I have fallen right back into one of my old habits during the last couple of days of my vacation. Naturally, I am such a night person. Especially when it comes to reading, writing and blogging. I am so much more productive after 10:30 or 11 o’clock in the evening. However, during the week (when…… Continue reading Old Habits Die Hard…
I am back. I did go out for my first run since June. More importantly, I survived. It was not really fun, I must say. I did just over two miles (2.1) at varying tempos – anywhere pacing between 9:30 minutes per mile to 14:00 minutes per mile. At 1.35 miles my knee started to…… Continue reading A busy day so far
Hi Bloggies: It is amazing to me how quickly a week away from the office can fly by! I always like to have an idea of how I am going to spend my vacation week, and this week I was lucky enough to sort of stick with my “schedule”. Sunday through Wednesday: Camping.

I’m back. Today I made a huge salad, a mushroom and onion quiche and homemade macaroni & cheese with tomato and basil. I got to the grocery store at 10:45 this morning, spent about half an hour shopping and started prepping and cooking at around 11:30 after studying some cookbooks and having a cup of…… Continue reading Food is Love Part II

But here is food for thought: Quiche, homemade mac & cheese (with basil and tomatoes from the garden) and a salad of mixed greens, spinach and veggies. I’m…… Continue reading Homemade Food is Love
The key to a post camping dinner?? Keep it simple. That is what we did tonight. It was Mark’s brilliant idea to roast up some veggies and I added the curry cous-cous. It was a perfect combination. I will definitely be making this again at some point soon. Step One: Chopping up zucchini. Step Two:…… Continue reading Post – Camping Dinner: Keeping it Simple
I have survived returned from camping!! Mark and I just spent the last four days in the White Mountains. I had a lot of fun! Let us get one thing straight. I really like camping a lot. It’s border line love. But let me tell you – camping is a lot of work. You have…… Continue reading Back from camping…
Ok, so no one ever said that eating well is always easy. It is not. It involves planning ahead. I am one of those types that is really good for a long time and then I’ll get super busy, side tracked with work, commuting, etc. The first thing that usually falls by the way side…… Continue reading Prepping a lunch…
Hi readers – Have you ever had one of those nights where the entire evening just gets away from you? Wow, that totally happened to me last night. I ran a couple of errands on my way home from work, sat out on the deck and talked with Mark about our days, and before I…… Continue reading Ratatouille via Pepin
