No joke. I’ve been a zombie for the last six weeks. I’ve practically assigned myself to bed rest. Beyond work, where I’ve barely moved from my chair (wish I could motorize it to move me from meeting to meeting). When I get home I’m on the couch till around 7:30 PM, at which time I [...]

Crying my eyes out. That’s what I was doing five years ago. I had been in Phoenix for 3 days, having moved from Texas and the reality distance and space from my friends and family had set in.
I had an amazing little routine going in Dallas. I’d talk to my girlfriends so much that it [...]

Admittedly, I get myself worked into a frenzy when there are harvestable items in Arizona. I don’t want to hash out old news, but for those of you who have visited my blog from time to time, you’ll recall my citrus bandit phase this past spring.
I’m trying to control it, but it is prickly pear [...]

It was a 1 1/2 years ago that I was introduced to Apple Butter. I had never heard of it, never had and OMG, I don’t know that I’ve had something tastier to put on a biscuit. For this whole time, I thought Apple Butter was a seasonal specialty that had to be acquired from [...]

Do you prefer the sunrises or the sunsets? I’m a morning person, but I don’t necessarily like sunrises. I’m defiantly not a night person, but I love sunsets. Typically I’m up early on the weekends, in the kitchen, on my computer, drinking coffee and mentally putting my day together.
What I do on a weekend morning [...]

I’ve tried to like hippie peanut butter! You know the all natural no high fructose corn syrup kind. I can’t do it. I’ve tried countless brands, I’ve tried different peanut butter partners like: honey, jam, bananas and apples. No matter what I do I can’t adopt natural peanut butter.
I love peanut butter!
The other thing I [...]
Posted in Breakfast and Brunch, coffee on Sep 7th, 2008
It’s been 18 months since I decided to start drinking coffee; Daily. I’ve got to say there are more days that I’m happy for my morning ritual than days that I’m frustrated at the grinding, prepping and brewing of my coffee.
But I’ve also crossed that line where I get really thrown off if my morning [...]

This is the first Holiday in a LONG time that I haven’t gone crazy being away from the office. I’ve taken extended time off, almost a whole two weeks. Yes, I have checked in a few times, but not obsesevely.
What’s been keeping me busy? Family, friends and a new venture I’ll reveal more about later.
In [...]

If you’re anything like me around the holidays, your schedule is full, your days are busy and you’re enjoying the hustle and bustle of the season. The other night I was out for sushi and guess what was on the radio all ready…you guessed it…Christmas music.
And this is the time of year when my spice [...]

I’ve said it before. I don’t like breakfast all that much, but I somehow am incapable of skipping a meal. I’m always shocked when I hear someone say, “I was too busy and I forgot/didn’t have time for lunch.”
Or my favorite skipping a meal excuse, “Oh, I had some almonds and some trail mix.” Really, [...]
