I’m obviously into bars lately… no, not THAT kind! The kind you eat… muesli bars like these chocolate chip orange muesli bars. Mark did give Theda a start the other day though, when he was describing our evening at the “tapas” bar with friends last Friday night. He was eating a muffin as he spoke …
It’s back to school time for most of us moms… anyone doing a happy dance?? I have to admit I’m not!! While I thrive on routine, I do miss my kiddos during the day. And I hate waking up their sleepy little heads when the little hand on the clock is pointing to 5… But I …
You wouldn’t think a 95% vegan would come away from a 24-hour stay at The Farm feeling so refreshed, rejuvenated, and revitalised as I did… but I did!! The Farm at San Benito is a spa resort about an hour and a half south of Manila, and their mantra is “Nurture Yourself from Within.” They …
Hello friends, we’re back in the groove… of school, bootcamp, life!! It feels good. Waking up at 4:30 doesn’t feel too good, though, but that’s what it takes for me to get myself together and have coffee & quiet time before getting the kids up at 5. It’s early! But I try not to complain, …
I’ll be honest, I wait as long as possible before going to the grocery store after I arrive back home to Manila. It’s just not a pleasure like it is in the U.S. You ex-pats know what I’m talking about… Luckily for me, I normally keep enough food in my pantry to sustain us through …
Do you ever have food nostalgia from what you ate on vacation? I do. I sigh over all those US raspberries… blueberries… cherries… Haas avocados… Ezekiel brand English muffins… tempeh… WHOA… hold the phone… what the heck is TEMPEH?? I know, right?? I ate it for the first time about 2 years ago, and was put …
Hello friends, long time no blog! It’s been over 2 weeks since I last posted… it seems like forever!! I even planned ahead for this time period by creating recipes, doing photo shoots, editing pictures, etc. I have recipes in my laptop cookbook and a stock of beautiful photos ready to go in my Media …
Howdy, y’all! I’m in Texas, so this greeting just comes naturally. I’ve been away from the blog for awhile, because we’ve been visiting friends and family, and I have to say, my baby nephew is so completely adorable and charming that I haven’t sat down at my computer one single time. And I’m not even …
It’s July, friends, and US grocery stores are just bursting with summer blueberries. I wonder if this in honour of US Independence Day on July 4? I’m not really sure, and I’m not sure I care either… as long as I can get my fill of blueberries for the duration of my stay here… and …
Hi folks! It’s the middle of summer and who has time to go to the gym? Who even wants to go to the gym with all this sunshine outside? So let’s go to the park with our kids and get our workout there. And if you don’t have kids, just pretend you do, and go anyway! …
