Vegan Almond Butter Ginger Whole Wheat Heaven!

My domestic experimentation is slowly but surely paying off. I made cookies because first off, I had most of the ingredients, and second, because I needed to supercede a disastrous batch of whole wheat dark chocolate chip cookies that really turned out to be a dry whole wheat crust with chocolate in it.  There is no dairy or animal products in this recipe. It is very easy and there can be things added to it such as chocolate, flax, nuts, fairy dust, whatever. Honestly, if I didn't mess this up, you won't either! Ingredients: 1...

Best Easter Candy Line-up: 5.) Cadbury Mini Eggs - Delicious and hard to follow serving suggestion so be weary. These bags hide well under your bed for convenient snacking!  4.) Starburst Jelly Beans - I repeat, Starburst. Not the generic 5 lb. pound you get for 99 cents at the checkout line along with baby wipes and a clip-on Purell in Walgreens the night before Easter. Who even buys those? You're not fooling your children with the disgusting coconut and licorice flavors thrown cheaply into the corny syrup jumble. Starburst...

APRIL, YOU FOOL.

I AM BACK!!!! Apologies. In summation, I have relocated to Boston for a bit, so yea, I guess I was a bit occupied! I'm back now and that's all that matters guys.  My fingers are nervously tapping on these keys trying to think of what to even begin writing about.  Let's debrief quickly, bullet style. I'm really happy to be back in Boston. Clear head, clear mind. Surrounded by some amazing people. Miami, I will be back shortly because I miss you too. Instagram is now available on Droid phones. Join the addiction. Marlins...

She Was Definitely Da Vinci's Mistress, Hands Down.

I know, I know. We have so much catching up to do. So much to delve! In the meantime I could not help but share this with you all. Imagine a Mona Lisa constructed out of coffee cups ranging from lightly creamed to black. Well someone decided to do it and it is the utmost amazing thing I've seen this week besides some of the handsome pro athletes in my new training facility in Boston. Oh yea, we will need to discuss that move. Ha. Check it out! ...

And I Wish You Joy And Happiness

I watched the entire Whitney Houston funeral today as I tended to some household duties today. We've all made the jokes, heard the jokes, believed the rumors, and said our "I told you so"s. We are so shadowed by conflict, scandal and controversy that we forget to remember Whitney left behind a striking legacy and a heartbroken family. I will never forget when I graduated kindergarten at Alexander Montessori to her song "Greatest Love of All". As they carried out her casket, they played her beloved "I Will Always Love You" and I could...

Cupid: A Fat Toddler With A Weapon

Happy Singles Awareness Day! I hope you all have your pinks, blushes, fuchsias, and reds on today with chocolate in hand! I love you all. In other news, let's discuss what's been going on in our world the last couple days that I've been absent: Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in NYC has been ongoing. You know how it goes. Some looks are absolutely grotesque and ridiculous, while others set the bar for this year's fashion do's. Whitney Houston passed away at the age of 48. Terribly unfortunate. Her demise was unbearable and disappointing...

Awesome Girl Problems.

New book alert! We've all heard the viral expression "White Girl Problems" all over social media outlets, but Babe Walker has condensed this concept into a book that was just released January 31st. From all the stresses that life may present, Babe is the go-to guru on the topic. Check out her BabeWalker.com site, follow her on Twitter @whitegrlproblems (yes, there is no "i" in that one) and relish in her unique and hilarious interview posted below. Can you describe BabeWalker.com in three words? No, can you?...

Exclusive.

Where to begin with this one, where to begin.... It's a proud moment for my mischievous best friend William King from Holy Cross. I can't help but fuel his ego because it's only appropriate for me to be proud as well. This is the same kid who likes to instigate, test, shake things up, is blatantly honest, is surprisingly sentimental, astoundingly corny, hopelessly romantic, and ridiculously too smart for his own good. We always laugh to each other wondering how different our college experience may have been if we did not know each...

The Girl Who Really Liked A Certain Trilogy.

I have been in a semi-cold turned fever induced early night bedrest and have FINALLY delved into Stieg Larssen's brilliant yet twisted Swedish trilogy series. Of course I have the books laying here on my dresser, which I have yet to read, and the Hollywood version has recently come out but wow, you all must see the original version of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", "The Girl who Played with Fire" and "The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest", directed by Niel Arden Oplev. Subtitles are a must so they require your full attention you...

I Bleed Purple.

Did we all watch an impressive, uplifting 2012 State of the Union Address by President Obama? Regardless of your political agenda, it was well-written and Obama hit some amazing key points. Let's give America the boost it needs. Now, I have the pleasure of humbly bragging that I went to College of the Holy Cross with Obama's speechwriter, Jon Favreau. He was Valedictorian of his class and after working with presidential candidate John Kerry, he was recommended to Obama on his turbulent, yet successful campaign. Since then, the two...

It's Paula Deen's Birthday Y'all!

Happy 65th Birthday to Mrs. Paula Deen! Thank you for your disgustingly copious use of butter, heavy creams and other artery encrusting ingredients and for always having that wonderful hungry smile on your face in the backdrop of your own Georgia kitchen! I know your fans love watching you from their hospital beds or post-gastric bypass recovery centers and please know that we were all extremely blown away by your recent diabetes diagnosis. Who would've thought huh? What were the signs?! I'm glad you've taken your health...

::Cue The Eery Music::

Happy Friday the 13th! I'm off to Boston, a 6:45 am flight ( I don't know why I inconvenience myself so much) today to my cousin's abode in Newton. I love it there! I'm excited to get away. All the young cousins and siblings (except for my sister, shout out to Rebecca, keep the kitchen clean thanks) will be in attendance for my cousin's 40th birthday bash (er I mean 20th) in downtown Boston. As I pack I feel like I'm packing to go back to college again thanks to all the long sleeves, coats, etc. jammed in my suitcase. Anyway, I will...

Poof! -Leave the games to Parcheesi and Angry Birds. Not the dating world. -Shall we place bets on numbers of marriages/pregnancies/scandals amongst our facebook friends this year? Anyone? -Why...

The Past Has Passed.

2011 is done. Here's what I've learned: YOU come first no matter what. Screw first impressions. Who are you to judge?  Sometimes the rest of your life starts with goodbye. Get back to reading books. You know, the ones with paper in them with more than 30 pages. Don't invest in something worthless.  Stop feeling bad for others. Who is feeling bad for you? Don't glorify/dwell on the pettiness.  Hold tightly to your values, morals, and class.  Buy Just Dance 3 for Wii. DO NOT HATE. Exercise keeps you sane. You...
