do you know the muffin man?

One reason I don’t make muffins is starchy breakfasts arent for me. Another reason is I don’t actually like muffins. Popovers? Yes, please! Cupcakes? Don’t mind if I do. Muffins? Meh. Then Heidi‘s new cookbook came out. As someone who loves her first cookbook I have followed the new book’s progress on her blog. It’s […]

The last few weeks have been flying by. After running a 5K I jumped to working on a dance show that opened this past weekend. In my spare moments, I’ve been devoting some needed time to my health coaching business. We’ve been doing really well at eating through our CSA shares, but in fairly pedestrian […]

what a difference a 5K makes

At risk of sounding like a broken record (I swear, last mention — until next year?), I have to give another big THANK YOU to everyone who helped me raise $700 for San Hospice and the Institute for Palliative Medicine. It was their second year doing the fundraiser walk/fun run and there were over 1200 […]

Easy Healthy Dinner Ideas

How often do you eat at home? Restaurant portions are usually 3 times the size of what we should actually be eating and contain multiple times the daily recommendation for saturated fat and sodium limits. Most Americans get 80% of their sodium from packaged or restaurant food — the half-teaspoon of salt you add to […]

simple spring soup

A friend mentioned the other week that he didn’t think there were any vegetables I disliked. Obviously, right? I thought about it for a minute and was impressed at the number of vegetables that I like now compared to when I was a kid. My sister and I both always liked artichokes, broccoli, and Brussels […]

First off, holy crap you’re awesome! I emailed a few family members (seriously, about 5), posted here on the blog and mentioned it once on Facebook and Twitter. Three days later I had met my goal of raising $500 for San Diego Hospice Care. Seriously amazing. Thanks so much to everyone who donated. I can […]

spring housekeeping

My to-do list is as long as my arm and I keep thinking of more items to add. It seemed like a good time for a little break to post some recipe-free updates! There’s all sorts of excitement up in these parts. I’m running a 5K! I’m not a runner. I’ve never run a race […]

and the beet goes on

Other than picking up the CSA, I’ve been so busy running around doing exciting and blog-worthy activities that I haven’t been home long enough to blog about them! Poor me, right? But Mom is safely in Florida and I have ample to free time to catch up on all the stuff I put off while […]

Yes, these are the vegetables we got on Thursday. I’m slow. My mom is here, which is great, but we’ve been out and about every day for the last week! We’ve been to the beach in North County, we’ve been to wine country, we’ve been to see my mom’s 91-year-old aunt in Orange County, and […]
