Over this past weekend I spent a couple of hours on food prep for the work week. I made salads for lunch and egg sandwiches for breakfasts. I spent two hours preparing these foods, and it paid off every day for the rest of the week. I kept thinking “This is the best two hours…… Continue reading Food Prep
I really need to make new dinners more often. Tonight’s dinner was really new and exciting to me! I made a chicken and chickpea curry. Before I started working on the curry, I grabbed my rice cooker from it’s trusty hiding spot and started on my basmati rice. I love that I can just start…… Continue reading A New Dinner

Leave it to me to decide to get back into running just in time for our first winter storm… There is something about a snow storm that makes me sleep in. If I know I don’t have work in the morning, and I know it is snowing, I will just sleep. This morning I finally…… Continue reading Running Fuel
