We are surviving the move. Well, at least Truffle has been having a blast. She plays in the jungle of boxes and bags and then promptly falls asleep.She’s the same size as my candle! Yesterday, my parents met me around noon and we got down to business. By 9pm everything was out of my old [...]
I was VERY thankful to be in an air-conditioned office building all day. It was about 97 degrees and humid. Not. Good. When I left work today I knew that I needed a game plan. There was no way I would have survived if I went directly back to my sauna like apartment for the [...]
Tonight’s dinner forecast called for pasta with overcast vegetables and periods of goat cheese. I think I would make a great weather girl…just kiiidddiinnnnggg. The weather often impacts the food I crave….probably more than it should. The light wind and mild temperatures today reminded me of the fall, and what says fall like a hearty [...]
Sometimes I feel like a mathematician in the kitchen. I get the music going, pour myself a glass of wine, and let the equations roll. (Isn’t this the way mathematicians operate?) For example: one single girl + one jar of chunky marinara sauce = infinite meal possibilities. Just when I thought I reached my dinner [...]
I’m not sure what was up with my hunger today but I was ravenous by mid-morning. Luckily, I brought my last Larabar with me to work. Hello Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Larabar , welcome to my world. Ingredients: Dates, Peanuts, Chocolate Chips (unsweetened chocolate, sugar, cocoa butter and vanilla)*Fair Trade Certified, Salt I have a [...]
It’s luxury snack time! Hump Day just doesn’t seem that bad when you have a GREAT snack in hand . Yesterday when I was debating which Larabar to try first, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough had an “eenie meenie-minie-mo” victory over Carrot Cake. I had to try this bar next. I haven’t always been a carrot [...]
I think it is pretty clear that I have a snack bar obsession: Exhibit A. Larabar is among my favorite (my collection is fairly Larabar centered). I love their products because they are all natural, wholesome, satisfying and delicious! I always feel like I am treating myself to something special when I eat Larabar products. [...]
The last post was actually written on Friday but I was unable to post it because my internet connection was failing and my battery died. I had work all day at the bakery on Saturday, so I’m trying to play catchup with my post. Friday Post: I’m not sure how, but I woke up this [...]
I woke up this morning with a fresh perspective, both literally and figuratively. I want to thank everyone who responded to the “frustrations” I demonstrated in my last post. Your support and words mean more than you know. When life gets hard/confusing it is easy for us to doubt ourselves and the fresh perspective and [...]
On Wednesday morning, I woke up to sunshine, a blue sky and mild temperature in NYC. My dad and I enjoy running, so we took advantage of the rare weather conditions, and ventured out to Central Park. In such a crazy and busy city, this plot of land provides some serenity. It was absolutely beautiful. [...]
