If you see me this weekend and I seem a little out of sorts, it might be from eating too much ice cream and pastry. I'm on a diet and limited to a menu of foods that I only truly enjoy in small doses - things like white bread, peanut butter, cookies and ice cream. … Continue reading Don’t tell me what to eat

Yoga Brunch
One of the most exciting parts of owning a restaurant, for me, is conceiving and hosting events. The Ladies First party last fall and our New Year's Day Open House, were two of my favorite afternoons spent at Lark + Lily in the near year (!) since we opened. Last Sunday I was fortunate enough … Continue reading Yoga Brunch

If you're (fortunately) not familiar with CT scans, allow me to … Continue reading The ultimate CT
Good news/bad news and a bit of a Grimm tale
The good news? I weighed less than I thought I would when I stepped on the scale. The bad news? I need to see my ENT surgeon post-haste. For the record, I like it better when the good news follows the bad. I went to see my endocrinologist yesterday. I wasn't scheduled to see her … Continue reading Good news/bad news and a bit of a Grimm tale
