I’m sure you’ve noticed by now that Kristina and I are a little over-focused on food right now. It’s not an obsession, I swear (ok, maybe a little bit, but it’s a healthy obsession!). I keep thinking I should post something with a little more variety than just recipes, but it’s what I’m feeling right …
Michael Pollan, author of In Defense of Food, gives a list of rules to live by (in the world of food) if you are trying to be healthier. It’s meant to be helpful, not stressful….and also to simplify the process of figuring out what the heck to eat! Here are the rules: Don’t eat anything …
A couple weekends ago, I decided to make granola, so I adapted a recipe from Kimberly Snyder—-and it’s so awesome I want to share it with everyone I know (and yet, eat it all myself!). I followed it exactly except I used Golden Hunza raisins instead of Thompson raisins. Blend first (blender or food …
For some reason, maybe it’s the time of year (and lack of sunlight?), many people are talking to me about not having very much (or any) motivation or energy. Procrastination is a big enough problem for a lot of people even at normal motivation levels! I think much of it has to do with the …

Dear FedEx, Today you sent me on a wild goose chase. I ordered a new table to fit in that tiny open space in my kitchen (you know, to hold all my wonderful kitchen gadgets that won’t fit on the counter), and I spent over $100 just to have it shipped to my door. I …
Kristina and I packed our lunch today—-It was spaghetti with marinara sauce and garlic bread…..kinda. I used a vegetable spiral slicer to make the noodles out of zucchini, and the “bread” was just cut up sprouted grain tortillas. I packed up all the parts and took it to work with me today. We really wanted …
A very common problem among Americans (and I’m sure for people in other countries too) is to never focus on anything because it’s difficult to decide what to focus on. In other words, we never master anything because we don’t decide what to master—-we’re just masters at dabbling. Kristina and I (mostly I) have been …
