A week or two ago, the PR folks at Newman’s Own Organic asked me if we’d be interested in trying out the newest additions to their Family Recipe Cookie line. And given I’m not the kind of girl who typically says “no” to cookies made with organic ingredients and real sugar instead of high fructose …

Today we celebrated the winter solstice with my mom and step dad at our house. After the laziest morning ever (read: I didn’t get in any exercise) I make a quick trip to Wegmans like a complete fool. I needed a few things for our little party and ended up fighting my way through what …

I found the instructions for my food dehydrator online and got to work this morning. As instructed, I soaked sliced bananas in lemon juice for a few minutes before placing them on the tray. Two trays of these guys. Sliced up and cored a red delicious apple, soaked in lemon juice and onto the tray …

I set out for a hot, humid, sunny, ass sweaty run shortly after 12:00. Someone cuff me in the head and remind me why heading out for a run smack dab in the middle of a hot summer day is not the brightest idea I’ve ever had. It was HOT! And HUMID! And did I …
