Since I am working all day shifts this month (hooray!) I have been doing my usual 4 am rise-and-shine before work. Taking Jillian on at the crack of dawn may seem crazy to most people, but I feel like a bada$$ when I’m done. So worth it. Since I did level 3 of The Shred the previous day, I decided to switch it up on Wednesday. I buy fitness magazines from time to time (they are my rare grocery store check-out treats), but I never do the workouts inside. Not that I’m an expert… Read more >

So here’s the sitch. Did I mention I have a triathlon in under 30 days. Problem? Yes. It gets worse. I got in an accident yesterday while riding my bike, which I was in denial about until I went to work today…and wound up in the ER half way through my shift. I feel like I got hit by a bus. I am so so sore. It’s unbelievable. I have less than 50% range of motion in my neck and my tailbone is badly bruised. I basically feel stiff all over. Anyway. I don’t… Read more >

This post started innocently enough, with the tempeh recipe I promised from yesterday’s dinner. But then I got emails asking about tempeh and figured if a few people were wondering it, maybe there were more…so admittedly, this post gets a little educational. But who doesn’t want to learn about soy, right? 😉 I’ve tried a few brands of tempeh before, and aside from the fakin’ bacon (which is LightLife’s tempeh version of faux bacon), none have been too pleasing for my palate. This organic garden veggie tempeh (also by LightLife) is the closest I’ve come… Read more >

After another LOOOOONG morning at the Natural Foods Expo, lunchtime rolled around and Kyle and I were beyond tired (read: ready to throw in the towel). We came, we saw, we conquered, and we were exhausted. Rather than return for another 5 hours of crowds and chaos, we decided that we had pretty much enjoyed everything Anaheim had to offer. Game, set, match. With grumbling tummies (I don’t know how), we said goodbye to the Convention Center and set out to find a real meal. A quick search on my blackberry revealed we weren’t too… Read more >

Hello 1-1-11! So nice to meet you. I know you will be bringing me 365 days of joy. Before I dig in, though, allow me to share how I dined on the last day of 2010. Chico, California has a fairly decent hippie population so I wasn’t too surprised when our brunch on the 31st at Cafe Coda had delicious vegan options aplenty. In addition to the two huge french presses (see above), we ordered champagne for the whole table. It’s never too early on New Year’s Eve right? I got the Veggie Masterpiece which… Read more >
