Not a very glamorous title, but it’s all I’ve got. Explanations following the things that I think need them. Dinner and the next day’s lunch (for Kyle). Pumpkin sage ravioli bob-bob-bobbing their heads up to say hi. Minimalist toppings include olive oil, parmesan, & peas. Vegan carrot cake. I froze it after our baby shower. The cake part was good, the frosting wasn’t my fave. FYI, this cake is made by Fabe’s and sold by Whole Foods. It’s gluten free and vegan, so the fact that the cake part was good is… Read more >

I feel like this is what every third trimester soon-to-be-mom says at some point, but to hell with the cliché. I HAVE NO MORE ROOM. Ugh. I’m so full and it’s depressing that it’s not from food. Ok, that sounded bad. I don’t mean I’m depressed that my son is a big healthy baby – that makes me very very happy. What I’m bummed about is that I cannot honor my voracious hippie appetite in the way that I’m accustomed to doing. I wanna freakin’ chow down and it’s just uncomfortable. Lame. So much for… Read more >

Guess what finally opened!!! Tender Greens’ new Santa Monica location! I have been waiting for this for quite some time (remember last week when I tried to go and it wasn’t open yet?). While I was thrilled to learn that it was opening this past weekend, I was sad that it happened while I was away in NYC. Naturally I made a beeline for the place as soon as we got back in town. 🙂 I took Kyle and my girlfriend Lauren with me. Lauren got the Harvest salad with Organic Fruit, Artisan Cheese, Local… 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 >
