After a marvelous weekend celebrating Mark’s and my 5th anniversary, I didn’t dread the workweek too terribly. Mondays become Tuesdays soon enough, and today was a balmy, yet beautiful, sunny day. When I returned home from work Friday evening, Mark had my gift on the table, along with some beautiful pink roses. Since wood is…

Awesome Workout + WIAW #25
After a less-than-fantastic day at work (in a nutshell: unexpected lay-offs that affected one of my officemates and a few people I’ve gotten to know around the facility), I did have an awesome workout at gymnastics. I guess a lot of people were out for spring break, so the gym was pretty empty. I did some…
Color Me Rad
This past weekend was absolutely beautiful—and it was our very first 5K! Bright and early Saturday morning, Mark and I downed spinach/fruit smoothies and drove to the fairgrounds for Color Me Rad. There were tons of people there! We ran the 9:20 wave, which began right on time. Though we didn’t run the entire way, we…
Mirko Pasta Review
Several weeks ago, Mark and I decided to try a new restaurant called Mirko Pasta. Originating in Atlanta, Mirko Pasta is a Southeastern chain, with a focus on traditional, fresh pasta and quality ingredients. In my experience, Mobile doesn’t have an abundance of high-quality Italian restaurants. Sure, we’ve had fantastic pizza at La Pizzeria, but…
A Week of Vegan Dinners (WIAW #24)
Today’s What I Ate Wednesday is a little different, as it highlights 6 different dinners rather than one single day of meals. Though I’d intended to prepare an entire week’s worth of vegan meals, trying the newly-opened Moe’s Original Barbecue (pretty tasty!) and visiting New Orleans on Saturday (when seafood beckons, you answer it!) got…
French Quarter Fest + MIMM #6
Hello, blog world! I don’t know about you, but I had to drag myself out of bed for work this morning. Yesterday was dreary and rainy (so much so that I stayed in my pajamas all day), but Saturday was action-filled and marvelously beautiful, so let’s focus on that. We left the house around 8:00…
Meeting Goals, Eating Pork, and Playing Hooky
Because everybody needs a “mental health day” (and because we both woke up not feeling well) Mark and I stayed home from work today. We crawled back into bed after our showers, and it was wonderful sleeping late, cuddling with the dog, and staying in our pajamas most of the day. After I started feeling…
A Falafel Failure + WIAW #23
This week (M-F) Mark and I have been eating completely vegan dinners (expect a wrap-up next week), and next up on our list was homemade falafel. I absolutely love falafel (next to my beloved hummus, it’s the best vehicle for chickpeas, though roasted chickpeas are a close third), but I’ve never made it myself. Because…
Raw, Vegan Zucchini “Pasta” and Marinara
This weekend I decided it was time to break out the julienne peeler, a stocking stuffer from my husband this past Christmas (yes, he pays attention, even to my lists). I have to say, it’s one of the best inventions ever! I’ve long wanted to try zucchini “pasta,” especially since reading blogs like one of…
Food Bloggers Against Hunger
I didn’t know about this event until this afternoon (after it had already gone live), but I still wanted to participate by sharing a post devoted to hunger. A few weeks ago, I reviewed the documentary, A Place at the Table (which can be viewed in your city or on demand at iTunes), and shared…
