Countdown to Cabo

Woo hoo! Only 2 days ‘til I’m relaxing in warm and sunny Cabo San Lucas (well, technically only one day, since I leave tomorrow).  Vacay here I come!  Not that I’m living the rough life right now…vacation is vacation.  So even if I am holed up in my shoe box of an apartment (East coast weather…grrrrrrrr) at least I’m not at work, and at least I’m not having to brave the 30 degree weather at 5 am to get there, either.  Phew!  But, after putting in ALL those hours in December, I think I deserve… Read more >

peace, love, and happiness

Are you a hippie, too?  Looks like green living is making a comeback! Side note:  Earlier today I was enjoying my AM dose of mindless television, when a news brief interrupted the program.  Now ordinarily I’d be delighted to hear Obama’s economic words of wisdom, but when they interrupt The View’s green tips…well it takes a bit of the edge off (sorry Mr. President).  Since youtube couldn’t fill in the gaps, I decided to post a few myself (these are kitchen specific).  As I’ve said before, do what you can, even a tiny change can… Read more >

Part of the cool kids club

Today was quite the experimental cooking day.  Lately, I’ve been salivating reading all my fellow bloggers’ delish recipes, not to mention jealous that I haven’t had time to sample the popular dishes on my own!  Desperate to join in on the action and give my own reviews, I grabbed my chef hat and decided to seize the day…  I don’t have Veganomicon, but if all goes well today, I may have to make a trip to Barnes & Noble.  I started cooking in the AM, pretty much right after I woke up.  Okay, actually I… Read more >

Truvia?

Hmmm… Should I be excited or scared.  Truvia (a Stevia derivative) has (finally) been FDA approved!  After reading all about big business and it’s influence on the FDA in Skinny Bitch, it’s hard not to take everything with a grain (or tbsp) of salt.
