Two weeks down, just one more week of 500 calorie, no-fat eating left! … it gives me a new appreciation for fat. Butter and coconut milk in particular, for my healthy cooking. Butter for sauteeing, coconut milk for curries, soups, and more. I also can’t wait to eat spaghetti squash again, and not to have…

Four Seasons brunch
I went to brunch in Houston at Quattro, the Four Seasons’ restaurant. If the Austin Four Seasons brunch at Trio is anything like its sibling, I need to get there stat. I’ve heard it’s good, but seriously, if it’s this good, it’s high time we put it on the list of things to do. Quattro’s…

Daily Juice

But among other things I never thought I’d be into, I’m going to an awesome acupuncturist (merrittacupuncture.com) and she suggested a Cleanse. By Standard Products, this Cleanse isn’t as restricting as others, so I thought I…
