Wow… Can you believe it’s 2013??? Where did 2011 and 2012 go? Seriously, I kept looking in the mirror this morning saying “2013″, “2013????” over and over again, mostly because I couldn’t believe it! Didn’t we just travel to Maui to celebrate our 1-year wedding anniversary? Didn’t I just celebrate my birthday? Those were […]

Ask any of my family/friends, and they’ll tell you of my love affair with brussel sprouts ♥ They’ll also likely tell you of my love for coffee, sweet potatoes, almond butter, pineapple, and salmon, but when brussels are in season – and they’re only in season for about 2 months (!) – they quickly scoot […]

This has become another one of my obsessions lately. Not just because of the healthy “orange” glow I get from eating 2+ lbs of carrots over the course of 2 days, but because it’s comforting, a little spicy from the ginger, a little sweet from the carrots, and LOADED with vitamin A! A little side […]

No doubt you’ve heard a lot lately about Gluten-Free diets, and maybe you’ve even asked yourself if Gluten-Free is for you. If you have celiac’s disease (intolerance to gluten), then no doubt you are already on a gluten free diet. But if you don’t have celiac’s, but have considered if gluten free is for you, […]

Every few months I’ll go through these phases where I can’t seem to part with certain things – maybe a song, a meal, a website, fitness routine, or book.
