From time to time I like to share things I’m loving with you. These posts can cover anything from beauty to food to fitness products and everything in between. Tonight we’re going to talk food.
2% plain Greek yogurt. Y’all…seriously. Take the plunge to 2%. It’s night and day difference in texture and taste.
Whole Foods’ Sparking Mineral Waters. My favorites are strawberry and lemon raspberry. I drink a lot of sparkling water/flavored seltzer because it’s a great refreshing carbonated alternative to soda with no added sweeteners, sodium, calories, etc.
Kale chips. Can’t get enough of them. Crispy, healthy and addictive. My base recipe is to tear a bunch of kale off the stem and rub with olive oil. Then I sprinkle it with sea salt and lemon pepper and roast at 400 for about 15 minutes. Even people who think they don’t like kale love kale chips.
Blue Diamond Honey Dijon Bold Almonds. I have tried so many of Blue Diamond’s almond flavors and I swear each one is just better than the last. The bold line is absolutely slammed with flavor. I can’t stop eating them!
Garden of Eatin’ Sweet Potato Corn Tortilla Chips. I love to eat some corn chips with my lunch bowls and enjoy the sweet and salty spin these put on them.
Green smoothies. I am on the biggest smoothie kick of my life. I am usually really take it or leave it with smoothies but I have been seriously craving them lately. This one was green, green, green with banana, spinach, mango, almond milk and ice. Simple and delicious.
What food product or food have you been loving lately?

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 [...]
