Cookies and running

Really I feel like that’s all I have to tell you about. It’s been pretty boring around these parts lately (I will explain why later) and I find myself wandering around the house wasting my time on random things instead of being productive. Last night was researching haircuts for Thursday mornings’ appointment (kind in theContinue Reading

Raised beds and fro yo

The title pretty much sums up my weekend. Seriously. My dad came into town Friday night and we watched a little bball and had a little pizza.  And then, because I have a crazy sweet tooth which was inherited from my dad, convinced him we needed treats.  Normally our thing is Dairy Queen – BlizzardsContinue Reading

2 workouts, 2 cookies, 2 cars

Big news around here my friends. My camera is back!!  I was worried it wasn’t going to be back in time for the holidays but it made it.  Expensive lesson learned: do not tote it around in a cinch sack with minimal padding when gallivanting around San Francisco.  Just use the camera bag, even ifContinue Reading

Beet brownies

Beet brownies

So the last time we were at Costco I told Chris I HAD to have the party sized box of pre-steamed baby beets.  He told me it was an impulse purchase.  I told him he was wrong.  I’d eat all the beets in my lunches. Um, that’s a lot of beets.  After going through aContinue Reading

2 October Challenges, family visits + I can’t stop eating M&Ms

Couple things to talk about today…the most interesting might be that I physically cannot stop eating M&Ms.  Like seriously impossible.  My mom gave me a bag of the minis which she said we were suppose to save and give out as Halloween Candy (um, have you met me and my sweet tooth) and I wasn’tContinue Reading

Happy Monday + Grilled sweet potatoes

Now that Monday’s pretty much over is it bad that I’m already counting down to Friday? I honestly have no big plans but I think the fact that summer is almost over makes me appreciate it more.  I realized I can’t remember the last time I actually sat outside in my Adirondack chair drinking coffeeContinue Reading

Fun with protein powder on a Friday night

Wild Friday night over at this house.  Let me tell you.  While Chris is off in Vegas at a Bachelor party I decided to experiment with protein powder and see what kind of semi healthy treats I could make.  I made 3 things and while all of them are delicious, I don’t know how “healthy”Continue Reading

Trying new things

Chris is gone this week on a work trip which means I got to be a little more experimental in the kitchen.  While Chris will always try what I make, I don’t want to make him try something gross so I like to test most new creations out before I debut it.  Glad I did. Continue Reading

Chocolate Chunk Protein Cookies

So last week I was craving sugar like a crazy woman.  I have a huge sweet tooth so craving sugar is not totally abnormal around here but last week it was out of control.  Like I’d start craving it after lunch and the craving basically wouldn’t go away until in a huge moment of weaknessContinue Reading

Day in pictures – Pacific City

This is my day Wine tasting at Willakenzie. A windy/rainy/hail-filled hike up a sand dune. Haystack Rock. Delicious cream ale at Pelican brew pub. The most amazing dessert – white chocolate creme brûlée with salted caramel crust and a hazelnut cookie.Continue Reading
