I received a question on my last post about whether I’m a crunchy or soft cookie fan.
I am 100% in the soft cookie camp. My dad started me on this young. He made the best chocolate chip cookies and always under baked them.
Although I must agree with Tiff that cookie dough is also delicious and the highlight of baking homemade cookies.
Mmm….cookies. Which side are you on – crunchy or soft cookies? Random side note, although I love soft cookies, I also love frozen chocolate chip cookies right out of the freezer. Weird, I know. Don’t knock it ’til you try it! 😛
Okay, so I’ve eaten things other than cookies over the last few days (although we just polished off the last of the cookies I made Sunday!).
Dinner Monday night was cajun tilapia with roasted sweet potatoes and roasted broccoli.
Breakfast today after teaching a vinyasa flow class was overnight oats in a TJs peanut butter jar. In the mix was oats, cinnamon, dried cranberries, chia seeds, apple, banana, Greek yogurt and almond milk. I swirled a little pumpkin butter on top.
Lunch was a tofu sandwich with tomato, spinach and smoked gouda. Carrots and Kettle Chips on the side.
And finally, dinner tonight was pasta with vodka sauce. We have been on quite the pasta kick lately, huh? Brandon and I had a discussion that Italian is probably our favorite cuisine because it includes pizza and pasta…which clearly we eat a lot of. 😉
Time to write a guest post and prep for tomorrow morning’s yoga class. Hope y’all are having a wonderful week.

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 [...]
