Thank you to those of you who have sent well wishes with the recent San Diego fires. Our house is fine for now, but I’m sending thoughts and prayers to everyone affected. You can see the smoke from the freeway, and it’s heartbreaking to hear of those who have had to evacuate their homes. Snack…

HIIT the Hill Workout
I’ve got a HIIT treadmill workout for you today! It’s appropriately name “HIIT the Hill” because you’ll be changing up both your incline and speed on the treadmill. It’s a good, sweaty cardio! Meanwhile, I’m still on a mission to find the best acai bowl in San Diego. 😉 Nekter Juice Bar brought it strong…

Last week we talked about artichokes. Today, let’s talk one of the world’s favorite (kinda stinky) greens: KALE! Kale is a nutrient-packed powerhouse and yields some fantastic dietary benefits including iron, Vitamin K, calcium, and an antioxidant boost. It’s funny to think that something I wasn’t crazy about at first attempt is now one of…

Hi 🙂 How’s your afternoon treating you? I hope it had at least one moment that felt like this: Oh Bell. So much joy and sass for a tiny pup. Livi and I had a great morning, and then around noon, we went to go see Kyle and Meg’s new house. They moved this weekend…

Blood Orange, Beet and Basil Salad
So I had a crazy flashback while making this blood orange salad. I was standing in the restaurant in 105degrees, in my little cheffer outfit, segmenting an entire bucket of blood oranges. It was my first time working with the citrus, so naturally I was astonished by the bright, bold color. I used the orange…
