This is not a recipe makeover, but rather a re-post of the process of how to make soynut butter. You see, that post I wrote long long ago is somehow one of the most popular on my site. And yet, the photos are hideous and don’t do the recipe justice in the least. So I decided to write a revised post, in the hopes that more people will give it a shot. Back in my college days I was a soynut butter fiend. Just ask my bestie, Jess. We pounded the stuff. It… Read more >
As far as weekends go, this was pretty damn near perfect. It started with a 10 am wake up call (sleep in much?), and then a bit of coffee loading. Since it was a GORGEOUS 40+ degrees outside, Kyle and I wanted to get our faces in the sun asap. So, after snacking on one (and a half) of my chia seed oat bars, we set out for a run in the park. I can’t even tell you how long I have been waiting to feel the road beneath my feet. The treadmill just hasn’t… Read more >

It doesn’t take too long and after a few minutes, they should have soaked up much of the water. After a few minutes add a bit more water until it’s higher above the nuts again. Then, transfer to blender (I used my Magic… Read more >

Monday = BLAH It figures it would rain pour all day. After Saturday’s crazy long run and Sunday’s race, my leg muscles were struggling. Let’s just say this week will be a serious taper week since next weekend is my HALF MARATHON!!! You would have thought this weekend’s race would have calmed my nerves, but I think I am even MORE jittery and anxious now. : / Java love + a whole lotta froth + toast with snb = good morning! Since the weather was crap I couldn’t procrastinate any longer. I was forced to… Read more >

I LOVE warm weather. And being that this was the first nice weekend we New Yorkers have had this season, I decided to take advantage. Obviously, I wasn’t the only one with this brilliant idea…apparently the rest of New York was on the same wavelength. I wish I had a photo of Central Park…the great lawn was PACKED like nothing I’ve ever seen. Not an INCH to spare! “Not an square to spare.” – anyone? AM Montage: frothy java, chobz, & coconut date rolls I went on a supah long run in the Park before… Read more >
