I have completely gone off the rails as far as my diet is concerned. I’m up EIGHT pounds since I finished taking the drops. (I was 134 when I finished, so that means I weigh…well, you do the math. I don’t even want to type the current weight.) I’ve been eating so much stuff that … Continue reading »
Summer of Culture
While we were sightseeing in Puerto Rico last November, my friend and I decided that we would start going to museums once our busy season at work was over in May (Me: “I want to start going to museums and stuff.” Her: “Me too!”). In the months leading up to May, “going to museums” turned … Continue reading »
If I’m going to have a “lifestyle” blog, I need to get a life.
The other day over lunch, one of my friends articulated something that has been on my mind for awhile. She said: “You need to start going on OkCupid dates again. I’m tired of all these recipes on your blog.” This blog was never meant to be a “food blog.” I don’t know what I intended … Continue reading »
Turning a crepe FAIL into a breakfast WIN
When I was looking up all those Nutella recipes on Mother’s Day weekend I kept coming across descriptions of Nutella crepes, which of course sound AMAZING. So all last week I had refrained from eating the remainder of my vegan Nutella, with the intention of making some type of almond flour crepes. I scoured the … Continue reading »

(Read Part One HERE.) I woke up at 8:30 on Mother’s Day so I would have enough time to make the Vegan Nutella AND the Chocolate Hazelnut Banana pie. The first thing I had to do was grind up the hazelnuts. I REALLY need to buy a food processor. I’ve been putting it off because … Continue reading »
Almost sugar-free chocolate hazelnut banana pie, part one – hazelnuts.
After some deliberation over what I should bring to my cousin’s for Mother’s Day, I ended up deciding to make the Chocolate Hazelnut Banana pie. It was the picture that sold me. This recipe was a lot of fun to make, and it was definitely a learning experience. But when I said: “I am leaning … Continue reading »
It’s gonna be a Mother’s Day cooking extravaganza! Plus, my orange manicure.
Last night was fun but nothing happened that’s worth writing about. That’s because I was pretty sober, while everyone around me was drunk! Tomorrow my cousin is having mother’s day brunch at her house, and she has asked me to bring dessert, “only b/c I see you post photos of delicious things.” So now I … Continue reading »
I need more time!
Never in my life have I had so little going on, and yet been so busy at the same time. During the week I go to work, go to the gym, come home, take a shower, cook, eat, and then go on the internet while watching tv. On the weekends I spend the morning and … Continue reading »
