This post is semi-embarrassing, but was fun to reflect on and write. I don’t eat a “perfect” diet now (whatever that means), nor will I ever, but I’ve come a LONG way in the past decade. *** I didn’t live in an apartment until my senior year of college. Before that I was in the dorms or the sorority house. We all know what dorm life is like…needless to say, moving to a gorgeous mansion with tons of girlfriends was a big upgrade. And although living with a million other females wasn’t always such a… Read more >

First order of business, the gardein winners. #8 Robin O., #25 Erica Wollman, and #28 Debbie. Email me with your addresses. Now. Let’s do a full day of food, okay? This is from over a week ago. I woke up way too early after sleeping way too little. Nothing new. I had milky coffee. And holiday waffles with an egg. Oh gorgeous froth. About two hours later, I was hungry (again), so I made a sweet potato hash. I made it the same way as I previously posted. You’d think the coconut oil would have… Read more >

Kyle and I took full advantage, and drove down to his parents’ house in San Clemente on Wednesday afternoon, to stay through… Read more >

Dearest medjools. You make everything taste like dessert. And yet, you count as a fruit. One of mother nature’s true gifts. Dearest peanut flour. You’re so rare. So special. People have to seek you out and hoard you. These two together are like…heaven. No really. I named these treats “five” balls because the ingredients are oh so conveniently organized in fives. Ironically, the recipe yields more than five balls, but whatever. I suppose I could have just made really large ones in order to honor the name. But I didn’t. Oh well…. Read more >
