I can’t remember the last time I had a “Green Monster” smoothie. There was a period over the summer where it was simply too hot to have anything but a big frozen smoothie for breakfast. Well, that time passed quickly and my blender has been untouched since. I felt like death when Truffle woke me [...]
I know it’s only Thursday, but I am already excited for Sunday. While I was at work yesterday I received a special e-mail from my dad: “Hot Feet run in the morning, then cold brews in the afternoon.” YES PLEASE! I was having a crazy day so his message was really appreciated. I spent much [...]

Sides: ~3/4 cup blueberries & cherries with mint. Pecan Cinnamon Raisin Sourdough (toasted at work, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
HAPPY 4th of July! I’m SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad that I came home! I had the BEST sleep last night in my air-conditioned room. I even slept in for once in my life. Sunday+Home= Dad’s Breakfast Kitchen. On the menu: 3 egg white omelet with goat cheese, spinach, mushrooms and tomatoes topped of with more goat cheese, [...]
Happy Smoothie Friday!! I thought a Green Monster would be an appropriate way to end my week of breakfast tributes. Many food blogs have inspired me to try this and the variations are endless. That is what I love about the food blog community; the wealth of health and food knowledge and the variety. With [...]
It was another smoothie Friday this morning, mostly because I’m going home (I know AGAIN…there is a barrel tasting at a local winery that I HAVE to go to haha) and had to finish off some spinach. But check out that photo…where’s the granola? You would never know from this picture but there is a [...]
Well sort of… Good Morning! Good Morning! Good Morning! I am a ball of energy today (clearly) and it’s all because I started off on the right foot. I was wide awake at 5:45am and it was a lovely 64 degrees out. I decided to take advantage of the peaceful morning and go for a [...]
