About me update?

So I’ve been thinking. At first I was going to maybe update my “about me” section, but it’s hard to write about yourself out of the blue without any prompts.  So then I figured why not just ask you guys what you want to know.  I’m fairly open about my life on my blog, but who doesn’t like a good Q&A sesh, right?  Feel free to hit me up with questions and I’ll compose a post with the answers in a few days when I get back to normal after my West Coast holiday.  It’ll… Read more >

91 Thanksgiving posts

Happy (belated) Thanksgiving! Quite frankly, I delayed writing this post because I felt like everyone else’s thanksgiving eats were way more blog-worthy (and there were a LOT of them).  Plus, I didn’t get home from work until after 8 pm and all I wanted to do at that point was put on my PJs, watch football (slash Home Alone), and stuff my face (not in that order).  On a holiday such as this, it would feel weird to eat before giving thanks, and so I feel as though I should acknowledge what I’m grateful for… Read more >

What cute packaging!  In addition to the t-shirt, temporary tattoos, and tiki mug, the package included four bars: Tiki Blueberry Flax, Tribal Cinnamon Oatmeal, Island… Read more >

A full lunch hour

This morning’s subway commute was eerily empty.  It always creeps me out a bit when there is nobody else in the car with me.  But then, I guess it’s better than being packed in the train like a can of sardines… Munchables for the day: Apple, dried papaya/pears, 365 spelt pretzels, PB&J dipped MoJo bar, Honey Graham Z bar, and un ensalada enorme. Work was nice and slow.  Happiness!  I love it when I get a full hour lunch break.  I enjoyed each and every bite of my packed eats. I even got off work… Read more >

Tutorial: Spaghetti squash

Being squash season, it was only a matter of time until a big ‘ol spaghetti squash found it’s way to my kitchen. The first time I made this manned up enough to hack into this bada$$, I was more than a bit nervous.  I kept seeing all these gorgeous pictures of perfectly cooked stringy spaghetti squash throughout the blog world, but never really understood what exactly I was supposed to do to get there.  Fortunately, I pieced together a game plan…and got a pretty decent yield.  This time around I felt like an old pro,… Read more >
