There was a great story on running airing on NPR on my way home tonight. Check it out! 😀 I really hope to get back to running soon. I miss it so much. I miss the fact that you can run anywhere. I just love driving somewhere after work and going for a run. Short…… Continue reading Running and more stuff…
Hey All. For as long as I can remember, I have been wanting to make a strata. I have had strata once or twice in my life. I have no idea why I always think about it when I am contemplating things to bake. I always remember the scene in The Family Stone when Sarah…… Continue reading My First Strata!
The last couple of days have been filled with some really good food. Mark made dinner on Wednesday night – a salad and some awesome Buitoni mushroom ravioli. I picked up a loaf of rustic bread. Mark made garlic and butter toast to go with our meal. Yum: I love these raviolis, just so you…… Continue reading Fantastic Food…
So, when it is super hot out what else should you eat but hot “tex-mex” food???? Hee-hee-hee. I was flipping through my America’s Test Kitchen cookbook, and I came across a beef taco recipe. Not only do you season all of the beef, etc. (no more taco seasoning packets – ever!!!!) but you make your…… Continue reading Taco Night…
Hi! Last night, out of desperation, I went to the market. It was a quick, and great shopping experience as my basket was filled to the brim with fresh produce! Now I just have to make sure to eat it all before I leave on Saturday. I am pretty sure I can do it :)…… Continue reading Yes, I still eat food…

I am still resting my leg, yet another day on the couch reading and letting the fans blow on…… Continue reading It is too hot to eat…

Being on vacation for almost six days (who’s counting?? 🙂 ) was simply amazing. I loved every moment of it, and I wish I was still on vacation!! But I am…… Continue reading I’m baaacckk..!
…’til vacation! That’s right. I’m going on a sort of mini-vacation and I only have one more day of work this week! I am so excited. I actually cannot remember the last time I went on vacation. I was getting so excited for vacation, it was sort of hard to concentrate at work today. But…… Continue reading Counting Down…
Mark came to our house on Sunday after a long day of driving. I was excited to make dinner for him after his really long day of driving from Virginia. I had warm brie with apricot jam, crackers, french bread and cheese sticks waiting for him. Mark helped me grill the pesto chicken. We had…… Continue reading Brie and Pesto Chicken
Happy weekend everyone! I was soo exhausted yesterday that by last night I decided I was not setting my alarm this morning and I would sleep as late as I wanted. I slept until 10:15 this morning and I felt so much better after a good night’s sleep. By eleven this morning, mom and I…… Continue reading I love Trader Joe’s
