Wellness Wednesday

I have been meaning to post recipes here, but life and such has been getting in the way. I have a few recipes photographed and they simply need to be edited and posted.  But but but but…
Anyway, it has been unbelievably hot in Los Angeles these days and my brain doesn’t always function fully when [...]

Wellness Wednesday

Last week The Sous Chef and I along with a friend took a road trip up north. We left our dog with our trusted friend Mr. B who has a dog of his own Tucker. It is nice to have friends who have dogs who can dogsit while you are gone and vise versa.

Wellness Wednesday

A couple of weeks ago the Los Angeles Times ran the article Better Sleep, Better Living, which I found very interesting.  I meant to blog about the subject matter for that week’s Wellness Wednesday.  However, I ended up blogging about the post-election chaos in Iran instead, as it was heavily on my mind.

Wellness Wednesday: The Sisterhood Award

Today’s Wellness Wednesday is all about appreciation, rewarding those I enjoy, and passing on the love.
A little while ago one of my favorite bloggers Mely from Mexico in my Kitchen, whom I first became aware of when she left a comment on one of the first dishes that I made,  surprised me with The Sisterhood [...]

Wellness Wednesday

A couple of weeks ago I was doing my favorite exercise: surfing, the web that is.  I came across a blog, which I can’t for the life of me remember which one it was, where there was a post about the decline in the bumble bee population.  Then last week I was curled up salivating [...]

Wellness Wednesday

Last week Elena on her Wellness Wednesday post blogged candidly about cooking while being upset at her partner and how she soon realized that she was transferring her inner feelings on to the salad that she was making.
