I hope it’s been a great Tuesday for everyone! This week is equal parts flying by and going slow…I feel like it should be Thursday because of how much I’ve already packed in. I’m taking it all in stride though. I have really improved my ability to give myself a break when I feel like my plate is overly full. I know it’s unrealistic to think I can get it all done so if I get the most important things done, I take a deep breath and leave the rest for another day. It’s been very freeing.

Quick update today on things I’ve been eating lately along with giveaway winners and my upcoming workshop/event/training schedule.

Recent Eats

12.8wfchocalmondbutter

Apples and peanut butter or almond butter has been a daily afternoon snack for me. I am officially ADDICTED to this Wild Friends Chocolate Almond Butter with Crunch Almond Pieces. After I posted about the holiday flavors that we ordered, the gals from Wild Friends sent me a few other flavors to try and might I say that this even beats chocolate peanut butter? Yes, that good!

12.8wrap

Wrap with apples, chicken, spinach, tomatoes, honey dijon and cheddar.

12.8quinoachickpea

Quinoa, chickpeas and cranberries over spinach and topped with feta and avocado. One of my students brought this to me leftover from a holiday party and it’s awesome.

12.8fallsalad

I am obsessed with this salad combo that I’ll be sharing with you soon.

12.8saladsquashbeets

So much so that we have had it for dinner THREE TIMES in the last week and we never do salads for dinner! It features a warm, seasonal, flavorful mix of toppings that go so well together.

12.8pho

Veggie pho date with a friend.

12.8cornishhen

Roasted cornish hen over red onions, potatoes and brussels sprouts.

12.8bacornishhen

Served with stuffing. This was a Blue Apron “Thanksgiving for Two” themed meal.

12.8baburger

Burgers on ciabatta rolls with fontina, a lemon aioli and dressed, shredded lacinto kale with roasted potatoes and carrots. I loved this burger. Another Blue Apron meal. My fiance said he never knew he liked kale on a burger but wants it on every burger he eats after this!

12.8blueapronmeatballs

Last BA meal…chicken meatballs over celeriac mash with braised kale. This was my first time cooking with celeriac and we both kind of looked at each other and said…”this is different.” Not bad different, but really different.

Have you tried celeriac? What did you think? Any good recipe suggestions?

Goodbye Sweet Zoey

Goodbye Sweet Zoey

I am sitting down to write this post with teary eyes and a heavy heart. On New Year’s Eve we said goodbye to Zoey. It seems like only yesterday that I brought this fluffy nugget home. Many of you have been here with me since Zoey was a puppy. She was the sweetest little sister [...]

Three Days in Scottsdale + Climbing Camelback Mountain

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost a month since I ran the Every Woman’s Marathon! One of the fun things about this year’s race was getting to visit Scottsdale, Arizona. It was my first time in Arizona and while it was a quick trip, I tried to maximize my time there. Here’s a [...]

Thankful in Florida

Thankful in Florida

I am settled in back at home after a very special Thanksgiving in Florida. I cherish all of our trips to Florida but this one was extra meaningful because we had a bigger holiday crew this year. My cousin’s family came down and it was just the best to have a big tableful of people [...]

Every Woman’s Marathon Scottsdale Recap (marathon #4!!!)

Every Woman’s Marathon Scottsdale Recap (marathon #4!!!)

I am on a three-hour flight home from Scottsdale so it seems like the perfect time to relive and recap yesterday’s Every Woman’s Marathon experience. I had a great day and I’m very proud of the race that I ran. It was a practice in “fun running” and that not every race effort has to [...]
