What an amazing weekend. Not just because I got showered with love. With or without Mother’s Day, this past Saturday and Sunday were just plain awesome. Kyle was down in LA on Friday for a conference, so I was solo parenting again. I broke the fast with a bowl of overnight oats. Man, it’s been a while since I made these! I basically just added boiling water to some oats the night before, along with a few big spoons of peanut butter. Then I stirred it all up and left it in the fridge so… Read more >

Last week I had a kale chip show-down. I really like kale chips, but I’m kinda picky about them. They are expensive to buy, but a pain to make (and never as good in my opinion). Brad’s RAW naked kale chips Pro: good flavor Con: poor texture (they were semi soggy and didn’t crunch like chips aught to) Will I buy again? No. SnackLets spicy chili-lata kale chips Pro: holy spice! Con: holy spice! (these packed a serious kick that I couldn’t handle for much more than a few bites at once) Will I… Read more >

I am back in LA, even though I have yet to finish recapping my time in NYC. We got back late the other night, so I figured with the time change I would sleep in a bit more than usual. Wrong. I got a bunch of random errands done in the morning though, which meant when my sister arrived at 11 for brunch I wasn’t a total scatterbrain. This is the sister who has been traveling the world for the past 6 months…and she’s only been back for a week, but has already booked a… Read more >

How did I not know until just now that my idol, Jillian Michaels, has a free podcast on iTunes!?! I’m 24 episodes behind, which means I have enough listening material for the drive to Nor Cal tomorrow (and back on Monday). Score! I was heartbroken (no, seriously, I was) when XM radio discontinued Jillian’s last radio show, so imagine my excitement when I discovered she’s back! And this time on iTunes! There’s nothing more motivating than listening to Jillian speak about fitness and nutrition. Weee! I’ve never looked forward to the I-5 like this. Ever. … Read more >

The art of packing food is my specialty. Much like making my daily work eats (tutorials here), packing food for traveling is a bit of a craft. Some may find it easier to buy meals at the airport rather than go through the hassle of taking extra baggage through security. Personally, I’m not one of those people. I don’t care if it adds 25 pounds of dead weight that I have to schlep by plane, train, and automobile, for me it’s SO worth the energy. The cost to benefit analysis probably differs depending on your… Read more >
