We’ve all had sweet potatoes fries – they’re all the rage now. You can find them now at hip & trendy restaurants. Do you remember Brian Malarkey from Bravo’s Top Chef? Well he lives here is SD and has opened up a few new restaurants. Of course one of the items on his menu is sweet potato fries. I have…

The Food Matters Project
I am so exciting to be doing this! The Food Matters Project is a food blogging project based on The Food Matters Cook Book by Mark Bittman. The project is being organized by Sarah from 20somethingcupcakes. If you aren’t familiar with or don’t know who Mark Bittman is, he is pretty big in the food world – especially when it…
Shit Yogis Say
This is too funny. I find it particularly fitting as I have started taking yoga recently. I am on week 3 of yoga. I love it! Calms me, centers me, challenges my core & arms, etc. I’ve been taking classes at the La Jolla Yoga Center. Great place. My first “beginner” class was with Linda. She was awesome! Explained all…
Week in Review
So I am back to work after having time off to “renew and relax” after the new year. It was AWESOME! Fabulous! I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed it. I relaxed a bit, was productive around the house/errands, did some personal and professional development – basically recharged, both mentally and physically. As predicted, I had a laundry…
Resolution – No Resolution?
Resolutions or No Resolutions? That is the question. I am sure at least 90% of the people out there are thinking about the close of 2011 and the beginning of 2012. I know I sure am. And of those 90% (I totally just made that percentage up) how many are making new “plans” for the new year? Are they making…

Re-Energized: Part III
Part III? Really, what the heck else can I be reenergizing? Well, if I am back working on my blog and running, it is only fitting that I work on my eating habits as well. Those have been lacking as of lately and it’s time to kick it in the butt! I’m a firm believer in food is fuel for…
Have Fun and Help Others!
My birthday is coming up in about 2 weeks. Normally I would have some sort of celebration. Whether it be just dinner with close friends or a huge blow out like last year (my big 3-0). This being only 31….wow can I just pause and say it again, 31….where does the time ago? Feels like I was just 27 yesterday. …
Junk in the Trunk
Literally…..there is a ton of Junk in the Trunk, junk food that is. And no it’s not for me!! In fact, I wish it wasn’t there at all. About once a month I have to make a Costco run for my coworkers. Around 3-4:30pm they go savaging for something to snack on and when the cupboard is bare, watch…
