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 >

On my days off, I like to sleep in. The first thing I do upon waking up is wash my face and brush my teeth. But less than a second after, I make coffee. After that I water my babies. Then, I set up shop on our dining room chairs and read blogs, write, and do whatever internet related errands I’ve put off for the past few days. All while enjoying coffee. Coffee topped with froth and cocoa, to be exact. At least, that’s what I did on Friday. I also had the last piece… Read more >

Saturday was sponsored by the letter “b” apparently. Kyle and I woke up at 7 am to get in a morning jog. I hate working out early in the AM, but I love how it frees up the rest of the day. So conflicting. The reason I don’t like rise-and-shine cardio is because I suck at it. I’m slow in the mornings. I don’t really start to function until an hour (or two, if I’m being honest) after I’ve been awake. The route I took Saturday morning typically takes me 24 minutes (when I do… Read more >

Oh yes I did. This shiz will blow your cabeza. I cannot put into words how awesome this recipe was. Even Kyle was making googly eyes at it. I have a feeling I am going to be making this with the same frequency as Lindsay Lohan’s relapses. Ingredients: small green bell pepper (I used 2/3 medium bell pepper) 1/2 yellow onion 1 tbsp garlic (I used garlic gold nuggets) 1 tomatillo 1 can (2 cups) black beans 10 corn tortillas 4 oz. diced green chilies 1 tsp lime juice 1 tsp cayenne pepper 28 oz….

It’s 9/29! You didn’t think I’d forget National Coffee Day did you!?!? Not a chance. I’m a tad behind in blogging because I’ve been playing catch-up around the casa. I’ve been productive, but I hardly deserve a pat on the back since it’s all stuff that I should have accomplished last weekend. For breakfast on Tuesday I had a bowl of One Lucky Duck grawnola, cheerios, and bananas on top of greek yogurt. Tuesday I got my running mojo back and after this bowl of deliciousness had digested I set off for a nice 30 minutes… Read more >
