I made whole wheat English muffins tonight – recipe here – served with turkey burgers, frozen broccoli roasted with salt & pepper and olive oil, and homemade applesauce. Being on an elementary school schedule means that I get home in time to cook a real dinner!
David and I love to eat at Chipotle and Bell Street Burritos. But because it’s more frugal to eat in than out, we often create our own Chipotle-style burritos or rice bowls at home. Beans and brown rice are a delicious, frugal, and easy crockpot meal and are good wrapped up in a tortilla, but […]
I have a recipe for really amazing chocolate chip peanut butter cookies (all clean eating, btw!), but the recipe makes about 28 cookies and I find that they disappear wayyy too quickly. I’m trying to save the cookies for special occasions and make one-serving sweets for everyday desserts: – hot cocoa – frozen fruit – […]
I like to have grab-and-go breakfasts, and quiche cups made in muffin tins always seemed like they would fit the bill. When I’ve made them in the past, however, the egg stuck to the inside of the muffin tin, the small size made it hard to get the quiche out without ripping, and it got […]
I LOVE summertime food. Breakfast: Greek yogurt with agave, almonds, and fresh raspberries from my mother’s garden. Lunch: Hummus and veggies – cucumber, red and yellow pepper, celery sticks, baby carrots, and spinach – plus a juicy sweet red plum. Supper: Going out for dinner with the roomie! : )
Sometimes I still want to eat when I’m feeling emotional, and Sunday night was one of those times. I had just finished a long weekend of being a counselor at a summer camp just for kids with a history of abuse and neglect. When you are part of a normal, healthy family with a normal, […]
When my flight out of Milwaukee was cancelled yesterday evening, I ended up in a rental car driving all night back to home. I finally arrived around 5:45 am… Not the best trip ever, but better than being stuck there for another day. The crazy night meant that my eating and sleeping patterns are all gone […]
My running buddy got hit by a car this week. She’s ok, now, but things didn’t look so good to begin with. She broke her leg in three different places; tomorrow morning she’s going to have surgery to put it all back together. I’ve been assured by my vet-in-residence that she will be able to […]
There’s something freeing about hitting the road without an ipod or a watch or a plan. This morning I set out on a nearby trail and just kept on going…. When I got home, I ran my route through google maps and found that I’d gone 6 miles! I’ve found that bananas are a good […]
For the first time ever, I have not fallen off the bandwagon after a big race. After I ran my first half marathon, I quit exercising for weeks. Starting up again was a slow, painful process. The same thing happened after I ran my second. It’s a horrible feeling – you work so hard, feel […]
