I’ve been trying to figure out how to get back into an exercise routine. What should it look like? What kind of workouts should I start with? Should I unfreeze my gym membership, and how often should I go? Should I workout in the morning or afternoon? Should I train for a race? How should I start? Gah. Too many questions. Then I realized the answer is a simple one.…
While in Dallas last weekend, I not only got to get my bliss on, but I also had some good hang out time with my sister. As she was driving me to the airport yesterday, I realized we had failed to take a single photo together. So I pulled out my iPhone and attempted to get a good shot. (Don’t worry Mom, we were at a stop light.) Turns out,…
Today is the 21st which means it’s Recipe ReDux day. And it’s also my man’s birthday! Happy Birthday Jeff! In case you can’t tell, I’m a tad fond of him. Anyways… The Recipe ReDux challenge this month was to use a fresh green herb in a nontraditional way. I use fresh herbs all the time, but in a pretty boring and predictable manner.

I can’t take credit for this idea. My friend and fellow celiac Shannon told me about this unlikely pairing last summer, and I have been devouring it ever since. Sounds weird, doesn’t it?

Last weekend, we headed to the garden to grab the rest of the rainbow carrots. The kids and I had so much fun pulling them up, “oohing” and “ahhing” over the colors and shapes. Each pull was like a new surprise. Would it be yellow? Purple? Pink? Orange? We ended up with so many carrots that I decided to make what has become a favorite in our house: Creamy Carrot…
Leila and I experimented in the kitchen yesterday with some California raisins, nuts, chia seeds and cinnamon. We were trying to make a healthy snack that would be perfect for before dance class (her) or after a run (me). I thought for sure that we would have to do a few rounds to get them right, but BAM, the first try was just right. These raisin nut bites are sweet,…
Over the past few weeks, I’ve had the urge to purge. Organize. Clean. I couldn’t figure out why, especially since I’m not an organized person at heart. Then it hit me: I’m nesting. No, not that kind of nesting. Spring Training starts this week. Which means a huge shift in our schedule, and the start of a long baseball season. Apparently I’ve been subconsciously getting prepared for this big change…
