A CHEF’S WIFE/ YOGA TEACHER’S GUIDE ON HOW NOT TO MAKE AN “ASANA” OUT OF YOURSELF…
OFF THE MAT AND IN THE KITCHEN!
Okey dokey artichokey
Boy am I glad it's Friday! The days following the holidays are always so slow and it seems like the weekend will never get here, you know what I mean? Since Andy and I both worked, and hard I might add, these past couple of months, we're treating ourselves to a little...
Just “beet” it!
Last night the funniest thing happened! While Andy and I were watching Biggest Loser, the one and only show I run home to be on time for, the recent commercial I "starred" in came on! We started laughing so hard while Andy had to make fun of every little detail… like...
Meatloaf, smeatloaf, double beatloaf.
It was 5:30 a.m. when I rolled into the gym this morning and there were like, no parking spaces to be had. Inside was filled to the brim with newbies, returning members, and those people who promised themselves they would go to the gym "everyday" in the New Year. HA!...
Happy JanYOUary!
Happy New Year Yummy Yogini Readers! I'm sure you're all gearing up for a new you in 2014, but instead of resolutions, try creating a vision board so that you can look your goals right in the face! On my vision board last year, to the right, is a picture of my Gram...
…and a Happy New Year!
Welcome back Yummy Yogini readers! I hope you had a fantastic holiday as did I. I can't believe another Christmas has come and gone so fast, yet again. Oh! And it was 82 degrees on the Central Coast Christmas Day so it definitely didn't feel like it should to me. This...
You can’t catch me, I’m the gingerbread man!
It's the weekend before Christmas already! Where does the time go? My students have been showering me with holiday cards and gifts and my tree isn't looking so desolate underneath anymore! I'm really thankful for all of them and just how much they appreciate my...
BARK! The Herald Angels sing
What a productive day! If only you could get paid for multitasking! I finished all of my holiday gifts for my family and they are in flat rate boxes from the USPS waiting for me to ship them tomorrow morning. I'm still waiting on some Butternut and Acorn Squash mini...
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree…
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree that we just purchased last night, please do not shed your lovely branches since it's 85 degrees out today! Can you believe it? I cannot. I grew up in New England, then moved to the Midwest and I don't...
Nobody can resist my “Schweddy” balls!
It's not Christmas without some Schweddy Balls from the gang at Saturday Night Live and from the Yummy Yogini kitchen! Delicious Dish, in particular this Christmas special, has got to be one of my all-time favorite skits on SNL. The gentle tone of Alec...
Punch Buggy! No Returns!
On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a text that said call me cause your scooter has been hit and it won't start up and I'm very sorry! What a bummer, as you Californian's would say, but at least it's just a scooter and pretty cheap to fix. And...
Eleven pipers piping, ten lords a leaping, nine ladies dancing…
It's the eleventh day of Christmas and I have bought not one present yet. That's because I'm making all my gifts again this year silly! The feeling in my family is that we are all so blessed and basically have everything we could ever...
Baby it’s cold outside…
Even here in sunny California, it's winter! So much so that my windows had frost on them yesterday and a few of my potato plants actually froze and I lost them because I forgot to cover them up. Rookie mistake. Darn that cold! Andy and I took a ride through the...
