s funny because I can be on TV for work, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Housewarning Apple Crisp
Happy Monday! Ok, I lie. Mondays suck. At least this one is over. The next 5 weeks are going to be crazy for me…I just need to make it through unscathed and I will be a happy camper. I had a few people ask me about the program I mentioned in my last post. If [...]
Weighing In and Eating (Peachy) Waffles
I can’t believe I’ve been doing my bootcamp program for a month! Honestly, I’m ready for it to be over, but I haven’t reached my goals yet, so I’ll keep on trucking. I’m having trouble dealing with the fact that my eating plan goes against many of my personal beliefs about food/hunger/losing weight, etc. But [...]
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 [...]
Banana-Mango Green Smoothie, Please!
As part of Project Eat All the Costco Spinach, I decided to make green smoothies for breakfast this week. I used the basic “Green Monster” recipe that Angela at Oh She Glows has made so very popular. And it’s popular for a reason: they taste great and I really did feel healthy starting my day [...]
Perfect Chocolate Strawberries: A Guide
A few weeks ago, I made chocolate-covered strawberries for a Passover Seder. These strawberries are yummy, not too unhealthy (as desserts go), romantic, and not to mention, EASY. Whenever I’ve made these, people are really impressed, which is funny considering it’s two ingredients and about 15 minutes of little effort. But hey, I’ll take all [...]
Family Camping Adventure, Completed!
I’m back to civilization! We spent a lovely night camping, spending time together, oh and eating and drinking, of course! I definitely overate, but it was all delicious and “worth it.” I know I’m not the only one who overdid it this weekend, right? I am looking forward to lots of healthy eats and toxin-eliminating [...]
