Avocado! That’s right. We’re putting avocado in the blender this morning ’cause we’re making a chocolate avocado smoothie for breakfast. Aren’t you excited?! I’m excited too. See, I’ve never used avocado in a smoothie before because avocados usually don’t make it past salads, bean burritos or stay-at-home burrito bowls around here. But today, half an … Read more
So What Are We Putting in the Blender Today?
January 31st, 2012 | Posted by in Breakfast - (7 Comments)This week, the girls and I found ourselves in front of a Vitamix blender demonstration at Wegmans. As I slurped down the scary delicious “Carrot Cake Sorbet” sample that Vitamix Demo Man handed me, I immediately began wishing I had an extra $500 bucks laying around to buy this miracle machine that did something amazing … Read more
A few things to tell you today. One: Banana, kiwi and diced oranges make the best fruit salad. EVER. I want to weep when I look at this simple salad and remember how amazing it was. But then again I weep when the Disney World commercials play on Hulu during The Biggest Loser, so take … Read more

I’m trying to make peace with the fact that early morning outdoor exercise is soon to be a relegated to the weekends. For the first time since early spring I busted out the pink hat (you know, the hat I knit myself) and gloves for a morning walk/run today. More walking than running this morning, … Read more

I seem to be on a pancake kick recently – but ’tis the season for warm breakfasts after all! Let’s roll with it. After I spied a small zucchini hanging out in the fridge this morning and feeling very much in the mood for something substantial after an early morning bike ride, I decide to … Read more
How to Make a Rockin’ Birthday Breakfast
September 15th, 2011 | Posted by in Party Time - (6 Comments)September 15, 2011 started out a lot like September 15, 2006. Everyone asleep. Well, everyone but me. Waking up Zak and telling him it was time to go. Getting dressed and moving around with hushed voices, get ready to leave the house in the wee hours of the morning. The cat meowing and meowing and … Read more
