I work from home so my days aren’t typically spent talking with humans but my Rowdy Boys, as I like to call them. Robbie and Atticus, our rescue pups. They follow me from room to room and settle in right next to me wherever I go. I have a standing desk set up now for […]
This week brought another stellar selection of produce in the Relay Foods Bounty Share. While I appreciate all produce equally for the unique nutritional profile they bring, there’s something uniquely special about each bounty. This week we enjoyed beautiful blueberries and perfectly ripe strawberries. I typically stick to frozen strawberries since grocery store selections leave me disappointed […]
For a good portion out of the year, I’m relying on frozen berries for my smoothies. In Baltimore, our local fruit season is short lived, one can only eat so many apples, says the apple lover. So when strawberry season rolls around, it’s adamn good day. I received the most wonderful strawberries in my Relay […]
Our week spent in Puerto Rico was nothing short of amazing, life changing even. A bit of a personal transformation went down for me on the Island of Enchantment and it’s been hard to put into words. I’m not sure it’s something that words can even quantify but I plan to find my way back […]
The version of me that exists in my head is one where I can spend a week on a tropical island and come back rejuvenated and ready to tackle any task at hand. I’ll immediately put away the suitcases upon my arrival right before heading out to the local market to replenish our stockpile of […]
{Just a warning this a bit of a read and not a complete guide to Vegan in Austin but an overview of our short time there with a few extra resources at the end } I wrote in All About Austin : Part 1 how we scored some budget tickets on Spirit to get us […]
That title might be a bit of stretch as our time spent in Austin was short but so very sweet. There’s still plenty of virgin-to-us Austin soil to explore next time we are there. It was a bit of spontaneous trip for Bryan and I, not that we left hours within booking the tickets, but more […]
I recently came across someone sharing a way for peeling a mango and my world was turned upside down. As much as I love mango, my detest for peeling and slicing them was so much of a deterrent for me that I ate them much less than I would like. Mango is Julian’s favorite fruit and […]
I was drinking a big jug of my chicory chai latte that I had chilled and I was instantly transported back to my childhood neighborhood, Country Club Hills, in the suburbs of Chicago. I took a moment to remember the summers when my Grandmother would come stay for a month and spend the days with […]
There were two times in my life when I took myself off of caffeine and experienced full-fledged caffeine withdrawal. The first was when I decided to go vegan. Up til then, my life was dependent upon my morning coffee with one tablespoon of raw sugar and a whole lotta half & half. Even though I […]
