Hi and happy Tuesday! I know it’s cliche to talk about the weather but it’s been 30 degrees and raining in Charlotte for the last three days. I’m really over the winter and really ready for spring. You know what else we can talk about? WHERE IS FLIGHT 370!? I have been following this story nonstop. Did it crash? Did it land? How long did it fly? Where did it go!? I feel sorry for all the families that are left wondering. They must be in so much pain as they wait for answers.
I do have something good to share with you today. A recipe for bacon wrapped pork tenderloin. I promise that it’s super easy and very delicious.
I stayed in on Friday and Saturday night last weekend because teacher training weekends are physically and mentally exhausting. Friday night pizza was a no brainer but I wanted to do something a little special on Saturday but easy. I had a pork tenderloin and applewood smoked bacon in my fridge so I decided to combine the two and make a bacon wrapped pork tenderloin. Anything wrapped in bacon becomes 100x better, right?

It’s also extremely simple to prepare. This would be a great entertaining or date night dish. (I promise any man will love this one.) All you have to do is season the pork with some salt and pepper, wrap it in bacon and stick it in the oven. Easy!

Are you in the camp that everything’s better with bacon?

I am such a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast. 95% of the time I’m craving a breakfast that is on the sweet side. That mostly alternates between smoothies or yogurt bowls with overnight oats, chia pudding or oatmeal occasionally thrown in there. On the rare occasion I go savory – it’s scrambled [...]

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]

Happy Friday! I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are in the dog days of it over here in Charlotte – the heat and humidity is off the charts – but it’s something I’ll embrace because I deeply appreciate the massive slow down that summer has brought. A lot of [...]

I recently traveled to Big Bear Lake, California for the inaugural Big Bear Peaks + Pines three-day stage race hosted by TransRockies Running. This was my third TransRockies event in 12 months (see also Colorado + Moab) and I’m here to tell you that they can do no wrong when it comes to race organization [...]

Happy weekend! Another week in the books! I got three runs in (6.5 miles, 5.5 miles, 5.5 miles) and I have a trail run planned for tomorrow. Total weekly mileage will end up around 30-35 miles depending on if I go for 13 or 17 tomorrow! I’m 16 weeks out from the Golden Ultra so [...]

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]

Hi and happy May! As we roll into the first full week of a new month, I have almost a month’s worth of lunch ideas for you. It’s a great mix of sandwiches, bowls, salads and wraps. I hope you enjoy and find some inspiration for your midday meal! Open-faced chickpea salad sandwich on toasted [...]
