'Tis the season to be jolly - and on the move! Who else has been crazy busy? Ever since I got home from my vacation a couple of weeks ago (more on that coming soon!), I feel like things have been go-go-go... though covering 4 cities in 3 countries was wonderfully on-the-go too. Between wrapping up end of the year work, holiday shopping and get togethers, and all of the usual busyness, I've been going a mile a minute. Oh, and throw a wildfire close to my house + being super jet-lagged and not feeling great for a week into the mix, and things have been a bit of a whirlwind. Luckily I've adjusted to west coast time, just in time to be setting off on my next trip in just a couple days. The end of my year worked out to be travel heavy, but no complaints here. I'm looking forward to ... [Read More]

They're rich in fiber, protein, folic acid, and a slew of ... [Read More]
A Yummy Sunday Lunch: Greek Pasta Salad, Spicy Salsa & Yogurt + Cream Cheese Fruit Dip
A very fun weekend is coming to an end! The only thing that put a damper on my weekend was the NY Giants just losing to the Eagles, especially because my hubby is a gloating Philadelphia fan! I guess I can't blame him though, I would certainly do the same if the Giants had pulled out a win. ;-) This afternoon we had a few special guests over for lunch - my girlfriend Angi, her hubby John, and their adorable 3-month old baby girl Zoie. I've talked about Angi on my blog before. She was one of the first women I met when I moved out to San Diego. I thought she was an awesome person within a few minutes of meeting her, and she's been my close friend ever since. Last year her Marine hubby got stationed in Arizona, so now she doesn't live quite as close. I haven't seen her in awhile and miss ... [Read More]
