MCM Mama Runs for Beer and Bling
Soup is one of my favorite foods. Yes, the entire category. In fact, when I was pregnant with Jones, I craved soup at every meal. Since Virginia has decided that today is winter, this potato leek soup is on the menu. I need to make it while it’s actually cold enough to enjoy it. You…
It’s almost Thanksgiving day and we all know what that means! Leftovers! I enjoy turkey dinner on Thanksgiving, but I’m not one to sit down to meal after meal of leftover turkey, sweet potatoes, and the various other sides. So, I immediately turn the leftovers into other meals if I can. Since today’s Friday Five…
It’s Monday and my kids are home with me for the 12th day in a row. Granted, this was a planned teacher work day and we haven’t used up all of our snow days, so they did not reschedule it. But, wow, I’m ready for a normal life. Thankfully, the weather here has been super…
DuClaw sent me some beer to sample and compensated me for this post. All enjoyment and opinions are my own. It’s no secret that I’m a fan of craft beer and a huge supporter of the DC area craft beer scene. We host a few beer oriented parties each year: a beer and food pairing…
Recently I was offered an opportunity to try out freekeh by Fit Approach and Freekeh Foods. Since I’m always trying to expand our eating horizons, I jumped on it. They sent me a package of plain and a package of Rosemary Sage flavor to try. So, what exactly is freekeh? Freekeh is roasted green wheat,…
As you can probably guess from the title, I’m still in Wisconsin. (What could be more Wisconsin the bratwurst? OK, maybe cheese…) Anyways, I’ve been indulging in a few of my favorite foods and drinks while I’m here. The beauty of being here in August is the bounty from my mom’s garden. I’ve been indulging…
We’ve all had that weekend. You know the one – kids have activities + errands need running + the husband needs to get his long bike ride in + you need to get in a mid-length run. Notice I said mid-length – that means at least an hour of running for me. Hmm, where would…
Many thanks to Yoplait for sponsoring today’s story and encouraging me to try Yoplait Greek 100 Whips!! I love dessert! I have a HUGE sweet tooth, as I mentioned earlier this week. I’m also marathon training, so I’m hungry all.the.time. So, when I had the chance to try the Yoplait Greek 100 Whips!, I jumped…
Monday? Already? Where did the weekend go? Oh yeah, it was a blur of orchestra, running, and the Superbowl. Today I’m linking up with Tara at Running’n’Reading to share my weekend shenanigans and a recipe that I made when I finally had time to cook! Last week was a blur of running and orchestra. I…
Selective amnesia is a scary thing. It’s the reason that we are able to have more than one child. It’s the reason we run more than one marathon. The euphoria we feel takes the edge off the memory of how hard or painful it was. I’d already forgotten how much time training takes. Never mind…
I’ve been noticing these posts around the blogosphere, so I was curious to see what I’d find in my own statistics. I mean, I take a look at my stats on a regular basis, so I kind of have a feel for what is popular, but I wanted to see what posts came out on…
Yes. I made cupcakes using DuClaw Brewing’s Sweet Baby Jesus beer and they were AH-MAZ-ING! Backstory: I have a friend who loves beer more than I do (yes, it’s possible). He’s also a better cook and a better runner. So, when we got invited to his and his wife’s holiday party and, when I offered,…
