I have so many recipes bookmarked for this holiday season (mostly cookies and desserts) that I don’t think I’ll have time to bake and cook them all. I guess it’s ok to make holiday cookies in the Spring right? December is full of holiday parties and I am surrounded with indulgent desserts, delicious party food, […]
We’ve had beautiful weather around here. I am enjoying it while it lasts. Heard there’s a storm coming soon. Admiring the last of the ripe oranges. They are sour though 😦 And enjoying the last of the beautiful plumerias. It might be the last bloom until next season. My mother-in-law gave us a few plumeria […]
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 […]
When it’s raining and dreary outside, seeing your tropical vacation pictures help brighten things up. I wanted to do a twist on my What I Ate Wednesday posts. To continue my wedding recap, here is What-I-Ate wedding day edition. I got a lot of advice from people on what to eat on my wedding day. I […]
It was a scorcher today and I wished I could have eaten ice cream for all my meals, but alas, I need nutrition so ice cream will have to wait, maybe for dessert later. Lets get straight to it…these are my eats for today. I had a soupy oat bowl today, I was a little […]

I am going to be the godmother for my nephew Jonah when he is baptized next month. I got to hangout with him this past weekend during the mandatory seminar for the baptism. Since the last time I saw him, he has learned to have a strong grip, including my hair. Ouch. This weekend, Chris created a […]
(this picture has nothing to do with my list, except I wanted to take a picture of the current popular books while at Costco) Currently I am in the season of life where I am loving reading more than anything else. I want to read more than I want to watch TV and I look […]
The last few weeks I have enjoyed the fresh harvest of pomegranates. I was picked by POM Wonderful as 1 of 100 to host a POM Party in celebration of the pomegranate harvest season. Fresh pomegranates are available only from September to January, but the delicious, nutrient-rich juice is obtainable year-round. I have been eating, […]
I’ve been looking forward to this weekend for awhile. It’s my first three day holiday weekend off since I started a new role with my work. I started the weekend being active meeting friends for a hike. Running outdoors is sooooo much better than running on the treadmill. I’ll take trail running any day. The […]
Palm Springs is one of our favorites places to visit. We have visited it at least once every year in the last few years. We visited it twice this year already. Depending on the season, we tailor different activities during our visit. Our little guy loves to wander around zoos, parks and playgrounds. We love […]
There is something in the air that made me crave rich and thick soup for dinner tonight. Oh, I think it has something to do with the cooler weather and early sunsets and that fall is here. I get off work later than most people and currently have a long commute home. Most nights I […]
Christmas was sweet and simple this year (well, as simple as we can get it), just what I was hoping for. There were plenty of festive things I wanted to do that didn’t happen, but that’s ok, next year I just have to plan better. Something that I decided last minute was our holiday card […]
What took me so long to post a salad recipe in January? I mean, are we all detoxing from the sugar rush of last year’s holiday season? I know I am. I’m still trying to kick the habit of eating sweets every afternoon, even if it’s a mini-size chocolate treat. I find that if I […]
