Holy humidity. I don’t think I’ve ever sweat so much in my life as I did during yesterday’s 5k. Of course, yesterday morning started like every other race day, questioning why the heck I was waking up while it was still dark out to run. I’m pretty sure blog accountability is the only reason I …
Another conference day, another cool display with liquid nitrogen. Sunday they had dried fruit, yesterday there was lime mojito ice cream. I’m told to expect creamsicles today. Can’t wait! d.e.l.i.c.i.o.u.s Apparently, you make the base of the ice cream the same as normal and then add the liquid nitrogen to the mixer and it basically …
A lemony twist on your normal hummus filled with herbs and healthy fats from avocado. It’s great as a dip or even as a spread! That’s a mouthful huh? It’s really unfair to pull one of those ingredients out of the title though because you can taste them all! And, because “hummus” just sounds boring. …
An easy, quick and delicious Greek inspired pasta filled with lemon, spinach and feta. Eat it as is or top with a simple protein like salmon. Sometimes I’ll be casually going about my day when a random recipe or meal idea will pop into my head. Sometimes it’s prompted (reading food blogs is a frequent …
Too bad they aren’t a good thing like their misleading name suggests. After 4 days off from any formal exercise, I was looking forward to a sweaty workout since 8:30am when my butt hit the office chair. I did workout 1B of NROLFW (only 2 more in stage 1!) at lunchtime and saved the run …
A simple, summer bruschetta recipe using fresh seasonal tomatoes and topped with a balsamic glaze. I think I’ve already established that tomatoes are one of my absolute favorite summer foods with my summer stuffed tomatoes and summer gazpacho. Apparently, using the word “summer” in the recipe title is also a favorite so I figured why …
A salty and sour twist on the classic corn on the cob with parmesan and lime. Whew! What a day. I stepped outside at 6pm for a run yesterday and realized it was the first time I had been outside all day. I was glued to the computer from 7am straight through. Between switching this …
This strawberry ginger sauce comes together in about 30 minutes. Use it as a jam or a delicious topping for ice cream. I feel bad for ginger. No not this one, she’s got quite the life. This one. It’s kinda ugly with it nubs and wrinkled skin and people tend to ignore it because they …
These lemon rosemary olive oil cookies are floral and fragrant. They’re a grown up cookie perfect with some tea. Well hello, new readers! Who knew ass grass would be such a popular topic?! Ginger is a little embarrassed but I explained to her how much you all enjoyed hearing about it and she was a …
This quinoa mango spinach salad is filled with healthy ingredients for a vegetarian protein packed meal. I’m halfway through the first stage of NROLFW and wanted to do a quick update on my thoughts/progress so far with the plan. Stage 1 calls for 16 workouts, alternating between workout A & workout B. After 3 full …
