hey guys! this salad has been like, whoa, for me the past few months. the mixture of vegetables, seeds, and toasted nuts make it feel like a bacon stuffed, guilt inducing meal that just happens to make you feel great afterwards. trust me, it’s worth a try – mostly because you won’t stop stocking the […]

a few weeks ago i was really craving some fresh fish. do you ever have random cravings like this? i went to the store to buy a little filet and the butcher looked at me and told me that it was a day to treat myself (in retrospect, this was most likely a ploy to […]

PHEW! yeezus it’s been so long (4 months!) since i last posted here. i was approached with a violent awakening when godaddy called me a few days ago to tell me that my domain had expired. later that day i heard on the radio that someone was selling their domain name for thousands of dollars. […]

hungry? eat this for a week. bah it’s so good. and easy. and perfect in every way. one night, after a long day and the gym, i came home to this. darren is such an angel sometimes. i still can’t stop talking about how good it is. and healthy. it’s so simple and pure that […]

good morning! it is monday. monday’s are so rough. they make me feel like someone’s repeatedly throwing water balloons at my head and yelling at me to get to work. things that i did this weekend: sat in the park (spring is doing sf well!), saw friends – including a much-needed catch up, ended moderate […]

strawberries cont’d.. i felt it only appropriate to post this the day after yesterday’s. since yesterday’s recipe is this recipe’s mother, they go together like chocolate and peanut butter. this is a sweeter, tangier version of yesterday’s. the day after our german meal i went to the farmers market and bought a bag of micro-greens. […]

guten tag! funny thing.. in the time that it took me to write this i had two people asking for an update. gotta love my family – shout out to mol (sister) and grandma! you guys are stellar. i’ve been kind of in a stress-rut. work, if you will. i’ve been essentially living off soy […]

hi friends! pals of the outer world. i’ve spent the past six months exploring the world of food, experimenting with ingredients and products that i’ve never seen and have truly had the best time sharing it with you. this post includes two recipes that derive from the same origin – citrus. when i was little i went to a […]

i did something crazy. i made kombucha. and then i read a bunch of articles, and a friend told me that back during kombucha prohibition home-crafted kombucha started making people sick, and i went through this journey of why (and if i got sick, how would i know? like the natural hypochondriac that i am). […]

rarely do darren and i have a chance to just spend a weekend away, exploring the outer-world (outside of sf). a few weekends ago we had the opportunity and it was completely fantastic – who doesn’t love a trip that you can take with your dog? follow my lead.. directions for our trip can be found here.
