I know I’ve lamented on the annoying-ness of getting asked “but how do you get enough protein?” before, and I truly believe that you can easily get enough protein from vegetarian so...
As you’d expect, the holiday weekend did shake up my routine a little, although it wasn’t anything crazy out of the ordinary. My Tuesday, however, was more unusual. It also allowed me to ...
Happy Monday, everyone! Hopefully you’re enjoying a long weekend, filled with relaxation, friends, family, and fun! In case you didn’t notice, my blog got a much-needed facelift. All the ...
Changing your life is a scary thing. And it’s hard. It takes a lot of work, replacing bad habits with good ones, pushing yourself every single day, avoiding temptation, and figuring out what yo...
I’ve really been trying to use up what I have in the fridge, before making trips to the grocery store, in order to keep my grocery budget at an almost-reasonable level. It means I’ve been...
Sunday was G-love’s birthday, so we had a big brunch at my apartment to celebrate. I made a huge fruit salad, Galen made waffles, and we also had bacon, eggs, and mimosas. You know, typical bru...
Wednesday night was what you’d call… a salsa extravaganza. Eric and I decided to try to create a bunch of different salsa recipes, for no particular reason, other than it sounded like fun...
So far… this week has been pretty excellent! Monday, I got an e-mail back from FitFluential, and I’m officially a FitFluential Ambassador! I’m excited, because it’s such an am...
I had good intentions. I packed my running shoes. I remembered a sports bra. But no running happened. None. Does walking to the ice cream place count? I wasn’t actually surprised by my lack of ...
Wednesday night, we had completely random twitter-planned happy hour, and Ipanema Cafe handled our blogger-flock quite well (Bonus points for them, since they tweeted back to us.) Clearly, if youR...
Remember my grocery budget goal? Well I’m happy to say that I’ve been doing a much better job at working with what’s already in my kitchen, and eating out less. (That said, I’...
Despite my love of all-things-Mexcian (guacamole, tequila, and Eric), there were no crazy Cinco de Mayo celebrations over here. It was actually a relatively productive weekend, (and by productive, I ...
I’m kind of cheap. You could call it thrifty, you could call it budget conscious, but if you ask G-love, he’ll just tell you I’m plain old cheap. (Mom, if you’re reading this,...
I’d never even heard of coconut butter until I started reading blogs. I tried making my own once, and it turned out pretty badly. Not sure what happened… but since then, it’s intimi...
The past couple of weeks have been filled with excuses of why I just have to “splurge”. (New York, D.C., SweetLife Festival, etc.) but I’m trying to get back into less processed foo...
There are a few things I love about starting a new month, and one of them is that my mint.com account resets itself. I love having a fresh new budget to break work with. I’ve said it before, bu...
This weekend flew by faster than most, since Saturday was spent at the SweetLife festival, in Maryland. My friend Kate and I drove up Saturday morning, and spent the day rocking out to some fantastic...
Lately, it’s felt like my routine is more off than on, so I’ve been trying to keep things in check. It’s really difficult to stick with healthy habits when your days are packed with...
Last week was Manhattan, this week, it’s D.C.! I’m up in Northern Virginia for a couple of days for work, so it’s nothing major, but it does throw my food routine off a little bit. ...
My camera actually made the rounds with me this weekend, which means I actually have documentation from all the events! It’s crazy how much the blog-world was integrated into my weekend! Friday...
I hear this phrase all the time from one of my managers at work, and I’ve started loving it: Work smarter, not harder. I love this, because it’s all about being more efficient. I’m ...
I’m in New York for a few days, for a work conference, so I’m snapping pics like a mad-woman. I’m sure I just look like a camera crazed tourist, but that’s ok. I could have ma...
Happy Monday, friends! This weekend flew by. Friday night, I laid low thanks to allergies, but Saturday night, Eric and I attended a charity benefit for Equality Virginia, and not only was it really ...
Hi, I’m a vegetarian, and I get plenty of protein. I’m not going to go off on a rant about how I’m asked this question almost every day of my life. The fact is, I get plenty of prot...
Before I recount my day of eats… I have an important announcement! Just when you thought Sarah and I were joking with the #VAis4bloggers hashtag…we are making it reality! We love the comm...
The weekend was a bit of a blur, but lots of fun. Friday night, we went to Blow Toad, a new local pizza place. It was delicious, but unfortunately… I forgot my camera. (Or more specifically, I ...
That’s what I got, when I handed G-love his plate of stir-fry… containing quinoa. But thankfully, after convincing him to try it, he finished the whole plate (and went back for seconds) w...
Time to announce the giveaway winner for the cookie dough granola! Instead of a random number generator, I decided to let G-love do the choosing: So #17 is… Congrats, downtherabbithole6! Please...
Maybe it’s the sunshine… But I’ve been in an [extra] happy mood this week. Maybe it’s because it started off with good wine and great friends? We had an informal [VAis4blogger...
