We really love Asian inspired flavors and foods in our house. The other day SC asked me if I wanted chicken noodle soup while I was feeling under the weather – and I answered that I definitely did not. (That night I settled on some Annie’s mac and cheese with broccoli and turkey meatballs -…… Continue reading Pho Inspired Soup

On Friday night I decided to make a dinner that we don’t usually have at home. It was a little rich – and we do not tend to have dinners full of rich, creamy, bacon-y food. But I needed it and it was good for the soul. The idea came to me during a walk…… Continue reading Friday Night – Comfort Food

The title of this blog post about sums up my day. I got up at 5:20 AM. I drove to work, I worked all day, I got out for a quick walk at lunch (it was almost fifty degrees in Boston today which is downright amazing!!!), went back to work, ended work, went for a…… Continue reading Work, walking, running & food

This weekend saw the first big snowstorm for the East Coast this winter. Somehow we missed the brunt of the storm, but it was still enough snow for me to cancel my Saturday evening plans which was a real bummer. On Saturday we got out the crock pot to make a bunch of shredded chicken!…… Continue reading Snow Day Food

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

Fall is my favorite season – for so many reasons. I love the brisk, cooler temperatures. The weather is usually perfect for running outside and for sleeping with your windows open at night. Of course, there is the food. I love pumpkin, apples, squash and comfort food in general. During the summer I tend to…… Continue reading My Favorite Season
