Today I was working with: lentils, rice, tomato paste and stewed tomatoes. I considered making the Lentil Loaf I made a year ago (blogs are so cool in how you can keep track of that stuff!). But, I decided to wing it instead of using a recipe. I figured I would cook the lentils, mix them up with tomato sauce…

Not the full story
The pictures of my eats today definitely don’t show the full story. I had this “third grade lunch” of PB&J, carrots and yogurt. But – I added hummus to the carrots and chia seeds & cereal to the yogurt too! Then, I went for a long walk to enjoy this amazing weather we’re having 🙂 It makes me happy. When…

Hot Sauce Love
I only discovered my love for hot sauce in the last two years. Even though I grew up in Pico Rivera (where there was an earthquake this morning!!!), in a Mexican household that was never short on salsa or Tapatio I always stayed away from anything remotely hot.

French Fries and Cookies
I love walking around health food stores and checking out all the goods. I can spend hours in places like WF or my local Mom’s Organic Market. I can also spend way too much money on all that good stuff!! I scored a nice sample of granola while walking around the store… It was so good I really considered buying…

Lunch at Costco
This afternoon I met up with Elisabeth of Jogger’s Life for a trip to ULTA. I had never been there before and was so impressed with that place. I definitely need to go back! Today I only bought Nair, so I’m sure Elisabeth’s initial impression of me is: “hairy”. I swear there’s more to me than that! Kinda. After our…
