Happy Thanksgiving Eve! It’s been quite a busy couple days – I wasn’t able to post anything yesterday because we forgot to pay the internet bill so, yeah, no internet. I swear we’re responsible adults. I suppose I could’ve posted from my phone over some 4Gs, but truthfully, I was tired and not that upset … Continue reading

Secret Recipe & Secret Wars
I stuck to aformentioned the game-plan today and made four loaves of my late Grandmother Harriet’s hand-me-down pumpkin bread. Sorry, I can’t give out the recipe because she would definitely find out. In fact, I’m sure she’s been watching me all day just to make sure I kept her secrets close to home. I am … Continue reading
Stocking Up
Today marks the start of Thanksgiving week. This year, on our first wedded Thanksgiving, Daniel and I are hosting his parents. We are so excited about their first visit to our (rental) home in Arizona! My biggest contribution to Thanksgiving meals in the past has been finishing off the left-over green beans and pumpkin bread. … Continue reading
Saturday Rewind
Where did yesterday go?! I’m rewinding through the day’s events. It was midnight when I wrote this but my internet was being dumb so couldn’t upload it till this morning (Sunday). Anyway, Daniel and I were relaxing with episode after episode of House Hunters and House Hunters International. We had just returned from an evening … Continue reading
Let’s Drink!
I’m not talking about alcohol, people. Sheesh! Today’s post is all about water. Why today? Well, I got a rude awakening (literally) last night when my beauty sleep was interrupted by a cramping stomach and back. Because I was half zombie, I rolled over and pretended it would go away. And it did, eventually. I … Continue reading
Butternut Squash & Lentil Soup
Last night was an experiment – I’m a sucker for great soup, and we’ve had a butternut squash sitting on the counter for a couple weeks. Since last week, I’ve been trying to think of a way to incorporate it into a soup. A couple other ingredients we needed to use before they expired were … Continue reading
750 calories, 40 grams of fat – in a salad.

I love to eat it, study it, cook it, celebrate it … I especially love the science of food; I am so fascinated by its immediate effect on our bodies, in terms of energy, satiety … and size. Eating out or on the … Continue reading
36 hours in San Diego
If you happened to catch the previous post, you know that Daniel and I made our way to San Diego yesterday. Sadly, we are already heading home to Arizona. But not because we didn’t love the city. It was beautiful and seemed to have quite a bit of European influence which we are drawn to. … Continue reading
Road Trip!
Good morning! Daniel and I had an early start this morning. We’re heading to San Diego today because we need to drop off my beloved Subaru at the San Diego port to ship it to Hawaii. If you dont drive a Subaru, you should really reconsider, and Subaru should hire me as a spokesperson … … Continue reading
Breakfast Pizza
We all know that pizza is acceptable at every meal, even breakfast. When I was little there was something almost naughty about pizza for breakfast, but it didn’t stop me. The best way to enjoy it? Cold, covered in yellow mustard, and topped with grated Parmesan cheese. Might sound awful, but oh my gosh… We … Continue reading
