Happy (belated) Earth Day fellow hippies! We had such an awesome weekend.  The sun was out and we got together with lots of friends and for those reasons (and many more), we were all so happy. Low key Friday lunch because I didn’t feel like anything real.  I believe this is called intuitive eating?? Friday’s dinner was LEGIT the best thing I had all week.  I know I was kinda struggling with snack (and food in general) inspiration last time I checked in, but you guys knew just what to say to make me feel… Read more >

I’ve been having a PM slump lately.  Since I tend to eat lunch on the later side, it’s rarely a problem, but for some reason my energy has been dipping in the afternoons and I find myself needing to eat something to make it to dinner.  The problem is I can never seem to figure out the perfect snack.  Very few things sound good, and then I’ll finally come up with something and take a bite and it’s like…meh…maybe that’s not what I wanted. I have a few photos of failed snacks, but really there… Read more >

This is what the last day of vacation looks like… But outside it was like this. GORGEOUS. I got my very last (tear) powabunga bowl. It was bliss.  Every last bite. Well, I actually only ate half, but I savored it all. They totally enjoyed the last morning at the pool too.  It’s like they knew they weren’t going to be back and played and played and played.  The best thing about them growing up is the independence it brings.  It’s also the saddest thing.  But for vacations, it’s really made relaxing possible.

On Wednesday and Sunday mornings there’s a mini farmer’s market at the Marriott. I ended up getting some fruit and baked goods for breakfast.  Are you shocked or what?!?  No acai bowl?!?  What?!  Identity crisis! For reals, though, they had these fried doughnut things with cinnamon sugar on top (malasadas) and I HAD to try them. Pool lyfe. So that Choice didn’t wonder what happened to me, I popped by for lunch to get their kale Caesar.  I added avocado and felt like I was at home.  This salad suits me.  I am totally going… Read more >
