Vegans in Vegas

I know I said what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas… BUT… …there was (slightly) more to my Bachelorette weekend than boozing and dancing. And, by that, I’m referring to the food. So.  Now that I can look at the weekend’s photos without feeling nauseous, I feel it is my duty (as a blogger and a girl on a budget) to share with you all how to survive Vegas…without gaining 50 pounds from an all-you-can-eat buffet or losing $500 from pool side munchies. I’m not making any such promises about the alcohol though. For the… Read more >

The lost footage

My last two days in Lynden were borderline horrible.  Friday’s migraine sidelined me like a shot to the liver.  The worst is when you know it’s coming…and (unfortunately) I’m very familiar with the onset of migraines.  I used to get them all the time in high school – and I mean the whole she-bang – aura, nausea, pounding head. So yeah, the I second the halo appeared, I knew I was in for it.  What I didn’t count on was being out for so long!  Bummer.  Thank you all for your advice and kind words…. Read more >

Thrive

I’m going with a minimalist approach.  Inspired by the farm fresh produce of the area, the day centered around fruit.  Four courses of it to be exact. Pluots + pink ladies Ditto + raspberries Apple count thus far…four. Make that five. Eventually I moved away from the fruit.  But I didn’t stray too far.  Produce how I love thee. Celery + carrots + avocado + leftovers (that I never posted on). Half an avocado can make dirt taste good. As you can see much of my recent eats (and musings) have been inspired by my… Read more >

Out of commission

I was suffering for most of the day yesterday. (source) Ironically enough, I was just exclaiming last week how great it was that I finally stopped getting migraines.  Spoke too soon, eh? I tried to fight it. I pounded water by the glass. I even resorted to medications. In the end though, I couldn’t fight the pounding in my head. I crawled into bed after lunch and passed out. I slept until 5:15 pm (!!) [when the babies woke up from their nap, so did I]. I still felt like death so I had another… Read more >

Welcome to Boxx

I’m on “vacation” in Washington and I’m surrounded by farms.  Some may fail to see the positive side in this situation (ok, the constant smell of cattle manure isn’t exactly the town’s selling point), but in my opinion things don’t get much better (read: fresher than fresh produce).  It seems like everyone in town has their favorite source for fresh produce.  Some like Barbie’s Berries.  Some like The Green Barn.  But (as per my future in-laws) Boxx Farms is simply “the best.”  Naturally, I had to see the best for myself; so the other day,… Read more >
