Everyday Pantry Staples

February 28, 2010

I thought I’d show you what I like to keep on hand to keep my pantry. Even in Paris, I find myself gravitating towards the same basic staples that I’ve been eating for years.
 
I’m a simple girl, really. Nothin’ too fancy in  my pantry, just lots of healthy food that I really enjoy eating. That’s [...]

Food and Yoga; My two favorite things.

February 26, 2010

Last night my roommate and I ventured out to have dinner at a restaurant suggested to us by several of our friends called Le Cambodge. We left early partly because we heard that quite the line can build up at this restaurant before it opens and partly because it was a beautiful evening and we [...]

Butter and Frenglish and All Things Paris

February 25, 2010

I had a thought this morning as I ate my petit déjeuner, squealing with delight over my simple little slice of GF toast with French butter and Bonne Maman…

French Butter - Could it, in fact, be the answer to world peace? There I sat, savoring every bite of my fried eggs and toast with creamy, [...]

Et Voila! Soup!

February 24, 2010

I woke up yesterday morning with that dreaded “tickle” in the back of my throat. You know the one – It’s subtle, but it’s never a good sign of good things to come. After cursing the sick people roaming around Paris spreading their germs I headed straight to the kitchen to chug some Vitamin C, [...]

Airing My Dirty Laundry

February 23, 2010

Mondays are always fun. The last remnants of that glorious weekend feeling are wearing off (well, not so much in my case – my calves and hiney are still sore from all those walks I took!), and the reality of a new week is setting in which means there are several tasks that need to [...]

The Olive Man, and other tales from the weekend.

February 21, 2010

I was so excited to share my day with you yesterday. I had spent my morning wandering through Marché Saxe-Breteuil, one that is quickly becoming my favorite in Paris. Every time I go, I drool over the amazing produce and prepared foods, and especially this one stand in particular. They sell olives and other Mediterranean [...]

The Plan That Wasn’t

February 19, 2010

I’m a day person. Mornings are my thing. Yep, I’m one of those obnoxious morning people that wakes up chipper and ready to go, bouncing off the walls and singing whatever song I wake up with in my head.
 
Nights? Not so much. I always joke that I turn into a pumpkin around midnight. I’ve [...]

Ask Me Anything

February 18, 2010

I’ve jumped on the bandwagon (why lead when you can follow! Kidding, of course.).
 
What!? All the cool kids are doin’ it.
 
I’ve already gotten several questions on my Ask Me Anything page, one in which someone asked me about what kind of beauty products I use to wash my face and such. Health is [...]

Once upon a time, there was a young girl living in Paris…

February 17, 2010

She had spent the day perusing the market, nervously ignoring the stares, and the kisses being blown from the creepy produce guy at the bio stand. Vous êtes Américaine? he asked between his obnoxious whistling and taking her money for the red bell peppers that were too pretty to pass up.
 
“Oui, Je suis étudiant.” [...]
