On Saturday night I was invited to a pre-opening meal at a new restaurant… [these are the perks of food blogging that Kyle really enjoys] You may have heard of The Veggie Grill before, since they have a few other locations in the Southern California area. This new site is mere blocks from our apartment, so we were both excited to try it out (for free no less!). Several staff members welcomed us upon arrival and then explained the menu, highlighting the favorites while encouraging us to browse it for ourselves. We both ended up… Read more >

I’d been looking forward to Saturday’s date with Lynn since we first lined our lunch up last month. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to bed on Friday night until almost 4 am. Oops! Clearly I woke up regretting that scheduling decision. As much as I have matured in the party planning realm, one key thing I forgot about raging into the wee hours is how much of a worthless sloth I tend to be the next day. Hangover aside, I’m a trooper (and I like food blogger meet ups). So come noon, I found myself on… Read more >

Kyle and I threw a holiday party on Friday night…which proved to be a reminder of both how much we have and have not changed since college. Nowadays, I approach these kind of events with a plan. In college, I was too busy sleeping through my 2 pm classes…to-do lists weren’t even on my radar yet. Sweeping, mopping, dusting, and scrubbing were my forms of exercise yesterday. My 20 year old self, on the other hand, was fairly gym diligent. Making sure we are ready for out of towners drunken shackers hasn’t seemed to change…except… Read more >

Dude. I can’t even begin to describe the past 18 hours. I had a really rough day. I was going a mile a minute from the second my shift started…and the first time I looked at the clock I was shocked. Already 11:20!?! Uhhhh…what!? How could this be? Because my job is time dependent (meds, blood draws, etc. all require a strict schedule) it’s rare that I’m not aware of the time. Today, however, I never had a moment of rest. Not even a millisecond. I was definitely behind for most of the day…perpetually trying… Read more >

Breakfast. Froth. Pumpkin coconut oats. Lunch. Whole wheat pita with faux “tuna” salad and roasted red pepper hummus. This is a new brand of pitas and I couldn’t be more in love. The fluffier, the better. Snacks. Three Sisters Cinnamon Sweets. Enjoy Life Boom Choco Boom bar. Do you really not know what this is? I totally Top Chef marathon-ed it for most of the day. With many chocolate breaks. How a hippie eats a Reese’s vegan fudge peanut butter cup. *Note: you may want tea for between bites because this is one rich dessert…. Read more >
