Good morning! You know how life seems to ebb and flow? There are good times, bad times and a lot of mundane in between. Over the last few weeks I’ve come to realize that I’m smack in the middle of one of those good times and feeling a deeper sense of peace and ease right now than I’ve felt in all of 2016. Nothing super special has happened but things just seem to be coming together in all the right ways on both a personal and professional level. And for that I feel really grateful.
I am also grateful for all of you. Thank you for reading and for sharing your comments on yesterday’s post. They were heartfelt and wonderful. I’ve also loved connecting with so many of you through the online half marathon training group. We ended up with almost 450 runners from all backgrounds and walks of life and it’s pretty cool to see everyone come together on a shared goal.
I didn’t intend to start today’s post on such a sappy note but I just wanted to share what was on my heart. <3
Now, let’s talk breakfast! I was browsing through my TimeHop this morning and saw that one year ago today I posted a big bowl of oatmeal. I realized that I haven’t eaten oatmeal since pre-Whole30 so I decided today was the day. It’s also the last day of August so I decided to bring together summer and fall with our oatmeal. We’re enjoying the last of South Carolina peach season and they’ve been big, juicy and sweet lately.
Peaches & Cream Egg White Oatmeal
I made peaches and cream oatmeal with chia seeds and egg whites and sweetened with mashed banana…no sugar added!
I mashed a banana and put it in a saucepan with coconut oil, raisins and peaches and then added all the other stuff. Here is the recipe for two servings.

Hello my friends! I hope this finds you enjoying all of the beauty and fresh starts that spring has to offer (and not too much of the sneezing and wheezing). Life has been good over here. I’m very much enjoying the longer days, cool mornings and warm afternoons and gorgeous blooms. Spring is so lovely [...]

I cannot believe it’s been nearly a month since I completed Moab Run The Rocks! It’s a three-day stage race in Moab, Utah that’s put on by the same race organization, TransRockies Rockies Race Series, that I did my six-day Colorado race with back in August. TransRockies truly excels when it comes to planning and [...]

This potato and broccoli cheddar soup is a warm hug in a bowl. It’s a mash up of potato soup meets broccoli cheddar soup, and makes for a creamy, hearty and cheesy bowl that has just enough broccoli in it to make you feel like you’re getting your veggies in for a complete meal. POTATO [...]
