My leftovers from Thursday night's dinner did not do the job to get me through an extra long day at work. When I walked through the door around 7pm I was greeted with a large glass of this incredible white wine we purchased on one of our adventures in Napa. I don't know if it …

The kindness of strangers
On my way home from the gym Thursday evening I walked by a woman clearly waiting for her friends or family in front of a restaurant. She looked like she had been waiting for a while and did not have a smile on her face. Even though she looked disgruntled she was wearing fantastic shoes …
When in doubt, eat bright colors
It was one of those lucky mornings where I just had a bit of sunbutter left so I made oats in a jar. Breakfast was easy because the almost empty nut butter jar was calling my name, but dinner was a different story. I got home at a reasonable time and stood in my kitchen …
Taking the Plunge
We all do it... Stray from the comfort of the known, the well-liked, the satisfying and try something new... a new restaurant that is. Last night we braved crossing the threshold of a new local eatery and were sorely disappointed. We took some friends and were lured by the promise of yummy mexican, space to …
No Need to Reinvent the Wheel
Sunday's seem to move slower than any other day of the week, but of course, they are never long enough. My laziest day of the week consisted of a pilates class, the farmer's market, grocery shopping, cleaning and cooking. With a bit more time on my hands than usual I decided to bake and cook …
Dining with the stars
Youtube stars that is! Before I could eat dinner with internet celebrities I first went for an 8 mile run. For some reason I thought it would be a good idea to run those stairs I mentioned the other day at the 6.5 mile mark in my run. It was great for my endurance training …
Not Enough Hours in the Day
I am going out on a limb here but, I am pretty sure it is safe to say that most people would agree that there are never enough hours in a day to get everything done. I am so happy with my new job, well at least my third day hasn't scared me away yet, …
A balanced bowl
While the weather so far this week has not been ideal San Francisco weather (super windy and quite chilly), the warmer weather is supposed to blow in this weekend. In honor of the springlike weather (and really just to encourage it to come my way), I made a sunshine smoothie: 1/2 cup of almond milk, …
Standing Room Only
Have you heard of this new fad of standing desks? Well, I do not have one of these new fangled contraptions that allows you to comfortably view your computer screen and type while in a standing position, but that did not stop me from creating my own version. My colitis has been acting up lately …
Thai Night
Do you find yourself with stacks of magazines and you never remember signing up for any them? Yesterday, I went through a whole bunch of magazines that I have accumulated through free trails from race registrations and pulled out the workouts and recipes before I recycled them. Now I have the essentials and I don't …
