This is one of my favorite smoothies. It tastes just like a pink Starburst. Ingredients: Frozen strawberries Pineapple (fresh, frozen, or canned) Coconut water (I usually buy the plain coconut water not Goya brand, because Goya adds sugar and other weird stuff, but this was the only one they had at the store.) Pinch of … Continue reading Recipe: Pink Starburst Smoothie
I found pictures of this raw chocolate cake/brownie that I made a while ago and wanted to share. Even though this isn't a traditional cake, I love it so much more because there is only real, raw foods in it. There are a lot of dates, and dates are high in sugar, so it's still … Continue reading Raw Chocolate Cake
I am a homeowner! I saw this house the first day it went back on the market and wanted to make an offer ASAP. We waited a few months and looked at some other places, but in the end our search ended here. It needs a lot of updating, and the spider population rivals NYC, … Continue reading It's official…
I got really excited when I saw Tofutti ricotta at the grocery store, so we spur of the moment had lasagna for dinner. It's homemade as opposed to frozen...but I used packaged noodles and a spaghetti sauce we really like. I also just kind of threw in whatever veggies we had, next time I'll add … Continue reading Very Lazy Veggie Lasagna
I love libraries so much. I love testing out books (and dvds) and then buying the ones I love. I have a horrible habit of buying books and reading them once (or only reading half of them), or having buyers remorse when I can't get into them. It's taken me almost 2 years of … Continue reading Review: Skinny Bitch: Ultimate Everyday Cookbook
I've been going to the chiropractor for 4 weeks now, and have had 8 sessions (not including the initial consultation). So far every appointment has been the same: 10 minutes on the Spinalator, and then a quick adjustment. Thoughts I love the Spinalator machine. It's basically a table with a roller in the middle of … Continue reading My Experience With The Chiropractor So Far
Let me preface this post by saying: I am *the* worst baked good decorator on the planet. I think it's a lot of fun, but I just don't have that skill. I can barely icing a cupcake without it looking it like someone smushed it on the floor. Second disclaimer: This cake is completely egg/dairy … Continue reading My First Decorated Cake That Looked Like It Was Supposed To
Last week, I started creating the habit of becoming an early riser, specifically getting up at 5am. I have to admit I'm so jealous of the people who told me that they have no problems getting up, or that they simply cannot sleep past 5. Wow, I'm really hoping I catch on to that. So … Continue reading Becoming an Early Riser — Week One Recap
I've always been a night person, and have had the worst sleeping habits. Until this past year, I've needed a tv to fall asleep. My mind would run and run, usually about the least important things, and in turn that would keep me up later than I should be. Of course, I always feel more … Continue reading An Experiment in How to Become an Early Riser
This was totally spur of the moment so I didn't take good measurements, but it came out really tasty and I think it's pretty fool proof. It's vegan and gluten free, and could probably be sugar free. I'm not a fan of any sugar really, but I've been playing around with coconut sugar lately. I … Continue reading 5 Minute Double Chocolate Protein Mush Brownie
