Day 365

12.31.2011

Twenty Eleven, Day 365. a 10-mile run, nose-numbing cold creamy banana buckwheat with coconut + pecan butter hot lattes, heated car seats + girl talk high tide, seagulls + a stroll in the damp sand crispy tempura sushi eaten on the couch & buttery dark chocolate cashews I can’t think of a much better way [...]

apricot pistachio oat bars.

12.31.2011

Hello + happy last Saturday of 2011, a.k.a. New Year’s Eve! So, I have one final recipe for the year. Don’t get too excited though. I was considering letting this recipe slip under the radar, but because not all my recipes are Gourmet worthy, I figured I’d still share. You live + you learn… and [...]

2011: a continuous journey.

12.30.2011

Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve (as if you weren’t aware). Hard to believe 2011 is on its way out the door – bye! At the end of 2010, I declared: “Instead of making a bunch of New Year’s resolutions, I want to let 2011 “resolve” me. I’m handing over the control to Life, and am [...]

The dreary winter weather has got me in the mood to bake, but since I am still recovering from my holiday hangover, only nutritious [...]

Hi there, friends! I wanted to pop in this afternoon to announce that I’m now an affiliate of Bella. A few months ago, the company sent me a sample of their bars to try, and I loved them! Though I don’t eat a purely raw diet, I’m all about eating whole foods. With my recent [...]

merry + bright.

12.28.2011

Since I was a little girl, I have always loved decorating our home for the holidays. This year wasn’t any different. I set the table with a rustic, edible arrangement a la mason jars, raffia, fresh cranberries + sweetened coconut. I added a few Christmas tree clippings, some small ornaments, and a sprinkle of sparkly [...]

let go.

12.26.2011

…because life’s too darn short to dwell on the past, stress in the present, or worry about the future. May you let go of the unknown, the what-ifs & hold onto the positive pieces of today.

Well, hello there friends & happy holiday weekend! Santa is on his way, whether you’re ready or not. I am exhausted from today – putting everything in place – but the table is set + the dessert is made (and decadent it is!). I have a long run planned for the morning before tying my [...]

mise en place.

12.23.2011

Mornin’! Merry Christmas Eve Eve. I’ve got a lot going on today – mainly preparing for tomorrow’s dinner that I’m hosting. Time to mise en place (French for “put in place”) the menu, table, and any/all last-minute touches for Sunday morning. Even still, I had a little time for exercise + oatmeal. I hopped on [...]
