When does 5 lbs. seem like a lot and when does it seem like a little? It depends on the context. 5 lb. dumbbells – a little 5 lb. textbooks – a lot Lugging around a backpack full of textbooks is less than ideal for students, and something I lamented over constantly when I was in high school and college.

This past weekend was faaaaantastic. On Friday I luxxe-ed it up with my bestie, Jess, visiting from NYC. I adore Caffe Luxxe, and Jess and I have identical tastes in everything (with the most important relevant being food), so obviously I had to share the pretty soy latte art with her.

I got 5 pounds of oats from Tropical Traditions and I’m working my way through it pretty damn quickly. Aside from my daily – sometimes double – dose of oatmeal, I have been baking quite a bit too. Since I had bananas with more brown than yellow sitting on the counter, I knew time was ticking until they would be freezer bound. But I already have plenty of frozen nanners! Must. Use. ASAP. I was winging it as I went with this recipe, but it came out great, so I will share. Peanut Banana… Read more >
