random fall reflections

It’s fall, right? It was 85 degrees today in San Diego. It didn’t get above 80 during the summer, but here we are on November 2nd (I hope you voted!) and I’m wearing summer clothes. We had a little learning curve on finding our polling place (in our old neighborhood since we didn’t change our […]

whole grains and happy houseguests

We are back from our road trip! It was fantastic. More later — specifically after I have sorted through over 1200 photos, deleted most of them, and selected a small handful to share. In other (hopefully) exciting news, I decided (yesterday) to participate again in National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo). That means I will be […]

gone fishin'

Sorry for the lack of updates. I’m on vacation. One of the aspects I love most about my health coaching program is that it’s holistic, meaning it takes all areas of your life into account when addressing your health. This vacation is good for my (and my husband’s) health, no doubt. If you follow my […]

We moved to a new neighborhood so our CSA pick up is now Thursdays at the local farmer’s market. The market is awesome and next time we go I will take photos. This week we had to pick up and run so I could get to work on time. It’s also New Food Friday! I’m […]

how to pack healthy lunches for work

Do you eat the same thing for breakfast every day? Unless I talk my husband into having “fancy breakfast” (pancakes or waffles, or egg-and-veggie dishes) my normal breakfast options are variations on poached eggs with toast or oatmeal. Or leftover cake when possible. How about for lunch? When my husband started taking a lunch to […]

san diego in 6 hours

Before we get to the multitude of posts prancing around in my tired brain (currently located on top of a very tired body), I wanted to show you some photos from last week. My parents took a cruise starting in Seattle that ends in Florida through the Panama Canal. Their first port of call? San […]

the kitchen reader: hungry monkey

The September selection for The Kitchen Reader was Hungry Monkey: A Food-Loving Father’s Quest to Raise an Adventurous Eater by Matthew Amster-Burton, chosen by Meryl of My Bit of Earth. This is not a book I would have selected on my own, but that’s what I like best about our book club! I really enjoyed […]

We picked up this share on Wednesday in the midst of moving, but when the cable company said that they would hook up the cable “Tuesday by 7pm,” they meant “Saturday by 11am after you call because the cable isn’t working.” So now that I’m home from work and the internet is working, here is […]
