How do you decide what kind of cake to make for someone’s birthday when they’re not actually going to get to eat it? In world of social distancing, this is the question we find ourselves asking. And the answer may lay in what doesn’t require a trip to the grocery...

So much has happened in the 5 weeks since I last wrote. We watched as a virus spread on the other side of the world, yet still expected we’d be able to travel. 27 days ago the state department moved Japan from a 1 to a 2 (“travel with precautions”)...

The Food. I actually liked the food quite a bit, though I didn’t like having to measure every ounce and gram. It made food prep rather monotonous. Breakfasts were various egg permutations. Lunches were salads, lettuce wraps or leftovers from dinner: Chicken, shrimp or fish with a veggie side. Snacks...

What I’m Eating: Keto! Why? Because I have absolutely no shame about being a New Year’s cliche, I started a month of keto at the beginning of January (spoiler alert: I’m not a fan). I even bought a custom keto meal plan so everything is planned out for me (spoiler...

I spent most of this week in rural Burke County, Georgia where we went to visit the district’s amazing Farm To School program (we weren’t their first visitor from Washington!), hear how the after school supper program fuels the beloved Bears (including a state championship in 2011!) and learn how...

Hey y’all. Lonnnng time no see. Rather than get too deep into excuses (travel, a major blog hack, general lack of inspiration to write) I’m going to try out a new format: short, quick posts that give me the opportunity to check-in and tell you about whatever I happen to...

Ah, what a weekend. It was everything a weekend should be. Relatively low-key, by our standards. We went out to an AMAZING dinner and cocktails on Friday night (keep on reading). We hit up our favorite brewery and grilled out on Sunday. We did a double at the gym on...
