new jersey eats

So far, I have eaten tofu ... ... pizza ... ... and pasta. (Apparently, I'm on vacation from gluten-free eating. I couldn't...

guess where I am?

I'll give you a hint. (Saw this poster when I was walking/limping to the car after the SF Half last July. Thought it was hilarious...

tough job

Back to it again this morning. The big wine event was at the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone, and after the barrel tasting,...

good reasons

So I missed a post -- my first since the start of the year. My excuse? It's showtime in the Napa Valley, and as a wine PR girl, I've...

perfect pairings

Meep and Mari. So cute on their own, but extra-fantastic, out-of-control adorable when they pose together. Gluten-free Girl's Roasted...

floored

So tired right now. I think yesterday's trail run, coupled with allergies, has totally worn me out....

and so we return

Met up with Neveia this morning for our first trail run in more than month. Our route? Foothill Regional Park -- a small park with...

in sum

It snowed -- not at our house, of course, but in the hills. So strange to look up and see a dusting of white. We went to the city....

snug as a bug

Busy night ahead, so I'm posting now. It's cold here, and still raining. And if I were an orange cat, I'd stay under the blankets,...

cheers

And so begins the weekend....

cloudburst

Rain all day, and the back patio has started to look like a small lake....

the slow road

Tomorrow marks the three-week point since the sprain. I can't believe it's taking this long to recover. Yes, I'm running again,...

book club

I recently finished reading this book by Shauna James Ahern, the voice behind the Gluten-free Girl blog -- possibly the best-known,...

happy hearts

I'm not big on Valentine's Day. If you love someone, why not celebrate 365 days a year, instead of just Feb. 14? It seems silly...

define 'gift'

I was all set to write about celebrating Shaya's birthday. (This pic of the birthday girl is from when we were at Daikokuya in...

going green

If Kermit the Frog were a muffin, what would he look like? Yup, that's right -- made Spinach Quinoa Muffins tonight. (Note: They're...

kitten belly

I couldn't resist....

all wrapped up

I like to think of it as a present with a whole lot of healing inside. Ran three miles this evening without any problems!...

blame the cuboid

I love my physical therapist. After a wiggle here and a wiggle there, a little flex and point and squat action, and some poking...

gluten-free pizza

And the experimentation continues: Tonight I tried Udi's gluten-free pizza crust. I was pretty hungry and didn't want to spend a...

from the kitchen

The best benefit of my nutrition consultation? Experimentation and variety. That appointment was a wake-up call for me: I was...

spectating

Since I couldn't run Kaiser, I decided to be the best spectator I could possibly be. So I made signs. It was so awesome to watch...

bruised

I checked my ankle this morning and discovered a bruise. It's a small one, and it's faint, but it's there. No half marathon for me...
