When I was a kid, I read a lot—like, a lot a lot. I remember sitting in my closet on my bean bag chair, reading for hours on end one summer (yes, there was a light in there and yes, I should have been outside playing). I devoured books—which I attribute to nature (my mom …
I thought I’d take a small break from throwing recipes at you, and just be more general for a minute. I have been doing a lot of thinking about my move to Santa Monica, my life, food….friends (old and new). You name it, I’ve probably been thinking about it! Here’s a snapshot view… …
Hello! I want to share a recipe with you for two reasons: (1) It’s darn good and (2) It’s helping me see and admit what issues I need to work on in my life. I’ll cover the light and airy part of this post’s topic first. However, it is a burger with cheese, so it’s …
It’s been a great week here in Santa Monica (I’m on day 7). I have been walking so much, exploring and just being outside at most hours of the day. I was determined to spend a few days relaxing, and although I did think about my “plan” a bit, I did let things go and …

Transitions can be difficult, but truthfully, I’m excessively happy about my new adventure in California. The biggest challenge for me is to try to not control it for a certain outcome.

Today, though, I am kind of realizing that we’re all in limbo most of the …
I finally did something new in the kitchen today.

I’m almost at a loss for something to post today. I’m trying to get back into the swing of things (and am almost caught up now). I went to work out with my new trainer today—it was hard, but satisfying. He had me do: jump rope box step-ups (with knee up) beat the tractor tire …
This is a totally random topic, mostly because I didn’t do anything except work today. I’ll call it: Don’t Always Rely on Cruise Control We spend so much of our lives on cruise control. This is mostly good. After all, you’d not want to have to put lots of thought and effort into things like brushing …
