I had such a wonderful weekend in Seattle with my girlfriend Heather. I had no idea Seattle had such an awesome downtown- the shopping, the restaurants, the market! Fabulous! We live about 50 miles south of downtown so we haven’t had a chance to visit much since we moved here almost a year ago. I…
Fitness Friday
Oh Friday, I am so happy you are here! I realized I haven’t given you an update on my injured foot and I am sure you are all dying to know how it’s feeling. Right? Right. So I took a good 2 weeks off from running after I went to the Doctor. I bought new…
Creamy Dill Cucumber Salad
Have I ever mentioned I am a magazine junkie? Well it’s true. Over the last couple years I was good and cut back to two cooking magazines. Then I don’t know what happened- actually I do. This crazy discount magazine site sent me emails about all the sales they were having I picked up a…
Lemon-Garlic Chicken Thighs {Slow Cooker Recipe}
I have become a little obsessed with the slow cooker lately. It’s just so convenient to start dinner in the morning but have it ready to go when the kids get hungry at approximately 5:30pm. My dad found this Emeril recipe a couple years ago for Lemon-Garlic Chicken Thighs. We made it when I lived…
Run for Boston

Congratulations to the winner of the Bestowed Box giveaway, Jessie J.! Salmon Salad Stuffed Avocado. I can’t remember the last time I bought a can of salmon (or tuna). I am not sure why, but it just fell off my list of staple foods. When my mom was here visiting she mentioned that she loves…
Polenta Bruschetta and Meal Planning
I hope you all had a great weekend! I know after my last post you are all waiting in suspense to find out the results of my foot’s xray and I am happy to say that I do not have a fracture and am half way through my rest period! It was actually a good…
Simple Ways To See The Bright Side
This week I am looking on the bright side…. Part 1: When Training Doesn’t Go As Planned I was going to run a half marathon last weekend. I found out about it not too long ago and didn’t mention it because I wanted to be certain I was ready. Two and a half weeks ago…
