Eating and living locally . . . mindfully . . . simply.
I can’t believe I forgot to review the Clinton St. Baking Company Cookbook: Breakfast, Brunch & Beyond from New York’s Favorite Neighborhood Restaurant when I made the po’boy sandwiches from it a few weeks ago. Duh! I had received a review copy from the publisher and they kindly offered an additional giveaway copy for one of my readers.
This lightened-up version of tuna salad is a snap to throw together for a quick lunch.
As you may have figured out from some of my earlier posts, I did not grow up eating food made from scratch. My mom is a good cook, but definitely used boxed mixes and convenience items. So where did I get the idea to eat real food? DH would blame my friend and former co-worker Holly.

For some reason, no matter my weight or fitness level, I always love yoga. In the New Year I am going to get back into it. I’ve always been flexible, but for some reason when I do yoga it makes me feel nice and stretched (a huge difference after being hunched over a computer) and at peace.

I was so excited to receive a review copy of The Commonsense Kitchen: 500 Recipes Plus Lessons for a Hand-Crafted Life; I couldn’t wait to dive in.
I hope each and every one of you had a Merry Christmas! I had so much fun visiting with my parents, sisters and their families. It’s amazing how fast nieces and nephews grow up (especially my sister’s children who live in New York and whom I don’t see very much). Even time spent with my [...]
After writing today’s post in the Simple Living series, I decided to practice what I preach and take a blogging break. Next week I’m taking a vacation from my 8-5 job (and will be trying really hard to ignore the emails on my Blackberry!) and so I decided that now would be a good time to take a break from posting. Don’t worry, I’ll be back Monday Dec. 27.
Continuing in our series based on the themes in Living More with Less, today we’ll focus on Life Standard #2: Learn from the World Community.
