Sometimes I’m a walking contradiction. Case in point: nuts are not my thing, nut butters on the other hand, are TOTALLY my thing. I am not very vocal about my distaste for nuts, because, well, frankly, it’s a bit embarrassing in this food blog community. But today, I broke out of my shell (pun intended) and had my first nut milk experience. **A HUGE thanks to everyone who commented with recommendations on my previous post about non-milk milks.** As for the almond milk…It was…interesting? I can’t even think of any way to describe it. Definitely… Read more >

Shocker of all shockers…I actually had work today, I know, I know, you all forgot I even HAD a job because I’ve had so many consecutive days off… Naturally I packed all my goodies the night before in my re-re-recycled containers (once a hippie, always a hippie).

AM Montage: frothy java, chobz, & coconut date rolls I went on a supah long run in the Park before… Read more >

I spent most of today outside, so my food pictures will be fewer than usual. But that’s a good thing. It means SUNSHINE! I woke up crazy early (thanks for that 6:55 am text Jess) and enjoyed some frothy java before heading to the gym. I like getting my workouts done early when the weather is awesome…plus Jess and I had an appointment at Jenny Yoo to get to. [insert 4 miles on the elliptical here] After the gym I showered, beautified, and chowed down the above brunch while trying not to get peanut butter… Read more >
