Oh, I have missed you, blog and blog readers! I have been so busy at work and then I went on vacation and now I am back at work and sort of on a detox 🙂 Not that I ate badly, but I did let myself eat whatever I wanted while on vacation and it…… Continue reading I am back…
Yesterday was a beautiful day, it was wonderful and I loved driving with my windows rolled down last night as I drove from Rachel’s house to home. It was low humidity, and it felt cool. I cannot wait for fall weather! Today was a different story. It was hot and even worse… it was humid.…… Continue reading Holy Heat!
The week leading up to a big race is always so weird for me. I guess tapering is not my normal routine, and it throws me off a little bit. When I’m not running as much, I’m not as hungry. So I eat less and by the end of the week I’m exhausted. I also…… Continue reading Wrapping up the work week…
Wow, I am so ready to hit the hay – but I wanted to do a brief recap before I do. I was able to get up a little earlier than I did the day before, it has been hard to get up so early this week. Is it because it is so cold? I…… Continue reading 2012 – Day 18 National Soup Day
… have been crazy busy! Sometimes I feel like there are not enough hours in the day – and when the holiday season comes around, sometimes I don’t feel like I have nearly enough time to get everything done. But the last couple of days have been really fun. On Saturday my family ran in…… Continue reading The last couple of days…

During that hour and a half I did the following: Made Mark Bittman’s pasta fagioli soup (one of my favorite winter meals!) (This includes chopping onions [and crying of course], a couple of cloves of garlic, parsley,…… Continue reading A Great Lunch…
One of AFM’s good friends writes a blog. A few days ago he started writing out what he eats every day. I love the format because it is so simple. So, here you go: 11AM banana 12:30 PM Peanut butter & jam sandwich on whole grain bread; 1 small apple 4:15PM Kashi chewy granola bar…… Continue reading More soup…
It’s that time of year again. Yes, time for pumpkin soup. I had some for lunch today, I did not make it myself – I bought it from the caf at work. It was pretty good for a non-homemade soup, I must say. I could taste a bit of salt in it, but it was…… Continue reading Pumpkin Soup
Some days I do not mind having dinner at work. Especially when I plan ahead… but let’s rewind a bit, I’ll get to dinner in a moment. I got to work a few minutes before 11 o’clock this morning. Ugh. So late. There was a lot of traffic, a lot of rain, and unfortunately a…… Continue reading Dinner at work…
… Soup. I had so many ideas for soup today. Carrot ginger soup.  Bittman’s pasta fagioli.  Julia’s boeuf bourguignon. My own butternut squash soup. Jenna’s  white chicken chili.  My mom’s french onion soup. I needed soup for dinner tonight. On the train home tonight I decided to make chicken noodle soup. I know, compared to what I…… Continue reading What is the cure for another rainy day?
