TTT: Ambassador, Pinterest, and MCM

March 8, 2012 by MCM Mama 9 Comments

TTT: Ambassador, Pinterest, and MCM

1.  I found out yesterday that I've been chosen to be a 2012 Ambassador for Pacers Running Store.  This is my third year as part of the group and I absolutely love it.  Before I became an ambassador, I was a huge fan of their store and the many races that they put on each year, so it's been awesome being more involved.  I'll be volunteering at a lot of the races and definitely running as many as I can.  If you are a local, look for me at the races! 2. Lately, I've been addicted to pinning recipes on Pinterest, but I haven't actually done anything with any of them.  Well, last night I actually made one of the recipes (but, of course, I didn't follow it exactly because, well, I never do LOL.)  I made "Dark Chocolate Avocado Mousse" that I … [Read more...]

My “go to” breakfast – crustless quiche

My “go to” breakfast – crustless quiche

I was recently discussing breakfast with another "Team Tough Chik" runner.  I'm kind of boring  I have two go to breakfasts.  If I'm running more than 6 miles before lunch, I eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on whole wheat bread.  This seems to be the perfect carb + protein combo for me and has never (*knock wood*) upset my stomach on a run.   If I'm not running, I eat a piece of crustless quiche.   I promised Elizabeth of See Lizzie Tri that I would post the recipe of the quiche.  (I'm pretty sure you all know how to make a PB&J LOL) I use whatever veggies I have in the fridge, as well as whatever cheese.  The best combination for me includes some sort of green (spinach, kale, arugula, etc), mushrooms, pepper, onion and … [Read more...]

GOTR and a new soup for you

GOTR and a new soup for you

You can see me at about the 1:15 point. ;o) I really want to participate in "What I ate Wednesday" one of these days, but that would require two things:  1) planning and pictures, neither of which happen often around here, and 2) admitting to the weird combination of foods I eat.  I will say that the HBBC has definitely gotten me to pay more attention to my fruits and vegetables.  Yesterday I had a veggie burger topped with lettuce, spinach, avocado, and a boatload of salsa for lunch.  It was yummy, filling, and hit at least 4 servings of veggies.  Dinner was Potato Leek Soup, mostly because I happened to have all the ingredients from our veggie delivery.  So, yeah, no problem hitting the 7 fruits and veggies yesterday! Potato Leek … [Read more...]

Jewish Mother’s Split Pea Soup

October 27, 2011 by MCM Mama 10 Comments

Jewish Mother’s Split Pea Soup

This has been one of the more miserable falls that Virginia has had in a while.  We seem to be getting rain at least a couple of times a week.  A lot of us are beginning to wonder when Virginia got placed just outside the *other* Washington. For most of October, my mood has matched the weather.  Adding a layer of stress over what is already my craziest month of the year and then throwing a ton of rain on top of that?  Yeah.  Depression was rearing its ugly head, only held at bay by a few really awesome runs. It's raining again today, but all is sunny in me. I went for a lovely run in the rain in my new Skirt Sports skirt.  (Love!  Will review later) Nothing hurt! I got final closure today with my primary physician that everyone … [Read more...]

Last man standing

Last man standing

Everyone in my house, except me, is sick.  I feel fine.  *knock wood*  Thankfully, my boys are old enough that I can leave them home with Beer Geek, even in his "I feel like crap" state.  Otherwise, I think my head would explode if I couldn't leave the house. How am I staying healthy?  Well, first, I ran 6 lovely miles today.  I hit my planned pace exactly, despite a few wicked hills.  I love being back to the point that 6 miles is relatively easy. Also, winter has returned, so I'm making my famous vegetarian tortilla soup.  Since I'm such a wonderful, generous person, I'm going to share that with you.  Now, I'm off to the grocery store to help Jones earn a part of his Bear badge.  Please think positive thoughts for me.  Also?  I am out … [Read more...]
