After weeks of stressing out (unnecesarily, it turns out), we now have a place to live AND a great daycare lined up in the East Bay. Moving day is coming up fast, so I’ve been busy getting ready for that instead of doing anything interesting in the kitchen. Lately it’s [...]

My family was here last week. That means I got to run with my dad and sister. I got to help my mom with the pop culture-related crossword clues. I got to show them how excited Ellie gets at the aquarium… And how cool the rainforest exhibit is. The [...] 
There’s no crazy like 8th-grade-with-7-days-of-school-left crazy. These kids are wired. I wish I could share their enthusiasm, but it’s hard to get excited about summer when it never gets above 65 degrees, and summer means thick fog all day and every day. I’m soooo over it. Fortunately, I have [...] When we were traveling in SE Asia (ohhh, I miss those days SO MUCH), there were shirts everywhere that said”Same Same” on the front, and “But Different” on the back. I never totally figured out what that meant, but a lot of the street vendors said “same same” when they [...] My parents and sister are here right now, which means there hasn’t been much time for cooking and blogging. There has, however, been time for a fantastic 20 mile run (my last long run before the Big Sur Marathon, which is in 12 days!)

Last year I included 10 of my favorite healthy recipes with my Christmas recap, and this year I’m doing it again. First, Christmas and Boxing Day! I finished Ellie’s stocking with 24 hours to spare. It’s not perfect, but I’m really happy with how it turned out. Christmas morning, we [...] When I was growing up, lunch was ALWAYS a sandwich (usually PB & J), a piece of fruit, and a cookie, with a quarter thrown in so I could buy milk in the cafeteria. There’s nothing wrong with a lunch like that, but it can get a little repetitive, [...] I meant to write this post yesterday, but somehow the day passed far too quickly and I feel like I accomplished almost nothing. I did manage to squeeze in a run (4.5 miles at 9:26 min/mile) even though I was completely exhausted and almost decided not to go. Fortunately, [...] I was NOT okay with the fact that people were already baking with pumpkin in early September. Now that it’s officially Fall, I’m happy to see pumpkin everywhere, but any time before that, it just feels wrong (except in pumpkin spice lattes, which I started drinking immediately as soon as [...] |
