I have never been a smoothie fan until I started training for a half marathon. Now I am training for a full marathon and I am drinking, eating smoothies all the time. Sometimes, I have them pre-run but usually post run. So here is the one that freaks out all my friends. Undoubtedly, I get [...]

Coconut Water – Product Review
Posted in Fitness, Food and Recipes, Just my Thoughts, tagged hydration, coconut water, Vita Coco, Runner Dude on 16 July 2010 | 4 Comments »
Okay, so not just any coconut water. I want to tell you a bit about Vita Coco Coconut Water. You are probably thinking I have lost my marbles. I have to tell you when I first read about coconut water on Runner Dude’s blog, I hesitated. I don’t like coconut. I don’t like it shredded [...]
Friday Fun – Retake!
Posted in Family, Food and Recipes, Just my Thoughts, tagged happy hour, Viva, Friday on 9 July 2010 | 10 Comments »
So I posted some photos from a Happy Hour at Chapter House in Ithaca a couple weeks ago. Now summer has hit in earnest here in the Northeast, I wanted sunshine and outside for happy hour. Did I find it? You bet! Didn’t even really have to go looking as I knew where I was [...]
Do You Eat Meat?
Posted in Fitness, Food and Recipes, Just my Thoughts, tagged diet, fish, food, meat, nutrition, vegetarianism on 29 June 2010 | 14 Comments »
I was at a wedding on the 19th, actually in the buffet line at the reception, when it dawned on me. I had not eaten any meat since Wednesday night’s dinner. This was definitely not intentional up to that point. I did, though, intentionally eat only the veggie lasagna as an entrée that night. Truthfully, I had [...]
The Last Time
Posted in Family, Food and Recipes, Just my Thoughts, tagged baby, breast milk, breast pump, breastfeeding, nourishment, twins on 27 June 2010 | 12 Comments »
A friend told several of us that she was nursing her child for the last time and it was a bittersweet feeling. Strangely, I remember the feeling and my “baby” is 15 years old. My thoughts did not necessarily turn to the last time I nursed that baby but more to the twins. With the [...]
Organic or Not?
Posted in Food and Recipes, Just my Thoughts, tagged budget, fruit, organic, vegetables on 17 June 2010 | 3 Comments »
Everyone says you should buy organic. While I think a lot of organic foods are good, I say you should buy local before worrying about organic. A lot of local foods are organic also. Then, I hear the argument that people on tight budgets cannot afford organic produce. I do understand this issue. Trust me! [...]
Peanut Butter Preference?
Posted in Food and Recipes, Just my Thoughts, tagged fiber, Naturally More, peanut butter, protein on 16 June 2010 | 21 Comments »
Do you have a favorite peanut butter? I have to be honest and say that at points in my life PB was not a priority. I would just buy whatever was cheapest. I no longer think this way. Now, I look for more in my PB. The other day I was wondering the aisles at [...]
Sunny Saturday
Posted in Food and Recipes, Just my Thoughts, tagged Cayuga Lake, ithaca, Six Mile Creek Winery, wine tasting on 5 April 2010 | 2 Comments »
I have to admit I tried to cram as much as I possibly could into Saturday as the weather was amazing! Saturday’s mid-80 temps may mean summer was here and gone but the sun and heat were fantastic! On the way home from Ithaca, my daughter and I stopped in at Six Mile Creek Winery. [...]
Lenten Fish Fry
Posted in Food and Recipes, Just my Thoughts, tagged fish fry, lent, photos on 29 March 2010 | 4 Comments »
Regardless of where you turn here in my area, there is a Friday Fish Fry going on during Lent. If you are not going to or working a Fish Fry, you are probably having pirogi at another church. Since the Photo Club I go to has food as the photographing assignment this month, I decided to take [...]
Leftovers
Posted in Food and Recipes, Just my Thoughts, tagged leftovers, stir fry on 27 March 2010 | 1 Comment »
You would think that leftovers was a four letter word at my house. Once we have a meal, heaven must send little messages to my kids saying do not eat that again. Do not reheat. It amazes me that they will gush – yes, literally gush – over a dish but then not want to [...]
