It was too much to combine the family love and food love into one post yesterday. Especially given that I whipped up the best corn bread that I ever baked. I am very fortunate to come from a family that enjoys planing and preparing meals. Growing up my dad did most of the cooking (he’s [...]

Mexican Quinoa V2 + Strong & Confident
August 29, 2012 { 38 comments }I really loved all of the pet discussion today about food and training. I try to keep the blog mostly focused on food/fitness/lifestyle and try to not go overboard with the pet pictures/posts. I do consider owning a pet to be part of my lifestyle so I’m happy that the food post was well received. [...]

Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
August 27, 2012 { 33 comments }My Sunday activities consisted of sleeping in, making brunch, baking cookies, blogging, hot yoga, house cleaning and a meeting at lululemon. While I did keep myself busy, none of these were “have to do’s” and everything was done at a relaxed pace. It is still weird for me to wake up on Sunday morning and [...]

Blueberry Crumb Bars + A Dilemma
July 24, 2012 { 69 comments }Some of you might know this but I didn’t get my start with blogging on Peanut Butter Runner. I actually had my food/recipe blog, Bakin’ & Eggs, for two years before launching Peanut Butter Runner. I posted recipes there 3-5 times a week. I started PBR because I was constantly asked how I could bake [...]

Peanut Butter, Coconut and Fruit Granola Bars
March 12, 2012 { 35 comments }It’s been quite a Monday over here and I’ve been full-speed ahead since my feet hit the floor at 5:15 a.m. My first stop was the Y to teach 6 a.m. BodyPump and then back home to clean myself up and feed my starving belly. Strength training makes me so hungry! I got a little crazy [...]

Monkey Food
March 26, 2011 { 13 comments }So the name of this post came as a result of me asking Brandon what I should title it…he loves monkeys and in his mind bananas = monkeys…there you have it! ;) In the past I was never really in love with bananas. I thought they were just okay and they definitely weren’t a weekly [...]

Mexican Quinoa
October 20, 2010 { 22 comments }You request, I listen! Here is the recipe for the Mexican Quinoa. I think it’s apparent that quinoa is one of my new favorites. I discovered it during my 68 Days of Gourmet project on Bakin’ and Eggs. This recipe is responsible for the start of my obsession. I touched on the health benefits in [...]

Pancakes for Dinner
October 19, 2010 { 9 comments }My day started and ended with breakfast. Yum! Breakfast for dinner is the best and I don’t know why we don’t have it more often! Is anyone else a fan of breakfast for dinner? Before we get to the pancakes, let’s start at the beginning. Breakfast: overnight oats at my desk this morning. I was [...]

Pumpkin Banana Oatmeal
October 17, 2010 { 10 comments }Today I attended a workshop at my yoga studio from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. I needed a breakfast that would really stay with me and power me through a long day since I knew I wouldn’t want much for lunch. I know I’ve mentioned this before but it’s really hard for me to practice [...]

Back in the Kitchen
September 21, 2010 { 10 comments }The kitchen is one of my favorite places to be. It is a relaxing and creative place for me where I can forget about whatever else is going on at that moment. Life has been so crazy lately that I haven’t spent much time in my happy place. Since I’ve been on this break from [...]

Making the Most of It
April 20, 2010 { 12 comments }We had grand plans of packing yesterday afternoon but Brandon ended up at the Y and I decided to go to a hot yoga class at Y2. I have to be honest, I really wasn’t feeling it…at all…but I always go on Sunday afternoons when we’re in town and am pretty set in my routines. [...]
