Blame It On The Food

I’ve never considered myself an athlete. I mean, in high school I took “walking class,” and later landed the position of softball team “manager” (read: sit on a bench). But by all the irony in the universe, around the time I turned 18 I discovered that I absolutely loved distance running.

Farmer’s Market Love

Reason #3,378? MEGA LETTUCE, of course. I love farmer’s markets. Seriously. The local food, uber-freshness factor, ideal seasonality and specialty crops keep me coming week after week. But today my trip to the farmers market today wasn’t just good, it was downright mega. Why? Because I think I may have personally bought the biggest lettuce […]

In short, it’s perfect.   After eight days of waiting, I officially harvested my first batch of kombucha, after a five year hiatus of doing the make it at home thing (and while also developing a very expensive […]

Embracing Healthy Traditions

And there it was again, Christmas morning. My dad was making waffles, just like he has every year since I was little. I watched as he whipped up the batter, adding cinnamon and “secret spices” to make his signature recipe. I watched as he threw the mix into the waffle maker, and in 4 minutes […]
