Pumpkin & Pomegranate

I am a bit in shock that it is already December. Luckily for me today in Seattle the weather is gorgeous, unluckily for me it is a Tuesday and so I am stuck inside at my desk until the sun goes down. Last night I was talking to Tiffany on the phone, she was helping [...]

I am sitting on the couch right now with the game on, well a game. I am not exactly a football fan, but I keep Matt company for the last couple of hours for college football Saturdays. I tend to be a tad distracting when I show him things from Regretsy ;-) Tomorrow we are [...]

I still read The Homesick Texan, the gateway blog for me. Before Lisa’s blog I had never even had an interested in reading blogs or being a blogger, but she opened my eyes to fantastic homemade refritos and the blogosphere. Most of her recipes are just eye candy as they have ingredients I don’t generally [...]

Exhibit A: So I’m having a little chocolate with my breakfast. What’s the big deal? That happens to be a big warm bowl of buckwheat mixed with cocoa powder, coconut milk, a banana, some stevia, a little vanilla, and a big dollop of Sunbutter.

As promised, here is the recipe I have been using to make raw pumpkin pie at Healeo. We only had one order for a whole pie, but we have been selling out of the slices quickly. After Thanksgiving I am going to move on from Pumpkin though. I haven’t tried this recipe in anything but [...]

I had such a wonderful visit with my father this past weekend. It was pretty packed, and surprisingly I don’t feel drained like I usually would if I hadn’t had any real rest. On Saturday we spent time in Seattle, we did a little shopping and then hit up the Kubota Garden. We had been [...]

As I mentioned in a previous post, I took a day off from work yesterday because my dear friend Elizabeth was in town. I haven’t seen her in nearly 2 years (or maybe almost 3!) so it was SO nice to have her visit. I am just glad her sweet husband had some work in [...]

It’s official! It’s Fall! So for any of you who celebrate the equinox, I wish you a happy one! I took a rather blissful walk last night celebrating the change in season, and took a few photos along the way (sorry, it was dusk and the light was not working with me). I walked down [...]
