Oh night shift, how you disrupt my sleep cycle. How’s that for a cluttered night stand?! The ear plugs are the latest addition to help with my daytime snoozing sitch. Ugh. Again, I slept minimally after noche dos of nursing. Side note: I’m always hesitant to use that word when talking about night shift because I get weird google search terms…sorry to all the moms nursing their newborns all night long searching the internet for nursing related advice…only to click on my blog and not find anything helpful. My packed food was perfection. I’m… Read more >

There are a few things I rarely crave, pasta being one of them and cheese being the other. As you can guess, I’m not a very big fan of Italian food. But chilled pasta salads are quintessential summer fare, and I’m all about welcoming June with open arms…and a vegan summer salad that is sure to please the masses. This dish was born out of my random desire to veganize a Caprese salad, which then got tweaked along the way, and morphed into a pasta dish with a Caesar salad twist. My mind works in… Read more >

After our picnic by the Eiffel Tower, we geared up for a post-lunch workout. And by that I mean a session on France’s most scenic stairmaster. The line to walk is way shorter than the line to go up by lift, plus, the stairs weren’t all that bad! We learned interesting facts at each level, a new addition to the climb, which Laura and I appreciated since I accidentally grabbed the informational brochure in Greek/Italian. Seriously, I couldn’t have picked a worse one to try and decipher. I told Laura it was practice for the… Read more >

A few months ago my parents went to this restaurant in Newport Beach. And when they told me about it, I was actually kinda jealous…until I found out a Santa Monica location was coming soon. Hooray! Kyle and I went to celebrate him being done with finals. One year down! Since the weather was gorgeous, we walked to Santa Monica Place. The menu has a variety of options, from vegan to meat courses. They even indicate which items are vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free to assist the diner. Also, the staff is super knowledgeable… Read more >
