Heat wave much? I woke up way too early on Monday because I was sweating my cojones off. I’m not so sure fall has truly arrived after this past weekend of sunshine. No complaints here! Despite the four fans and six open windows keeping the triple digit temps at bay, I still had my usual vat of coffee. Can’t fight the addiction! See? I’m still embracing summer with it’s seasonal fruit. I am in love with the peaches at the Santa Monica farmer’s market. We’re nearly out too, so Wednesday’s bounty will definitely include more… Read more >

Not the Fonz… Faz! While home, Kyle and I made more headway with the wedding planning, including research for our rehearsal dinner. FAZ is a cute Mediterranean restaurant with amazing food, classy ambiance, open atmosphere, and YES, those are trees inside! Anything green gets the thumbs up from this girl hippie. After we checked out the space, they treated us to dinner. Fabulous! We started with brick oven flat bread and rosemary foccacia fresh from the oven. It was warm, fluffy and heavenly. Kyle dipped his in the seasoned oil & vinegar with parmesan… Read more >

Sunday offered nicer weather than Saturday, but I still wanted warmth in my belly for breakfast. What to make, what to make…french vanilla SO Delicious coconut milk coffee, followed by the world’s thickest bowl of pumpkin oat bran. You would think this would fill me right up, but I was hungry again just a few hours later. I slept in, though, so it was well past noon, and I set to work on lunch. Cubed ‘fu rubbed in cornmeal and paprika, tossed in a skillet, and sizzled to death. Pretty snazzy for a recipe on… Read more >

I don’t have an iPhone, but if I did, I know I would be obsessed with all those fun little apps. If only there were one that could help me decide what I wanna eat! Sometimes I can’t for the life of me figure out what I’m in the mood for. Do you ever have this problem? This morning I stared into the fridge for a solid 5 minutes, then went to the pantry, then back to the fridge again…and I still came up with NADA. I didn’t feel like anything sweet or savory, and… Read more >

I have been putting EVERY effort into helping my body heal, so after several consecutive days of working, I was really looking forward to sleeping in and skipping the gym. I slothed it up on the couch all day long. I kid you not. ALL.DAY.LONG. What goes with laziness? TV and grub. Enter DVR and a marathon of breakfasts. My toast with Smart Balance light (it’s vegan, yo) didn’t hold me over very long, so an hour later I opted for a bowl of granola to supplement my brekkie (and a super overflowing cup of… Read more >
