Joe makes the best crab cakes. He really does—and I order crab cakes at every single restaurant I go to that has them (unless I anticipate them being full of bread crumbs and deep fried). So I really know about crab cakes. The first version can be found here. The Crab Cakes Special Edition is …
I’ve mostly readjusted to being home…after a road trip with my friend Carrie, two of her kids (ages 5 and 6), and Matthew (age 8). We went to the Jersey Shore for a few days and had a blast! The kids had never been to the ocean before, so it was a lot of fun …
Here’s a workout Shirley and I did last week on Tuesday before I went to Florida and she went to Italy… {Photo by Jen at PhotoCHICA) If you do this workout, you should pick a weight for each exercise that is very hard—meaning, you can’t do extra reps in each set, but you can finish what’s …

I made it to Florida….this is my view. Wait, I meant this…. I’m in heaven—there’s no Classic (over 21) Kombucha in NY. This grape shiz is the best! {It makes me miss my girl Kristina—remember Life as Kristina? Well, we practically invented this stuff, and had 9am kombucha parties at work} Our friendly neighborhood juicer….I …
I’m on my way back to NY, so the weekend of fun in Cali has come to an end! I’m trying to talk myself into grading final exams for three classes and doing discussion posts in two others. I should do it—I’m captive on this plane for a few more hours! It’s always an interesting …
Every time I’ve visited my relatives in California, I leave planning to figure out my life so I can move here. I considered going to college out here too, but somehow my plan has never happened. Now, although I can easily be re-swept away by “the feeling” (as my mom and I call it when …
Happy Saturday! I hope your weekend is going well so far—I know mine will be (I mean, it already is, considering my flights have been on time and I’m currently typing this from somewhere between Atlanta and LA). Kristen (my cousin that I’m visiting) is moving into her new apartment today…at the beach, with a …
I’m partway home, in Atlanta, after an iced coffee (I speed-walked to my gate and was too hot for hot coffee) and wrestling with the wifi for 30 minutes. Yesterday was low key for Jena and me (and the kids). But we ended the day by walking on the beach, and that was fabulous. Not …
For the past few days, my friend Jena and I have been experimenting with some recipes using coconut flour and almond flour—for recipes she can use with her kids. Kids are the toughest crowd usually—they don’t just judge based on if something tastes good, but they also judge based on if it’s different than what …
