Woohoo! It is the Friday before Christmas – AND the second to last Friday of 2013. In honor of that, I’m going to do a bit of a retrospective and highlight my five favorite posts of 2013. This has been a great year and while I highlighted my year in running yesterday, it got me […]
Slow Cooker Kale And Artichoke Dip
Now is the season that I make everything I possibly can in my crock pot. And since that includes yummy snacks and dips, this week’s recipe is a throwback to one I posted almost a year ago. I made spinach dip in my crock pot and it was a big hit. This time, I decided […]
Slow Cooker Chicken & Biscuits Recipe
Now that the weather is getting colder, I’m relying on my crock pot more and more to provide meals. I love how I can just throw in ingredients, go to work and then come home to dinner! Last week, I revisited one of my favorite cold weather recipes, chicken and biscuits a la crock pot. […]
Marathon Week: The Final Countdown
Happy Friday! It’s Marathon Friday and so of course this week’s Friday Five is Richmond Marathon inspired! Link up with Mar on the Run, You Signed up for What and I with your Friday Five post and you can grab our new badge on my sidebar! I recently discovered Rock My Run and I love […]
Run + barre + an easy dinner
Last week, I ran a quick mile before an hour long barre class at Barre 3 in Georgetown. I was nervous about how I’d feel during barre class, but in truth I loved it! I felt like the quick run was an excellent warm up. And in turn, the barre class left me all stretched […]
Let’s talk CSA!
You may be wondering what exactly a CSA is. Well, a CSA is a Community-Supported Agriculture program. Okay, so what does that mean? Well… Here are the basics: a farmer offers a certain number of “shares” to the public. Typically the share consists of a box of vegetables, but other farm products may be included. […]
A Sammie with a Twist
Tomatoes. Mozzarella. Basil. This combination is probably my absolute favorite flavor combination and I think I could eat it all day. In the summertime with farm fresh tomatoes it is that much better. After spending last Saturday morning picking up goodies at my farmer’s market, I thought I’d combine my favorite flavors with one of […]
Easy Homemade Breadsticks
Some nights you just need carbs. I recently had a night where all I wanted was a glass of wine and breadsticks. I had the wine but no breadsticks – so what’s a gal to do? Clearly, I just got creative and made my own using the pizza dough I had in my fridge. It […]
Homemade Peach Cobbler
This past weekend, I decided the time was ripe for me to make my famous (in my house at least!) peach cobbler. I look forward to making this all year but wait for the very best peaches because in my mind, why make peach cobbler if you are not going to use the best peaches […]
A Total Body Circuit
I created the circuit below because I wanted something that would be easy to do while traveling and that didn’t require any equipment. After doing a fun Pilates workout Tuesday morning, I came home after work and did this bad boy while waiting for dinner to finish cooking. It was the perfect after work workout […]
