Cereal-ly annoying

Since it’s currently a million and four degrees in Los Angeles, our apartment is in the upper billions range (overhead fans don’t do too much).  Stove top oats were definitely not happening and I hadn’t prepped overnight oats, so my Friday morning started with this beaut.  Plain greek yogurt, golden delicious apple, 365 waffle square cereal, peanut butter and cinnamon. I have mentioned my main cereal “issue” before (the inability to finish fewer than four bowls in a single sitting), but I have another one.  I’m not sure if anyone else has this problem, but… Read more >

One year already?

Whoa, where did the time go?   I can’t believe this time last year I was saying “I do” to my best friend…thus embarking on a lifetime of love and laughter. I will spare you all from enduring another post full of wedding photos since you can see them and read the recap(s) here.  But I will share some of the outtakes…   These pics are so much better anyway! Air robot! Group love!   It was hot (I promise I wasn’t peeing my pants dress).  My uncle looks very worried, though. He’s a romantic,… Read more >

A faux cobbler & a giveaway

Being an overnight oat master (self proclaimed title), I decided to get crafty with my latest batch.   Apricot. Plum. Cinnamon.  Maple syrup. Oats. OOOOATS.   Peanut flour. Boiling water. Fridge time.  Next morning…voila!   Oaty layer on top, fruity layer on bottom.  Yum!   I’m a little late on the summer time breakfasts, huh?  This one is perfect for a hot summer morning with the sweet berries and cool nutty oats.  Hearty and fruity in one big bowl. I used to always dig out the fruit part of my mom’s berry cobblers, seeing how… Read more >

Elise lately

Here’s an odd development that I feel like sharing… I seem to have developed an aversion to coffee.  This is frightening to me and I keep waiting for the phase to pass, but it’s been a week and I still can’t finish off my morning cuppa joe.  Tea’s been doing the trick. It’s pretty bizarre that I could go from a caffeine worshiper to, well, whatever I am now.  Hmmm. I’ve been alternating creamer types (soy, coconut, etc.) but I recently fell in love with Almond Breeze’s Unsweetened Vanilla almond milk.    Love!  Thanks to… Read more >

Excuse me ma’am, there’s cake on your passport

On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to me in Sevilla, we only had time for breakfast before we were off to the train station. The cafes weren’t open as early as we were hoping…but that’s what you get when you’re vacationing in a country that values siestas over commerce (sounds harsh, but 1 in 5 Spaniards are unemployed, so don’t bother arguing the stats). Carmela’s refused to seat us, even though they were a mere 5 minutes from opening and their outside seating was already set.  Whatever.  We walked four steps… Read more >
