I’m posting What I Ate Wednesday early because tomorrow is Halloween and I’ll probably be eating too much candy. Just kidding. I haven’t even purchased any candy yet for trick-or-treaters, guess what I’ll be doing on the way home from work tomorrow! But I will probably be too busy watching scary movies and handing candy […]
Sweet Sunday
Boo on the weekend being over and the start of what promises to be another very busy work week tomorrow. But today was just a pleasant and productive day that started with a leisurely 5.5 mile run this morning were I stopped to snap pics of geese on my favorite nature trail. The weather was […]
Saturday List
So happy the weekend is here and I’ve been trying to decompress from the hectic work week while still having a fun and productive Saturday that included: 1. Deciding to work out in our home gym this morning instead of running since my legs were a little sore. 2. Having a simple massaged kale salad […]
Dijon Rosemary Dressing
Almost Friday and that’s a good thing, I’m looking forward to a fun weekend. And we have a new episode of Big Bang Theory and 30 Rock waiting for us, woohoo! I had these two handsome guys waiting for dinner earlier this evening. And decided to create another salad dressing to go with a huge […]
WIAW for a Crazy Tuesday
Happy Wednesday, this week is getting closer to being over! And I actually documented everything I ate yesterday for What I Ate Wednesday, something I have not remembered to do in awhile! Breakfast A smoothie with Garden or Life’s Raw Protein, a banana, kale, and a carrot that disappeared on the drive to work. Snack I […]
Fast Curry Seitan Meal
Today we had our first real storm of the season, happy Monday to us! It’s strange that it goes for months here over the summer without a drop, actually it’s nice not worrying about rain. But in the winter we can get days, even weeks, of non stop rain to make up for the dry […]
Fall Stir Fry & Hot Pink 10K
It is nice to be relaxing at home now because it’s overcast and chilly outside and I’m a bit wiped after running a very hilly 10K which I’ll be feeling tomorrow for sure! Last night I got creative with a sweet potato for dinner. Even though I adore them, I haven’t been cooking them as […]
Simple Tomato Salad
So glad the weekend is finally here, I’ve been in a funk the last two days with a cold and craziness at work. And I’m still trying to get rid of the last bits of this cold and be ready to run a 10k race tomorrow morning – ugh! Poor Miko has been looking a […]
Celebrating Fall at Apple Hill
Every fall I like to make at least one trip to Apple Hill, a fun area of orchards, tree farms, crafts, breweries, and wineries all connected by narrow, winding, hilly, scenic roads. And it comes alive in fall with harvest festivities, pumpkins, apples, turning leaves, and the smell of pumpkin pies. It’s corny, but gorgeous […]
Spicy Seitan and Carrot Ginger Soup
I’m sort of into seitan now because it’s as versatile and easy to prepare as tempeh while packing a lot protein – more than many meat products. I was pretty excited when I found a new seitan flavor to try this weekend from Sweet Earth Natural Foods. Why have I never tried any of their […]
