You didn’t work on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day? I didn’t really mind it, since I got to celebrate early with my family. On the 24th, I woke up early to sweat out a quick 20 minute Shred, which I followed up with a hearty tupperware full of overnight oats. I used 1/2 cup rolled oats and then mixed in an almost equal portion of canned pumpkin with only an itty bit of water. This created a crazy thick consistency as it “gelled” overnight. Other goodies included Tropical Traditions shredded coconut, dried cherries, and NuNatural liquid… Read more >

Santa was here. Mia was here. And here. [Ewww] Elise was here. 🙂 I know these TJ’s pita chips are called “reduced guilt” but when you eat multiple servings in a row, I think that idea is null and void. Not that I ever really bought into the association of food with guilt. These are a treat for me because I’m way too cheap to buy them myself (eating a family sized bag in one sitting is not economically sound, even if you’re Donald Trump). My parents, on the other hand, have their… Read more >

My parents went to the Cal vs. Kansas basketball game the other night, so I was home alone with my sis and Kyle. Bored, but too tired to do anything that involved changing out of PJs, I randomly decided to bake. My mom always has tons of magazines on hand, including my faves, Bon Appetite and Sunset. I raided the cabinets and pantry… Not too shabby. My parents didn’t have medjool dates…or dried apples…and not very much honey…soooo, yeah, I made quite a few changes to the recipe I was using. Given that the ingredients… Read more >

Happy holidays everyone! It’s Christmas up in here 🙂 I’m working on the 25th, so Santa was nice and obliging and came early this year (this post is from the 21st). To celebrate as a family, we all went to dinner in the city. In spite of the gross weather, we headed into San Francisco early to browse the Ferry Building, check out the tree (in Union Square) and grab some drinks at the famous Harry Denton’s Starlight Room. Views of the Ferry Building… Making our way to Union Square… SF love After soaking… Read more >

On Sunday I worked from 7 am to 7:30 pm and then headed home… I arrived at 1:30 am. Confused? I’m home with the fam! As I mentioned in my last post, Kyle dropped me off at work so that he would have the car all day, and then be able to pick me up after work so we could leave straight away. And by straight away, I mean, after stopping at Whole Foods for dinner. 😉 We made it home safe and sound – no thanks to the stormy California weather…slept in ‘til 10…. Read more >
