Minimalism. Mindfulness. Munchies.
If you’ve been paying attention to the green foodie movement at all in the past few years, you’ve heard it before: organic is good; local is better.

This morning I was woken up around 3am when my neighbor’s carpool dropped her off at home (I think she’s a nurse). I could hear them absolutely shrieking with laughter through my open bedroom window. For a second, I was annoyed at being woken up, but then a wave of gratitude washed over me...
A few years back, some close friends of mine were getting married, and while over for dinner at our house one night, they asked me what was the best thing I had registered for when I got married. I thought about it for a moment and said, “Well, aside from all my dishes and...
Last night, I made a big ole pan of Rice Krispie treats and ate two bars. Big ones. With an extra marshmallow melted on top. (‘Cause that’s how I roll.) See, I try to live by the 80/20 rule. Or, at least, that’s what I always told myself. And those Rice Krispie treats were...
