I’ve only ever cooked wheatberries twice in my life. The first was rather recently for a KERF recipe, Roasted Root Vegetable Wheatberry Salad. When my mom mentioned she made a strawberry wheatberry salad with fresh mint and goat cheese a la Giada, I found the recipe online within nano seconds. With a basket of farmers’ [...]

sweat it out.

07.23.2011

After 16 sips of Sierra Nevada beer and a stack of “sinful” blueberry + peach puree cornmeal pancakes, I was ready to cleanse my body from my indulgences this afternoon. I was so so stuffed from this morning’s carbs & caffeine, that I had to wait until almost 5:00pm before I felt my food was [...]

07.23.2011

The “sinful” eating continuing bright and early this morning at a local breakfast spot, Sin of Cortez. To start, I ordered a large glass of caffeine in the way of iced of coffee with non-fat milk. It hit the spot, as it was already reaching 80F by 8:30am. The menu was Nutrition Nut approved, with [...]

16 sips of summerfest.

07.22.2011

The infamous Sierra Nevada Brewing Company is in my backyard, literally. If you’re new to town, the hoppy scent is unfamiliarly pungent; though, you quickly get accustomed to Chico’s unique perfume. Of the many bustling Friday nights that I’ve dined at the brewery’s taproom and restaurant, I’ve never ordered the flight of beer. With my [...]

negatives to positives.

07.18.2011

Happy Monday, y’all! I’ve enjoyed reading your responses to my race rant review about the half-marathon… that wasn’t. There’s really no point in dwelling on the disappointment because it’s a done deal. As with many things in life, focusing on the positives (like finishing 5th out of 70 in my age group) is a better [...]
