This isn’t “Brunch” because I feel like brunch happens when you have a late breakfast/early lunch. But, I had my usual breakfast and then wanted eggs for lunch. I scrambled up: onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, salsa and a little bit of spinach with egg beaters for this mix. Served with a ww tortilla for scooping. No surprise that it’s served…

Fourth of July Desserts
I love the Fourth of July! I love the U.S., I love bar-b-ques and I love the summer!!! Oh, and the fireworks aren’t too shabby either 😉 Plus, I love cooking and I love that I’m now close to family, so I have people to cook for (and I’m not left eating everything myself)!

Guacamole Time!
Guacamole time should be every day. I think America should have Guac Time, like England has tea time. Who’s in? Today I used our abundant supply of avocados to make Monica’s Famous Guacamole. Unfortunately, this recipe really is an “eyeball it” to measure kinda recipe, so it’s not easy for me to give specific amounts. But, I can tell you…

Thank you all for your well wishes with my move. I really appreciate it! www.nataliedee.com I had the best of intentions with my snacks today, but I caved.

Flat Ass Run
I rocked the heck out of my run today. I’d like to credit the California smog air, but I know it’s really because it is so flat here. Flat routes = fast runs! We ended up stayed awake super late last night hanging out with my brother and his girlfriend. They picked us up from the airport around 10:30pm and…

California Here I Come…
“Right back where I started from….” Ben and I joke that I am a lot like Lucy from “I Love Lucy”. I have red hair, am pretty loud and am constantly coming up with new crazy ideas. It’s true. But that’s why you guys stick around right? All day long I’ve been singing “California here I come, right back where…
