All Things New

April 30, 2009

I spent the afternoon tasting my new yummies…
 
I started with the Manitoba Harvest Dark Chocolate Hemp Protein.

Hemp protein powder is very…earthy. The dark chocolate in this brand was very subtle, but just enough to cover the…well, dirt-like taste of hemp protein. I used it in a smoothie with Living Harvest unsweetened vanilla hemp milk, [...]

The Best Uncooked Food Ever

April 30, 2009

Christie and I had a BLAST at lunch. We went to Grassroots, an all organic vegetarian/vegan/raw restaurant. They have it pretty easy…I mean, they barely even have to cook anything! But seriously the food is delicious.
 
We wanted to order the “Sabrina’s Favorite Sandwich” (which I got here and here) but the raw onion bread wasn’t [...]

Celebrate, We Will…

April 30, 2009

Hey guys! Sorry about my absence and less than normal posts the past few days. I finished up with exams on Tuesday night and drove home right after, getting home at around midnight.
 
Yesterday I attended Jenna’s brother’s Celebration of Life Service. It was such a beautiful service and Jenna and her family were so [...]

Happy Birthday Raleigh!

April 29, 2009

 

My little ball of fur is two today. But I guess that’s like 14 in dog years. Uh-oh, I don’t know if this house can handle another teenager…
 
Raleigh is such a special pup, unique in her own little way….
 
Kinda quirky, just like me…

 
But sweet as can be…

It’s love…

“I long for lazy days of Summertime…”

April 27, 2009

Check that song out..It’s called Salty Air by Bitter:sweet. Basically the soundtrack of my day.
 
One exam down and one to go! In 24 hours I will be taking my last final of the semester and heading on home for Summer. Mmm, I can taste it now.
 
I left for Gainesville around 1:00pm. Vera Bradley [...]

It’s the final countdown….

April 27, 2009

Morning guys!
 
This morning started bright and early at 6:30 am. I always love to wake up before the sun comes out. Something is just very satisfying about that. Weird…
 
I practically sprinted to the kitchen for breakfast. I was starvacious. What? It’s a word.

I don’t think I will ever get sick of this [...]

Sunday is my favorite flavor.

April 26, 2009

Around lunchtime, we whipped out the Wild Mushroom Agnolotti  by Buitoni that Foodbuzz sent last week.

As much as I love pasta, I really have to be “in the mood” for it. Daddy-o cooked it on the stove, just boiling it for a few minutes, and topped it with some EVOO and basil. The family ate [...]

My Backyard

April 26, 2009

This is why I love Tampa…

I left bright and early for a bike ride this morning and went down to Bayshore Boulevard (in the last two pictures), which by the way is the world’s longest continuous sidewalk, thank you very much. It was so beautiful that I had to stop and take [...]

A Heavy Heart

April 25, 2009

This morning I woke up and went about my day as usual. I hopped out of bed at 6:30am, got dressed, and had breakfast…
 
 
It was then I learned of the devastating passing of Jenna’s brother, John. My heart is heavy with sadness for her and her family. I can’t even begin to imagine what they [...]

There’s HUMMUS Among Us!

April 24, 2009

Elissa from Sonny & Joe’s Hummus was kind enough to send me some samples of their goods.

Holy Hummus! Whenever we make/buy/eat hummus at our house, my dad inevitably starts yelling “There’s hummus among us!” Well, there is DEFINITELY hummus among us.  I didn’t know where to begin. When in doubt, go with the spicy [...]
