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.

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.

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
There are plenty of good reasons to eat a salad – but I know that if I don’t make salad eating easy, it’s less likely to happen. I went a stretch of days without eating a salad (gasp!) and it took me a second to realize it was because I’d fallen behind on food prep. … Read more
