Remember when I said that I’ve abandoned oatmeal as my breakfast of choice? Well, that’s still the case. The very thought of it is turning me off. The thought of the plain, wholesome taste of Morning O’s (Cheerio’s, Whole Foods style) in a bowl of cold almond milk, however, is what makes me rush home … Continue reading »
The best part about fights is when you make up afterwards, right? To be completely honest, I don’t really have much experience with fighting/making up because Chris and I don’t really ever fight. I”m serious. We’re pretty good at talking rationally with each other and I don’t think I could ever bring myself to say … Continue reading »
Do you ever wonder how you could get more chocolate into your life? It’s a thought that crosses my mind often. It’s right up there with “I wonder what the new season of Arrested Development will be like?” (Answer: If it’s anything like the first 3 seasons, it will totally rock my world) and “Is … Continue reading »
Do you ever hold onto things in your life that are not useful to you? Perhaps it is a pair of jeans that you no longer wear, but keep because at one point, they looked really great. Maybe it’s the closet, full of baseball cards you’re holding onto because they might be worth something someday. … Continue reading »

This one gets stuck in my head more than any other word I can think of right now (Weird Fact: It is usually James Franco’s voice saying … Continue reading »

My relationship with grapefruit has come a long way. There’s no nice way of saying this, but I used to detest grapefruit. When I joined a CSA, they started sending me different varieties of grapefruit, and I forced myself to use them. I soon found that if you put them in salads, along with a … Continue reading »
Ever since chia seeds became uber-popular, all I think of when I hear their name is those silly Chia Pets. My brain rarely lets me just say “chia” with out it being preceded with the old commercial jingle. I apologize for being obnoxious. I could tell you that I created this granola because I wanted … Continue reading »
Growing up, my parents never told me what the ice cream man was because they didn’t want me running into the street every time I saw him. They also probably didn’t want me always begging for ice cream. Either way, up until the age of 9 or 10, I always thought the ice cream man … Continue reading »
I am on spring break! Or, my stepkids are, rather, and I am lucky enough to be able to hang with them while they enjoy their week off. My favorite spring breaks were when I was in college. I never did the hard-core, crazy partying at some tropical beach town. I was never seen on … Continue reading »
Chris likes to have a big bowl of cereal (preferably of the clustered granola variety) for breakfast. I’m more of an oatmeal gal, myself. Brunch, however, is a different story.
