Healthy Lunch Ideas – Make Your Lunch Great!

  Afternoon! It’s Monday again, and tonight is erev Pesach (the first night of Passover). I’m sad that I’m not going to be home with my family this year – this is the first seder that will be at my grandmother’s new house, and I’m sorry to miss the occasion. Mostly I’ll miss my family, [...]

I love springtime! This morning I waited for my farm box to arrive. I haven’t been able to go to the farmers’ market for the past few weeks, so Ive been relying on the farm box for my source of fresh, seasonal vegetables to remind me that spring is really here! While I waited, I [...]

This morning I woke up for the second week in a row where I just didn’t feel like going to yoga- at first I chalked it up to daylight savings, but I think I need to just suck it up and go.  I’ve been having a rough time exercising these past few weeks, and for [...]

Today I had two separate experiences across the bay! The first stop was to put some of our extra things in our storage in Hayward. Afterwards, we opted for lunch in Rockridge – including a quick stop at Market Hall – the place where I first got Rancho Gordo beans, so it holds a fond [...]

Evening everyone! I’m writing this as I watch some particularly mind-numbing television including a couple of ANTM episodes, and currently the reality series “High Society” on the CW. My brain is about to explode. After I got over my morning rain blues, I ate some breakfast: Jook – Korean rice porridge. I’m a sucker for [...]

Things I have done today: 1. One load in the dishwasher. 2. Dr. Oz, Andrew Zimmern. 3. Coffee. 4. Pouting at the weather. But enough of that, let’s take note of last nights absolutely awesome dinner! Homemade Black Bean Soup, a few pieces of Cochinita Pibil, a fried egg, and a nice crusty piece of [...]

This morning was a quiet one – I read for a little while, got done some errands, and finally sat down to a late breakfast. My theory is better late than never – particularly because if I don’t eat breakfast, when I get to lunch, I’m ravenous, and I’ll crave lunch foods and overeat. It’s [...]
