Pumpkin & Pomegranate

I have some odd little quirks. For some reason I LOVE when I get down to the bare bones in my pantry/fridge/freezer, and I equally love stocking it back up! Lately I have just not been in the mood to drag my butt to the store, and so it has been a bit of the [...]

A little while back someone mentioned that they would like to see what I eat in a typical day. Since I don’t make habit of photographing EVERY meal I eat, or bite I take, I don’t have an actual day put together. I do have some sample foods that I snapped photos of from the [...]

Yesterday I was at Trader Joe’s and almost picked up a box of Gorilla Munch. I haven’t had a bowl of cereal in a year and a half, and that last bowl was some Trader Joe’s High Fiber cereal that was supposed to help get the anesthesia out of my body. So what’s so bad [...]
