How about s’more

After Saturday’s nightcap, Kyle and I found ourselves sucked into an A&E marathon.  Has anyone else ever seen The First 48?  Because we had finished our Netflix-ed Dexter DVDs the previous night (and didn’t want to pay $11.99 for the Hyatt’s On-Demand films) our TV options were limited.  Turns out The First 48 is a really good show…so good in fact, that we’ve now seen the entire first season.  😉 Anyway, Sunday started the same as Saturday (plus football).  Coffee, pool lounging, gym time, and eventually lunch. We couldn’t help ourselves…and so we headed back… Read more >

Native Foods of Palm Springs

In honor of Kyle making it through finals without losing his marbles finishing the quarter, we decided to take a weekend getaway together.  Neither of us had ever been to Palm Springs before so it seemed like a nice destination.    I really didn’t do too much research before heading to the desert, but I’m a very simple girl.  On vacation, all I need to be happy is sunshine, Starbucks, and sleep.  Ok, good food, too.  Check. Check. And check.  We arrived Friday evening and checked into our hotel before strolling the downtown area.  Thanks to… Read more >

Bumper crop

Our neighbors left a bag of lemons on our front porch last week.  Apparently they had a bumper crop and we were the lucky recipients of the excess.  I’ll be more than happy to take those off your hands.  🙂 I searched and searched for lemony recipes.  And then I came upon Veganomicon’s lemon bar recipe. I was pretty curious as to how a lemon bar could be good without eggs, but I decided to give it a whirl.  I also changed the recipe by dusting the top with coconut flakes rather than confectioners’ sugar. … Read more >

And here’s the hourly breakdown… 7:30 pm – I pack the above eats for work. 8:30 pm – In an attempt to get back on track, I tuck into the covers extra early. 4:14 am – My alarm goes off and Kyle lovingly nudges shoves me out of my slumber to shut off the beeping. 4:30 am – Jillian Michaels makes me regret seeing the sunrise with weights and cardio. 5:00 am – Shower time. 5:15 am – I sip on coffee… Read more >
