Re-direct to Tumblr!

Hi, I've moved!!!  If you're not automatically redirected, please click this link to find me in my new spot!: http://grungrygirl.tumblr.com/

Thanks for coming by!

It's been a while

I'm here writing today because I've been neglectful.

I just read a wonderful blog entry by Caitlin at EngineerBaker, and was inspired by her honesty.  I too have been feeling that with the exciting changes in life... including an upcoming move, and a bygone wedding, that blogging hasn't been at the top of the list this year.

I still have a passion for food, and an interest in photographing it, but that passion to publish the experience of it has not been at the forefront of late.  That being said, my twitter is still active.  So, continue to follow me there!

I hope to continue my blogging whether it be on the subject of food, or something else entirely, I'd love to see you on the flipside!  I'll let you know what the upcoming endeavors are.

I'm Married! Wedding Snippets!

So I've been away... almost forever.  But lots of exciting things have been happening these past few months!  For one thing, E + I are now MARRIED!  And... we've been EATING (+ traveling) quite a bit!

I've been to NYC 3 times and up and down the California coast several times... and have many food photos and adventures to share.

Let's start with the good stuff!  Here are a few gorgeous photos of the wedding decor (and of us)...shared by our AMAZING family, friends and of course our photographer, Sherri Johnson!  Our wedding took place in Malibu, CA on a flawlessly beautiful day in June...

Oh the Wedding Diet! Creating more energy for LIFE!

Lately, with so much on the mind... I've been posting a lot more on the go on my tumblr.com account.  Check it out sometime!!!

So, I know you've missed me here.  =)  Here are some images of what I've been eating the past few weeks:

CA Health + Longevity Institute Cooking Class- 4 soups!

Simple Home Cookin'- Grilled Salmon Salad w/ egg= Japanese B'fast for two!

Steamed talapia w/ sweet chili sauce + Steamed kale

Tamari based salmon teriyaki w/ steamed broccoli and quinoa

Can't forget dessert! @enjoycupcakes lemon gluten freeeee + a cutie!

Ok, so this bride has some tricks up her sleeve.  I downloaded the "My Fitness Pal" app on my iphone... and I am shooting to get healthy not just for the wedding, but for LIFE!  It's not about weight loss or anything like that for me.  It's for the reward of having more energy each day. 

Happy Spring!

Valentine Cupcake Idea Round=up! + Hello, Cupcake!

For Valentines Day this year, E surprised me with an early present... and Guess what it was!?!?

THAT'S RIGHT... the CUTEST cookbook I've ever seen.  Hello, Cupcake! So, I decided to find all the helpful items I'll need to make some of these delightful confections and share them with you, so you can all make some awesome Valentine's day treats as well!

My favorite designs are the dirt + worms garden cupcakes.  They are absolutely adorable, with itty-bitty shovels stuck in the "dirt" next to sprouting carrots and peas made of various candies. 

And here, is What's New, Cupcake?  In case you already have Hello, Cupcake!
















For your favorite little princess at home... the sweetest little kit with flower baking cups and princess cake toppers!

A Cupcake TOWER Stand for presenting your creations at home!

And then, a great holder for travel!

 

And, to finish it off... these cute little boxes to transport gifts!
