Rain, Rain…that didn’t go away. I spent all morning staring out the window hoping, PRAYING that the rain would stop. I ate some watermelon, the second half of my banana from breakfast and finally lost all hope for getting a run in today. I showered, read (cookbooks) and did some paperwork until lunch time. The [...]

Orecchiette: Fun to say and fun to eat. Orecchiette, Sun-dried Tomatoes, Spinach in a Goat/Parmesan Cheese Sauce with a glass of Pinot Noir When I had cable (sad fact: I no longer have access to the Foodnetwork), I saw Giada De Laurentiis make a pasta dish similar to this. It is simple and light. Perfect [...]

Day number 2 I made it out for a run!! WOOH! I love morning runs. I never feel rushed or “competitive”. I run a comfortable distance at my own pace. It’s the most peaceful thing I do for myself. I had a few bites of cereal before heading out and made a Jolly Green Breakfast [...]
Happy Wednesday!! I some how woke up in time for a pre-breakfast banana and run! I’m fully armed and ready to conquer this hump day with a little bit of sunshine. Overnight oats, topped with sunflower seed butter in my sunshine-yellow flower bowl (say that 5 times fast). It’s going to be a good day. [...]
After an interesting day of food yesterday, today was back to the same-old-same-old. Breakfast was a creamy, scrumptious bowl of overnight oatmeal. Overnight: 1/2 cup raw oatmeal, cinnamon, vanilla extract, 1/2 chopped banana, 1/2 TBS chia seeds, 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk. Morning: ~1/3 cup Chobani Plain Greek Yogurt, handful of blueberries raspberries and sunflower [...]
I felt like a little kid on Halloween today at the Farmer’s Market with my eco-friendly reusable shopping tote slung over my shoulder. I get a little hyper and excited around fresh produce and homemade baked goods. No shame. Among other things purchased by my parents, my small stash included: fava beans, cherries, Pecan Cinnamon [...]
I hate to pull a fast one on all of you, however; I did not eat the Orange-Ginger Siggi’s I posted about last night. Long story short, I finished the fruit salad and as I was about to hit post and open my Siggi’s, a PhD student from Uzbekistan sat down at my table and [...]
I’m convinced that I belong in France. The land if bread, cheese and wine…I could live off that . During my personal picnic dinner last night (*ahem* lame) I kept alternating between bites of my caprese baguette and berries. It made my heart sing. For lunch (or dinner….I packed 2 meals and can’t decide what [...]
