Check out my blog entry for my internship at Good Measure Meals. Woo Hoo!

I did it, yay! (Taken with Instagram at Tiny Tornado’s Tavern)

Sweet (as in touching, not surfer dude cool) article by the awesome Jeremy Dale!

HA! Cult-worthy. I am not alone.

I’m innately against genetically modified foods, but when one can produce such a work of crunchy, sweet, and tart beauty — I say bring on the X-man gills.

Have you ever admired someone so much, that when he or she gets recognition for creating something fabulous, you feel like you’ve done it yourself? Well, my professor created a program called NutriTiming that has blown up now that tennis player Mardy Fish announced it helped him to lose 30 lbs, and reduce his body fat from 21% to 7%.

The premise of the app is genius. It helps you disperse your macronutrient (fat, protein, and carb) and micronutrient (vitamins and minerals) intake throughout the day, in real time (i.e. not as a lump sum at the end of a 24 hour period). This allows you to alter the times when you have too little or too much, because your body has a limit on what it can process at one time. 

Take protein for instance. I know sooo many people that consume way too much protein in one sitting. On average, a person can only utilize 30 g of protein at once. Therefore, it is better to space your required protein throughout the day — typically every 2 to 3 hours. Otherwise, the extra calories are being stored as fat and you may not be meeting your protein needs.

The app is about $10 from iTunes. I think I am about to buy it for myself!

Gearing up for HALLOWEEN! God love Martha Stewart and her fervent commitment to the holiday of holidays.

I go positively GIDDY for craft tutorials. Especially ones as fun and simple as this.

Oh man, I want this SOOOO badly! My birthday was in July, but I’ll take it for Christmas, ya’ll. I guess I could just get more Mason jars, my handy standbys.

I want to make cilantro infused oil for some cilantro-lime rice. MMMMmm.
