Snap Kitchen. Everything about it is so right. The store – you walk in to an airy, all-windowed place with bright green floors, bamboo counters and tables, white plastic chairs, and bright orange accoutrements. There are no walls, save some muddled clear walls defining a main office and registered dietician’s office. That’s right–there’s a full…

Ten Foods to Live
I just returned to Aspen from Austin, and there are a few things I have to buy in Austin that I simply can’t find from Aspen to Glenwood Springs. This time, I brought back hazelnut meal, veggie chips from Central Market/Whole Foods bulk, Perfect Foods Chocolate Raspberry bars, Emergen-C MSM powder, and bulk arrowroot powder.…
Take Back Your Lunch
There’s a new movement starting this Wednesday across the country called “Take Back Your Lunch.” All you have to do is dine with friend in a park or public place to get away from your computer for an hour. Why? Take Back Your Lunch is a part of The Energy Project for Tony Schwartz’s new…
More on why you should eat grassfed beef
For a video interview (peep it here) for EndlessBeauty.com, a colleague and I hit up My Fit Foods, who is sponsoring us for two weeks of our Extreme Body Challenge. In Austin, My Fit Foods was quickly a big hit with the CrossFit community but has recently faced some fierce competition from the likes of…
Bona Dea Bread
I like bread a lot. I like whole wheat bread mainly, because I like the richer flavor. I like hearty, dense breads. I like sourdough. I like Ezekiel sprouted grain bread. Much to the chagrin of my notions of eating a low-carb diet because it’s healthy, I find it nearly impossible to give up bread.…
SXSW 2009: Saturday’s Schedule
I’m in Houston for Beer Bike, our biggest, weirdest event where people start boozing at 6am. But here I am at a Keggs ‘n Eggs party, making sure the good people in Austin know what to do today. I would recommend a Venti Starbucks coffee with whisky, but that’s just me. Anyway, the top 5…
A sprouted grain crust pizza!
Whaaaa? In a quick stop at Whole Foods last night I stumbled upon A.C. LaRocco’s Ultra Thin Crust Pizza Sprouted Grain with Old World Veggies. I told my G about it, and he insisted I post pics so he could know what I was talking about. Behold: Sprouted grains are much better for you, higher…
Super Bowl Sunday Game Day Ideas
I love football. I love college football. I love the Super Bowl. I do not care much about the NFL for the other 364 days a year–take away the Oilers and Warren Moon and replace them with what? The Texans? My 8-year-old-self clutching her Super Bowl mug in an XL Oilers t-shirt can’t help but…
Snow Pea Bento Box
I had a lovely day in my Brykerwoods neighborhood! I woke up and took a nice little jaunt with the pup to the Starbucks inside the Randall’s, where I bought a Venti Soymilk Sugar Free Cinnamon Dolce Latte (yes, I’m a pain) to enjoy while I worked on some articles. A few hours later, I…
Red House Lounge – Stortini + Stortini’s pizza = Red House Pizzeria
It’s a confusing bit of mathematical dining calculations, but basically Stortini’s lounge in the back–the Red House Lounge–was a much bigger success than the restaurant she sat in. So they closed Stortini Bistro. Then, the popular neighborhood bar stole the finer points of its sister restaurant, uh, the pizza, and expanded into the entire space.…
