I like to poke around the web and read lots of different blogs. When I find some good ones I'll highlight them in the "Blog Assembly" posts. Here are three blogs I recently found that are mostly about running that I've enjoyed: Skinny Runner - this girl cracks me up every day. But jokes aside, she… Continue reading Blog Assembly: For Runners

Popeye & Protein
It's so cold in Kansas today! I woke up and the radio said it was 5 degrees F outside. I had the hardest time getting out of bed. We turn the heater way down at night and pile on the blankets to save energy (and money) so the house is super cold in the mornings. … Continue reading Popeye & Protein

Books!
I've said over on my Resources tab that I love to read. Lately I've been a maniac on my library's website, reserving all kinds of books. Yesterday I went to the library on my lunch hour and had FOUR more books to pick up! From top to bottom we have: In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan… Continue reading Books!

Every once in a while I like to flex my cooking muscles by attempting a complex recipe. Something completely from scratch that is a little more difficult that what I normally whip up on a Tuesday night. This usually occurs on special occasions, as was the case last weekend for Valentine's Day. I recently checked… Continue reading Baked Pumpkin Ziti

Easy Baked Polenta

Kiss Me I’m Natural!
What you put ON your body is almost as important as what you put IN your body. Did you know that your skin absorbs 60% of what you put on it? Think about everything you put on your skin every single day. For me, I use face wash, body wash, face lotion, body lotion, deodorant and… Continue reading Kiss Me I’m Natural!

Recycled Seed Containers
If you are planning a garden this year, you have two options for growing plants. One option is to buy seedlings at a local nursery and transplant them into your garden. The second option is to start your own seeds indoors and grow your own seedlings.

Not Everything’s a Winner
This morning I put some pinto beans in the crockpot to cook all day for a recipe that I'm experimenting with for the meal plan I'm trying to create. This evening after working out I was excited to see how they were doing, so I immediately went to the kitchen as soon as I got… Continue reading Not Everything’s a Winner

Whole Wheat Pastry Flour is My New BFF
Whole wheat pastry flour and I have been flirting for a while. I bought it in small quantities from the bulk bins and used it here and there when a recipe specifically called for it. But I recently took our relationship to the next level. I bought a huge bag of it and have started sneaking it into practically… Continue reading Whole Wheat Pastry Flour is My New BFF
