I have a couple things I’d like to say.

The first is that yesterday afternoon I taught a group of nine-year-olds yoga as part of a special nutrition focused afterschool program. Guys….these little kids were, quite possibly, the coolest little kids in all the land. They rocked cobra pose (while hissing of course), stood tall in tree pose and then they all popped up to full wheel like it ain’t no thang. Then, we all sat in a circle and one little boy who hadn’t said a word all class quietly whispered, “I really loved that”.  So, of course my heart just melted and I eagerly responded, “oh! what did you love most?” And then… in his quiet, sweet little voice he goes, “bridge pose!” Alright then! I’ll take it. Afterward, we all sat in a circle and drank green smoothies and talked about the importance of fruit as snacks. It was pretty amazing.

The next thing I’d like to say is completely unrelated and that is that you guys have to stop me….these cookies are OUT OF CONTROL. As in, I can’t stop eating them. They need to find a way out of my house and into your arms.

These giant chai tea frosted cookies are the beautiful cross between a cupcake and a cookie.

I’m just going to pause for a second and let you wrap your mind around that.

Day in the Life

by jenna on May 15, 2012

A few other bloggers have recently written done posts like this, so I figured it was my turn. To be honest, I am incredibly nosy and love posts like this! I love knowing what people do all day at their job, and what they eat. Something really boring to them is usually pretty interesting to me. I am super grateful for the fact that I get to do this for a full-time job—it definitely does not always come easy though! Nevertheless, I love every second of it, as well as all of you who make the whole thing possible.

So….here we go.

Happy Monday! I’m on a grilling kick. And by “grilling kick”, I mean I grilled turkey burgers and salsa on Saturday and now am wondering why I’ve had this nice grill out on my patio for the past two years and this is only the second time I’ve ever used it. It’s kind of like [...]

If you’re been following my journey working through her recipe box, you know as well as I do that these three ingredients made up the crux of Gram’s life. The woman loved her graham [...]

This is the first year that I won’t get to spend Mother’s Day with my mom. I’m pretty bummed.
