microwave fatality

You want to know a sad sight? A box full of microwave single serve popcorn when you just blew up the darned microwave.
What a bummer.
Alanis Morrisette might call it ironic, but I think it’s just bad freakin luck. Ah well.
As you may have guessed it has been an action packed fun filled couple of days [...]

longer days!

I’m starting my day out healthy this morning with some “kind of baked” oatmeal. I say “kind of,” because I’m starting with overnight oats, which are technically already cooked. I just happen to have, ahem,  blown up the microwave last week (shhh) so I’m back to heating everything the old fashioned way again, which I [...]

thoughts of spring

One of my favorite things about cycling, running, yoga and being active in general is meeting other people that also feel passionate about such things. I mean it’s one thing to ride a bike to the beach on a warm summer weekend morning, but it is exponentially better to do it with some friends. The [...]

ups and downs

Today I’ve got some really awesome news and some not so awesome news.

Snow, more snow, and a suprise Broadway show

So I seem to have gotten real busy living all of a sudden. This is not a bad thing!
Between the usual yoga and spin classes 3-4 times a week, and now regular outings on the town with friends I find fewer and fewer evenings are spent relaxing at home.  I’m enjoying the social time but [...]

live music, dancing and snowboarding

It was another wonderful, crazy, action packed weekend topped off by a delicious brunch in the city and a Sunday night of live Brazilian music, dancing and tons of laughs with a bunch of friends.
To think, I almost didn’t go out last night.  The Brazilian bar was in Williamsburg and the G hasn’t been running [...]

Olympic Inspiration

What a treat it is to come home from an incredibly difficult hour long spin class (so hard I almost threw in the towel tonight) to a warm comfy apartment, a delicious dinner and woman’s half pipe Olympic finals. Though the day was super long and kind of arduous, I’m sticking to my training regime [...]

back to the mountain!

This morning I woke up with a crazily stiff neck, which bugged me all day long at work. Its days like today that I really could do without having to stare into a computer screen for 8 hours. To cope I took an Aleve, tried not to look to my left and counted the minutes [...]

twists and turns

It was a fun filled action packed and surprisingly awesome weekend, which accounts for the complete lack of updates on my part. What can I say, it was a little enlightening too.
I got some feedback from a good friend on the blog. She said that though she loves the recipes, she misses the content and [...]

Baked in Brooklyn!

Tonight I remembered back on my post about how much I enjoyed the granola I bought that was made here in Brooklyn. Suddenly I decided I should try granola I baked here in Brooklyn myself! Why not?
So, without further ado I set about tossing together all kinds of delicious ingredients and made some of the [...]
