Pumpkin & Pomegranate

My weekend turned out to be quite full after all. I did cut some things out as I didn’t want to overstress myself, but I still kept myself quite busy. Friday I stopped by my friend Betsey’s to purchase some of her homemade goodies. She has a lovely little Etsy store where she sells her [...]

Seattle has been experiencing a “cold snap” this week, and by “cold snap” I mean it is crazy cold for Seattle.  I don’t think it has gotten much above freezing in the past week, and my body isn’t used to it! Last night I decided I was going to just soldier through and go on [...]

I am taking a moment out to share something personal and non-food related with you all. We are all multifaceted individuals, and sometimes you need to show other sides. I feel like this is the time for one of them. Today marks the 29th anniversary of the day John Lennon was killed. I was only [...]

I have a new love! Matt and I were shopping at Whole Foods yesterday (I gave up my boycott a few weeks ago), and I was picking up my usual box of quinoa flakes when I saw something incredible.

But I have been reading around and surfing and things and I have a few things to report. 1. After my current bottle of Stevia I won’t be buying more. Here’s why. 2. I hate Twilight. I refuse to read the books, the movie was horrendous. I had to look up the new guy because [...]

Whoever invented the oven, I could kiss you! I have been really into my roasted veggies this week and I just had to share yet another photo straight from the oven! That is 1 delicata squash, 1 bunch broccolini, and 1 bulb of garlic, roasted to perfection in some extra virgin olive oil. Perfect Fall [...]

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 [...]

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. Thanks to Heather for mentioning this variety that is JUST sunflower [...]

I have really been loving the quinoa flakes. So much so that Matt bought an extra box to keep at his place. Since I have been off eggs for a few weeks now, and the quinoa has been my morning protein. Oh and I pad it with some nut butter too of course!
