You know, I didn’t think we were going to have a white Christmas this year, but boy was I sure wrong. Murphy’s Law: You will get a snow storm right before you make the long drive home in your car that sucks in snow. Murphy’s Law #2: Your car battery will die with a trunk [...]

      Merry Christmas! I hope you are enjoying your day. We woke up to a beautiful sunny day with a fresh blanket of snow here at my in laws. It’s a white Christmas after all. Everyone has finally arrived now so I better sign off. Hope you have a great holiday!

My goal for the last few weeks of summer is to spend more time outdoors. This hopefully means more trips to farmer’s markets, dining al fresco, swimming in lakes, iced tea on patios, and long late night walks. It’s been an intense, but satisfying, couple of months working like crazy on my summer book recipes [...]

On Tuesday, we had the pleasure of lunching at True Food Kitchen at the Biltmore Fashion Park in Phoenix. Many of you recommended it on the blog and on my Facebook page (thank you!), so we figured it was a safe bet. I later found out that the famous Dr. Andrew Weil (along with restaurateur [...]

August 24, 2011 UPDATE! Hey guys! It was brought to my attention yesterday that my new blog posts are not showing up for some people. This was likely due to a caching plug-in that we installed last weekend. For those not seeing new posts- you will need to clear your cache in YOUR browser. How [...]

Last night’s Birthday bash was a good time! I was a bit slow moving when I got up this morning, but it was nothing a little juice, water, hot yoga, and Union Square Café Bar Nuts couldn’t fix… Eric asked me to make the famous Union Square Café Bar Nuts -a double batch! Everyone always [...]
