First off, a yoga question. Do any of you sweat like mad during your yoga sessions? I do! Mostly on my hands and feet. I wear special yoga toe socks so my feet are stable, but I am now thinking about getting some gloves as well. It is incredibly difficult to feel stable when your [...]

Last Friday, May 21st, was my little sister’s birthday. She would have turned 26 years old. My family and her friends lost my beloved sister in a car accident in 2000, so unfortunately we all had to celebrate her 26th birthday without her physical presence.
The day I become a big sister was one of the [...]

Last Sunday I spent the morning at the Ballard farmer’s market with my mother. I planned on treating myself to a bouquet of flowers to cheer me up. I had thought about lilacs as their scent would be such a joy to wake up to in my room, but instead I ended up spending all [...]

I promise a recipe tomorrow, but this morning I had to share my leisurely Saturday morning breakfast. Matt wanted some faux sausage, andI even tried some Fakin Bacon. I loved the smokey flavor, but it was honestly too sweet for me. Didn’t need the sugar at all!

Next up, fresh pastured eggs.
For Me a hearty hearty [...]

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 [...]

I learned something this weekend. maple syrup is REALLY expensive. No wonder people are overjoyed with agave nectar, it is about 1/3rd the price or maple syrup (Kind of like corn syrup vs. sugar). But you know me, I don’t do the agave. So maple syrup it was, and the maple syrup alone for my [...]

I am not certain how much longer I can label my dishes with “Mexican” or “Indian-inspired”, etc. because it is really really boring. i toyed with calling this “Frida’s Quinoa Salad” but then I figured people would think that Frida Kahlo was making quinoa salad. She was a wonderful cook, but I highly doubt she had [...]
