Ever since we drove by its humble location in a strip mall, I’ve been dying to try YAK The Kathmandu Kitchen. We’ve always managed to “forget” about the restaurant when deciding where to dine out, but after reading this article about their upcoming expansion, I decided right then and there that we would finally try…

Weekly Links 09.28.14
Happy Sunday! After several beautiful, cool, fall-like days, today is kind of dreary. We’re staying around the house prepping lots of frozen meals to have on hand for when Baby M arrives. When I say “we,” I mean “Mark.” Yesterday we had some yummy lunch at Cousin Vinny’s (pizza) in Daphne and stumbled upon the…
Weekly Links 09.22.14
If anybody was wondering, today was definitely a classic case of the Mondays. Ugh. I’m counting down the minutes till October 3rd! I’m a day late sharing my weekly reads, but this weekend was busy. Saturday was a lot of fun (although it was hot and I experienced the worst pregnancy-related foot swelling to date)…
COCOZIA Organic Coconut Water Review + A Smoothie Recipe
About a year ago I tried COCOZIA Organic Coconut Water for the first time—and loved it. Naturally, I was extremely excited to try the new 16.9-ounce containers I received recently from Epicurex LLC. Ever since I was a child, I’ve been a drink guzzler. Unless it’s a snifter of brandy (lesson learned the hard way in…
Cranberry & Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites
Usually I’m a careful person, but ever since my childhood years, I’ve thrown caution to the wind when it involves raw cookie dough or cake batter. Yes, I know that raw eggs can contain salmonella and should be avoided, but there’s something wrong with baking a cake or a batch of cookies without sampling the…
Summer Highlights + Looking Forward to Fall
I’m beyond glad that today is Tuesday. Yesterday was one of those Mondays I just did not want to get out of bed—and then it all went downhill once I got to work. I’ll save the story for Friday’s pregnancy update, but let’s just say our new benefits administrator nearly sent me into pre-term labor…
Thinking Out Loud + Thankful Thursday
Happy Thursday, friends! What is it about a short week that makes me anticipate the weekend even more than usual? Whatever it is, I’m excited to have a short Thursday (well, I’m working just half a day, but I have a busy schedule after: lunch with Mark, tour of the maternity ward, 34 week doctor’s…
September Blogging Challenge: Goals & Accomplishments
I don’t think it’s a big secret that I’m in a bit of a blogging slump. Ok, more like a blogging abyss. To counteract that and diversify my content—and hopefully learn how to type a blog post that’s less than 500 words (I’m wordy, ok?!)—I’m going to participate in Gracie’s September Blogging Challenge. Since we’re…
What I Ate (& Read) Wednesday 09.03.14
I know I said I’d be back Sunday or Monday with a post, but I decided to pack the computer away (for the most part) and enjoy some much needed relaxation instead. But since it’s Wednesday, I thought I’d combine today’s post with my usual Weekly Links and share a What I Ate—and Read—Wednesday. Below…
