pb {& banana} snack muffins.

05.30.2011

Two things I always have in my kitchen: 1) bananas and 2) peanut butter. I can have one without the other, but the combination of the two is something you can’t reckon with. The pair of flavors and textures is comforting, energizing, filling, sweet and slightly salty. I crave it all hours of the day, [...]

ode to yoga.

05.23.2011

{vegan} almond apricot quinoa muffins.

11 days.

05.07.2011

My mom keeps me on track. Today I woke up to an e.mail from my dear mother: “wow – 11 days without posting – is that a record?” My BFF also observed my pause in posting as she wrote on my Facebook wall Wednesday: “you haven’t blogged in days? what’s up!?” Blogging isn’t fitting into [...]
