Let the Baking Begin!

December 18, 2009

I’m never really sure why I bake during the holidays. There are already so many sweets, cookies, cakes, and breads lying around my office tempting me to eat them.  But, tis the season, I guess.
I got this recipe for Ginger Twist Gingerbread (say that five times fast standing on your head) from Mighty Leaf Tea [...]

Miso Shirataki Noodle Soup with Oyster Mushrooms

December 7, 2009

This weekend was especially busy with holiday parties, 20 mile runs and a much needed apartment clean up.  By Sunday evening, I was pooped and ready for a good hot meal and some zoning out in front of the TV.
Since we had no food in the house, we decided to make a trip to our [...]

No Leftovers Found Here

December 4, 2009

While some of you were probably eating Thanksgiving leftovers all last weekend (and maybe even still this week), Bryan and I were driving up  101 and enjoying a meal at Santa Barbara’s The Natural Cafe.  What can I say, we’re a couple of dirty vegetable eating crazies.
Our first course consisted of some local red Santa [...]

Kombucha is Love

December 3, 2009

I’m obsessed with Kombucha. Completely and totally obsessed. It got to the point where I was drinking it almost every day and spending between $4.00-$6.00 on a bottle of either  GT’s Organic Gingerade or Kombucha Wonder Drink Asian Pear and Ginger (this one tends to be a little harder to find).
Finally, my prayers were answered [...]

Anyone who knows me well, knows I am completely obsessed with my morning smoothies. I just have to have one.  No matter how much time I have to get out the door, I almost always will make time for my smoothie.  Sometimes they are simple — a banana, choco infused Amazing Grass Amazing Meal, some [...]

Two Stepping My Way Through Texas!

November 20, 2009

I’ve been a total slacker on the blog front this week but that’s only because work took over my life. My crazyness started on Monday on my return home from Amarillo, Texas where we had the most delightful girl’s weekend with my grandma for her big birthday. I’m not allowed to display her age online [...]

Toot, Toot!

November 11, 2009

I’ve learned that there are certain times in life when you have to toot your own horn. Even if the thought of broadcasting your awesomeness turns your stomach in knots and makes you so nervous that pit stains start to form, there are certain things that deserve to be shouted from every rooftop, every Facebook [...]

Quick & Easy Yoga Night Dinner

November 10, 2009

Since last night was a yoga night, Bryan and I had a quick, healthy dinner using the pinto beans we made over the weekend, a little tofu, bean sprouts and some tortillas to make wraps. The key was really the sauce - I have been having so much fun trying different recipes for yogurt [...]

Cabbage Salad Slaw

November 10, 2009

I’m not sure if this is cabbage salad or cole slaw but who cares - for the sake of this post, its cabbage salad slaw. This was one of those “a little of this and little of that” kind of recipes - no real plan - just kind of threw things in as I [...]
