I’ve been craving chocolate lately. I’m not craving sweets, but I’m craving chocolate. I added a heaping tablespoon of dark chocolate powder in my oatmeal bowl and it turned into this black bowl of oats. Halloween color bowl? I added shredded coconut, granola and nuts to the bowl and had myself a healthier version of […]
We had a fun and very busy weekend. I hope you had a fun weekend too. I’m a creature of habit. I love structures and routine so I don’t mind Mondays too much because that’s the beginning of our weekly routine. My Monday morning gym routine –> 35 minutes HIIT treadmill workout. Done! Breakfast was […]
I am trying to consume less coffee these days and I’m trying it out first with starting out the process by drinking coffee every other morning. On days I don’t drink coffee, I brew myself a huge pot of black tea and drink it throughout the day. I’m currently using Tazo Awake (black tea). I […]
Happy Wednesday to you all 🙂 The weather has been cool around here so I find myself craving hot food and savory foods. Of course, I always make room for treats with a side of tea. Here goes this weeks eats… I made a batch of these Coconut {Chickpea} Waffles this past weekend and I’ve been eating […]
It has been awhile since I’ve made muffins. So long that I forgot the last time I made them and searched the blog and see the last time I used my muffin tin. Can I just say how great it is to use keywords and search for certain things that have happened in your life […]

Note from the future: My appetite is definitely back now that I am well into my 2nd trimester. I am still craving salty food. Here’s the journal I wrote about the food I ate during the first few months of pregnancy. I would consider my morning sickness mild, but it was still rough to […]
I hardly make soup for dinner, probably because there is a short window of time when it’s cold here in SoCal and when soup sounds appetizing, and also because I don’t like eating soup leftovers. Well, the first week of January was pretty cold, there was ice on my windshield a few times and consecutive […]
I re-organized my closet and put back only items that I’m currently loving. I noticed that the colors that made it back in the closet had similar color scheme. I am loving neutral colors with lots of blue, grey and stripes. A lot of the tops and bottoms all matches with each other. So even […]
re-committing to writing my “currently” posts weekly. I will look back at these posts years later and really glad that I have some documentation of this stage in life. I was looking at archives from 2 years ago and was a little dissapointed that I hardly wrote about our weekly shenanigans celebrating my birthday […]
Summer is here, or at least that’s how it feels like the last few days. The weather is so beautiful today, and because I am working on a holiday, I feel like am missing out. I should be outside having a picnic or frolicking at the beach. I had a very fun weekend hiking at […]
Here are some of my favorite things lately: Canyon Bakehouse Gluten Free Bread – I eat this bread toasted and then put half of an avocado on top with a little sprinkling of salt most mornings. I eat half before I workout and then eat the other half with my eggs after working out. […]
In 98 days, I will be running the inaugural Disneyland Tinker Bell Half Marathon. My first and only half marathon race so far was in December 2009 at the inaugural Rock N Roll Las Vegas. I wanted to stay local this time around. I couldn’t be more excited to be training for a race that […]
My nephew Jonah is now a 1-year-old big boy. He had a party and we celebrated Sesame Street style. The birthday boy was in a celebratory mood. Look at how happy he looks here 🙂 We all signed a huge birthday card for him….something he can read and enjoy once he is old enough to […]
