It’s time that I explain why I LOVE coconut and use it in so many of my recipes. I wasn’t always a coconut lover. In fact I thought it was bad for you! But while studying nutrition I quickly learned that if there’s one thing we could all benefit from eating, it’s coconut [and avocado,…

I can’t believe a month has past since I started working with my running coach. Oh how time flies when you’re not having fun. I kid. Even though there are days where I feel like nothing has improved, deep down I know that I have made huge progress since starting this journey in August. haha…

I love taking photos of my food but never, never like this. I couldn’t get enough of this breakfast dish that I ended up having for lunch + bedtime snack yesterday. Anyone care to share their tricks on how to get sticky goop off casserole dishes? It’s been soaking since 1pm yesterday. Caution: this recipe…

My day off yesterday was awesome! Sometimes we all just need a day to lay low and recharge. I didn’t get to take pictures of the cow’s but the farmer said they’d be back out tomorrow so I’ll try again then [they were too far away from the fence!]. One of the activities I was…

I never in a million years thought I would ever be interested in marathon training. Yet here I am, 6 months after tearing my patella(s), accomplishing the long recovery, pushing myself to the max, all with this large end goal. As with learning anything new, there’s bound to be a couple of bumps along the…

I can’t stop marveling at the weather change and how much sun I’ve been able to soak up since Sunday. I’ve even planned an outdoor long run for Saturday morning. I vote for no more snow until next winter, anyone with me? [It usually snows in May but I’m hopeful that this year will be…

I got to catch up with Sona yesterday afternoon over a hot cup of tea at a Starbucks in Inglewood. The original plan was to hit up Wildernest Dream Cafe but they were closed. It’s been a year since I’ve heard of the place but have yet to visit. Eh, what’s another couple months? Sona…

How is it that this weekend seemed to fly by even quicker than the last? I did get a bunch of stuff done yesterday, which is good, including a bit of our taxes. I’m still regretting leaving it until the very last minute + not keeping things as organized as I should have. Here’s to…

Kevin and I watched TiMER [2009] yesterday. Leave it up to Kevin to come home with a movie that no one has heard of [or was I just left in the dark on this one?] Basically, the movie is about a society that builds a timing devise that will tell the user the exact time…
