Valentines Day is less than a month away. If you don’t subscribe to Valentines Day, then I think February is a smashing time to buy yourself a gift to say I love you. I know I am going to. These items from Etsy, an online artisan handmade marketplace, have recently crossed my path and they […]

So here is my constant conundrum: I love boutique produce, I see it in various places, wonder about its virtues and flavor and there it sits, priced higher than its nearby counterparts and this inner dialogue begins. How much is that? Why does it think I’ll pay that much for it? How dare they charge […]

Snacking is addictive…healthful snacking is like volunteering…good for everyone involved. Sahale snacks have stolen my heart (turned me into an addict, see this earlier Post). They have a new nut blend that I wanted to share. Imagine if you will, pecans, cherries, walnuts and apples encrusted in maple and scented with cinnamon. They are crunchy, […]

Happy Meatless Monday. Today we are celebrating the most civilized of all meals, champagne brunch. I love champagne and I love brunch. Together they create an experience, a coming of age for breakfast. Brunch is more like a beloved guest you would invite rather than just the meal you would consume. It is fancy and […]

Have you had enough holiday cheer to drive you into an asylum? We just watched two very funny movies about Christmas that I wanted to share. If you could use a good laugh and the opportunity to turn off your family overloaded, over sugared, under rested brain for a few hours….these movies may be for […]

One of my favorite snack foods has always been chips and queso dip. I take comfort in the act of dipping. I love the heat and the flavor. There is something otherworldly about a salty tortilla chip with hot cheesy orange sauce. I even loved the not-really-even-nachos from stadiums and church fairs. I have tried […]

While we were in Stuart, we went to a new store called Fresh Market. The town was abuzz with the arrival of their new upscale food retailer. As we ambled through the crowded store I thought, “This was worth the wait. I could love it here.” The aisles were swollen with fresh and unusual foods. […]

Yesterday we ran our very last long run before the race. We waited for the warmest part of the day which didn’t ever come or exist. It was 30ish under a dark and gray sky. It was difficult to leave the warmth of the Veggie Van but we are at the very end of our […]

I have seen these nuts at least a half dozen times and have been intrigued. Their packaging is alluring which is a draw for me. I threw them in the cart this time. They are wildly delicious so I wanted to share. Sahale has several nut blends to choose from, but I went right for […]

Most days (every single day) I wake up hungry and ready to break the fast. I hunger for serious nourishment. Not a banana in the KIA on my way to work kind of thing, but something I can eat with a utensil that requires more attention than a Pop-tart. Time is always valuable and usually […]
