I love soup. I could literally eat it every meal, all year round. In fact, when I was pregnant with Jones, I craved it all.the.time. I had some sort of soup at every meal for MONTHS. (Until I ordered a gag inducing soup at a Mexican restaurant and then didn’t eat soup for months…) Anyways,…

Egg, nut, and dairy free Halloween cupcakes
October is sugar month in our house. Between a mid-October birthday (how am I the mom of a TEEN now??) and a Halloween birthday (yes, Shoo was born ON Halloween) and Halloween itself, it seems like I am always baking in this house during October. Sadly, I’m not the best baker in the world. Add…
Oldies but Goodies
Today, Lindsay over at the Lean Green Bean is hosting a “Pin It” Party. I figured I’d join in and share some of my older posts with you all. In the spirit of Friday Five with Mar, Cynthia, and Courtney, here are five of my favorite pinnable posts. You can click on the picture or…
WIAW: Blue Apron Review
A friend of mine recently gave me a free trial of Blue Apron. Blue Apron is one of a number of delivery services that have popped up that provide you with recipes and all of the ingredients that you need to cook them. In this case, you get three meals, all selected by Blue Apron. …
Eat all the things Wednesday
Really, it was eat.all.the.things Tuesday, but the sentiment is the same. It was just one of those days when all I wanted to do was eat. The day started with an early breakfast, so lunch was eaten at about 11:15. I headed out for a run (that I really didn’t want to do, but I…
Cleaning up my diet
40 miles a week is a magical number for me. Magical, I tell you. It instantly transforms me into a person who just can’t eat enough. Admittedly, this is not good magic. Remember how I wrote about being “Rungry and Hangry” and trying to stop the evening snacking? Well, so far, so good using the…
WIAW + slow cooker recipe
Every year, I suffer through Virginia’s summers. 90+ degrees with matching humidity = pretty much all of July and August + some of June and September. In exchange, Virginia usually delivers me a reasonably cold winter with not a lot of snow. Sometimes Virginia does not live up to her end of the bargain. Sometimes…
Thanksgiving prep and WIAW
Every other year I host Thanksgiving. It’s usually just us and one other family, but somehow I always end up with a stupidly big turkey. Since I have the smallest oven available in a first world country, I cook the turkey on Wednesday and then heat it in the crockpot the next day. Last time…
The Joy of running + WIAW
Lately, all of my running has been done for one reason: to train for this crazy ass goal of five half marathons in five days. Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited about my goal and a lot of my runs have been enjoyable, but they all have a goal: to build my mileage high enough…
WIAW: Tiptoeing towards Paleo
After I fell completely off the Paleo wagon, it became apparent that a drastic change wasn’t going to work for me. Maybe if I wasn’t running major mileage, I could handle the lack of energy. Maybe if it wasn’t winter and I wasn’t already dealing with grey and cold, I could handle the crabbiness that…
August NatureBox Review + Recipe
I was so excited to get home from vacation and find my NatureBox waiting for me. I love getting things in the mail and I love snacks, so NatureBox is a win/win for me. How do you eat your NatureBox? One entire item at a time or do you open everything and try it first?…
Attune health(ier) rice crispy treats
I recently had the opportunity to try out some of the Attune Erewhon cereals. Attune professes to be “simple ingredients. simply made.” All of their products are made in the U.S. Most are organic, non-GMO, whole grain cereals and many are gluten free. I was excited to try them out. I was sent three boxes: …
