The world of blogging really jumped on the energy bite/ball bandwagon. I am pretty sure you’d be hard-pressed to find a food blogger without one on their blog. And for good reason. They’re the perfect snack. I started making them over 6 years ago when I wanted snacks to have on hand while I was…
Roasted Salmon with Leeks
Do you ever watch the show Chopped? I went into labor with my third child watching that show. My weekly CSA is much like opening the mystery basket. I don’t pay much attention to the emails they send of what’s being delivered so it’s always a fun surprise. I like to challenge myself to come…
Antioxidants 101
I had a couple recipes lined up this week and they both ended up as big ol’ fails. I didn’t have time to retry them so I accepted that I just needed to move on. It happens! I am hoping to get some more cooking done this weekend though. So let’s take a different approach…
Purple Potato Salad
It looks like delivery subscription services are my thing- I’ve always loved getting fun mail. So in addition to Stitch Fix, my new obsession is getting my weekly CSA box. It’s so fun seeing all these beautiful organic veggies (and some fruit) at my door each week. I also love the challenge of finding out…
Highs and Lows of Running
Hi friends! Let’s talk about running. My mind is all over the place with how I feel about it. Some days running feels amazing, other days I dread it. Last year one of my resolutions was to run a half marathon. Three quarters of the way through the training I injured my foot and had…
Cooking With Kids & Resurrection Cookies
The kitchen has always been the center of our home. My parent’s kitchen has always been THE place to congregate- there is a huge island and floor-to-ceiling windows that look out to their backyard. Whenever I go home, cooking dinner with extending family is what we do. The wine is poured, the appetizers are out…
What I Ate This Month
Hi friends! Happy St. Patty’s Day! Hope you all have a lovely weekend. This weekend I stepped outside of my normal routine and actually did stuff! Woo hoo! I ran a 10 K fun run on Saturday (more on that Wednesday), then after naps I took the kids to Yogurtini, the Dollar store to pick…
Stitch Fix Review #1
Ok this post obviously has nothing to do with food, nutrition or fitness and although I usually try to stay on topic when I blog, but what girl doesn’t like to talk about fashion?! I can’t tell you how excited I am! I finally ordered my first Stitch Fix and seriously opening the box was…
Gluten Free Living: Where to Begin?
Some of my family members have expressed interest in trying a gluten free diet so I thought I’d briefly share some tips on how to get started. The majority of gluten is consumed in the form of bread, cereal, pasta and baked goods so let’s start there. Switch out your bread products. Most grocery stores…
Make-Ahead Salad Bowls
Hi friends. Just popping in for a quick visit to share this fabulous salad inspired by Starbucks. That’s right, you heard me….a salad inspired by Starbucks! I was in there this week with about 25 minutes to spare before picking up my daughter from preschool. I had our sitter watching the other kids so I…
