On Sunday I broke my coffee-free streak. USVAB almond milk, Wholesome Sweetener organic vanilla agave, cinnamon. Artisana makes the best nutbutter, but it also happens to be the most $$$.  Once this coconut butter is gone (which will be very soon), I will be making my own only.  No room in this hippie’s budget for jars of something I can make on my own for a fraction of the price.  No matter how delicious and convenient it is to purchase. After digesting, I went for a short run, made shorter due to the weather.  It… Read more >

Who gained 5 pounds

Drum roll please… Comment #3 – Greta August 27, 2011 at 3:41 am Hmmm. Since I eat oats for breakfast almost every day, it probably wouldn’t take me that long. A couple of months, perhaps? Maybe three? And then I’m not even counting baking with them… Well, maybe two, then. Congrats Greta! You just gained five pounds.  In a good way.    I hope there’s lots of granola and oatmeal making in your future!  Email me your address so I can get your oats on their way!

TGI…

I worked on Saturday, so my Friday wasn’t really a TGIF kind of day.  To summarize the AM: cereal, bike ride, window shopping.  I had two Turlock multi-grain pitas with hummus for lunch and a veggie burger a la mode.   Hummus gone.  🙁   In terms of fizz KeVita < Synergy, in terms of calories it’s the reverse.  Flavor-wise I go back and forth.  Depends on what I’m in the mood for. Truthfully, all I wanted for dinner was quinoa drenched in Bragg’s liquid aminos, but I decided to up the nutritional profile of… Read more >

Cereal-ly annoying

Since it’s currently a million and four degrees in Los Angeles, our apartment is in the upper billions range (overhead fans don’t do too much).  Stove top oats were definitely not happening and I hadn’t prepped overnight oats, so my Friday morning started with this beaut.  Plain greek yogurt, golden delicious apple, 365 waffle square cereal, peanut butter and cinnamon. I have mentioned my main cereal “issue” before (the inability to finish fewer than four bowls in a single sitting), but I have another one.  I’m not sure if anyone else has this problem, but… Read more >

One year already?

Whoa, where did the time go?   I can’t believe this time last year I was saying “I do” to my best friend…thus embarking on a lifetime of love and laughter. I will spare you all from enduring another post full of wedding photos since you can see them and read the recap(s) here.  But I will share some of the outtakes…   These pics are so much better anyway! Air robot! Group love!   It was hot (I promise I wasn’t peeing my pants dress).  My uncle looks very worried, though. He’s a romantic,… Read more >
