It hasn’t even been a month since our honeymoon and I was already craving the gallo pinto (rice and beans pronounced gah-yo) we were eating daily for breakfast in Costa Rica. Fortunately I picked up the Finca’s spiral bound cookbook so I could mimic the amazing meals we ate there while at home. And while [...]

For part 2 of our honeymoon, we flew to the Tamarindo area of Costa Rica to stay at the luxurious and private inn and spa, Los Altos de Eros. It was take-your-breath-away beautiful and we have never been to a hotel/resort that we literally did not want to leave. In fact, we opted to spend [...]

Funk and I were so excited for the picked-that-day fresh foods we’d be eating at our stay at Finca Luna Nueva Lodge. It’s not unusual for us to plan entire trips around the food! Breakfast was always set out buffet style, and while lunch and dinner were served to us, we enjoyed all of our [...]

For the first part of our honeymoon, we stayed at a place that was recommended by a dietitian pal of mine. As soon as she said the words, “It’s a dietitian’s heaven,” I basically had my bags packed. What drew us to the Finca Luna Nueva Lodge in Costa Rica was the fact that it [...]

Before we leave for our honeymoon, I want to sneak in a few wedding shots. It was a perfect weekend, amazing wedding day, and unforgettable celebration with everyone we love. The food was delish, the cake was heavenly (thanks mom) and was (surprise!) Funfetti on the inside, and our favors, naturally, were healthy and funk-y. [...]

It’s here! It’s here! Our wedding weekend!!! Feels like forever ago when we got engaged and now we’re finally about to walk down the aisle. While we’re dancing the day away, eating multiple slices of wedding cake, and honeymooning, I have some fantastic guest bloggers who stepped in to cover for me while I’m gone. [...]

Wedding countdown: less than a week! So I’m all about convenient eating. But since I want to look my best and feel my best on the big day, I’m making sure to whip up healthy meals at home. No need to be bloated with salt from restaurant meals, or spend money eating out that I’d [...]

The other day my friends Pam and Jess came over to help me assemble some wedding programs and favors. In return, I promised to feed them! But after a super busy day running around, I didn’t have time to whip up anything elaborate. So, I threw together some simple ingredients and came up with hummus [...]

What a wedding (and wedding food) weekend! Funk and I enjoyed some cake tasting on Saturday. My bloodstream has yet to calm down from the outrageous sugar surge after that afternoon! Funk has been fairly warned that he is not to smoosh cake in my face at the wedding, so I let him have his [...]

I recently had my first bridal shower and was so surprised when I saw the hosts pulled recipes from my blog to create and serve! I can’t say I’ve ever had someone make one of my recipes…and then serve it to me! It was such a sweet (and delicious) gesture, I had to share some [...]
