Sisterly love

My sister came to visit this weekend so Kyle and I did our best to show off Santa Monica in all it’s glory.  The weather wasn’t cooperating, but despite the misty cloud cover, it was a weekend packed with fun. Friday morning we hiked to Inspiration Point in Will Roger’s State Park.  By the time we got back it was lunch time and Huckleberry was calling our names. Laura has heard me rave about Huckleberry so many times, it was an obvious choice for lunch. First we split the white bean dip with a slice… Read more >

Interview with a vegan

If you are wondering what a type A person looks like before a job interview, here you go: Prepping slash watching the seconds on the clock tick by.  SO nervous.  Keep your digits (all of ‘em) crossed for me.  After an hour of selling myself offering to give up my first born child for the job, I noshed on a colorful bowl of strawberries and apples.  It was still gloomy weather when noon arrived, so I felt like a warm comfort sammie.  Tempeh fakin’ bacon.  I bought this on a whim (and because it was… Read more >

Krav Magic

I went to bed sooo late last night because I was waiting for Kyle to finish his homework (yes, he has homework).  Too bad for me that didn’t end up being until 1 am.  I wasn’t too concerned because, hey, it’s not like I have a job or anything.  But instead of sleeping in and regaining those lost hours, I was up and at ‘em at 7:30.  😡 6 hours of sleep?  Meh.  Not bad, but not a routine I want to roll with all the time.  The early rise and shine did give me… Read more >

Cover Mate

Nope, not an earth quake drill, just my intro to an AMAZING product that I recently became obsessed with.  CoverMate Food Covers are designed for covering food with specific design details that make them a dream tool in the kitchen. This giveaway post is for anyone who loves a hassle free shortcut – it’s for moms-on-the-go, students with no time, people with no kitchen space, and/or lazy chefs.  Or all of the above.  CoverMates are quicker, easier, and greener than saran wrap because you can use them, wash them, and reuse them…over and over again. … Read more >
