As a self-proclaimed Salad Lover, I’ve come to see that the pregnant version of myself is not at all a Salad Lover. No, these days I’m more of a Salad Avoider. I’m able to stuff leafy greens into sandwiches or the occasional glass of green juice or green smoothie, but my regular salad days are currently on … Read more
Nope, Chlorella is a super food. And lately, it’s been on my radar. Chlorella is a green algae. It’s high in protein, essential fatty acids, amino acids and a slew of vitamins and minerals. It’s an immune enhancer and when dried and processed, it looks like it would make great fake grass in your kid’s … Read more
It was a dark and stormy night. Actually, it was just a cold and gloomy Friday morning. And I was in the mood to cook. I was also in the mood to shake things up! I went googling my way around the world wide web in search of something outlandish to do with a bag … Read more
It’s-Not-Thanksgiving-Yet Eggplant Parmesan
November 22nd, 2011 | Posted by in Dinner Time - (6 Comments)For dinner tonight, there was one goal: Make something completely the opposite of Thanksgiving.

Zombie weekend fun is officially over, now we’re back to business as usual gang! And this morning, we were all business. If there’s anything out there that works like a charm when it comes to teaching your homeschooled kid some valuable math lessons, money is it. Me: Is 46 greater than or less than 56? … Read more
Two days a week, the girls go off to class for three hours in the afternoon. That means two days a week, I have three hours to myself. Sometimes I stay and help out in class, sometimes I run errands, sometimes I do housework, sometimes I work on a blog post. Sometimes I eat leftover … Read more

Twas the Night Before Steamtown
October 8th, 2011 | Posted by in Late Night Craziness - (5 Comments)I made it! Picked up my swag. (that’s actually a really nice long sleeve tech shirt. and green glasses rule.) Rolled out my leg on a rolling pin – (thanks for that, Katheryn!) Like so: and had a hotel bed pre-marathon dinner time picnic. (my current fav salad mess, half a bagel, Brussels sprouts, Buffalo … Read more
T minus 36 hours until Steamtown, tonight has been all about getting ready for a three hour road trip to Scranton, PA tomorrow and then a 26.2 mile race on Sunday. I’m definitely excited to run this marathon, but I ain’t gonna lie – I’m plenty nervous too, mostly about my knee. I’ve been stretching … Read more
