I decided last year or the year below that I would do a different type of year in review. Below I have listed my favorite blog post for each of the 12 months in 2012. I did not have much trouble, except in July – where I picked two – and in December – where… Continue reading Year in Review
I follow Ashley Pettit Living on Twitter. She posts all these amazing recipes all the time. Some time ago, she posted a stuffed acorn squash recipe. While hers can be found here, I do not eat meat so had to do some modifications. Here is my stuffed acorn squash recipe. Step by step photos also.… Continue reading Stuffed Acorn Squash
I have been remiss in keeping you, loyal readers, up on what is going on in the Elf 4 Health Challenge. We are in week 5 and I am on my third elf. I have loved all the challenges so far and both my elves. The holidays have kept me from getting much writing done… Continue reading #Elf4Health
I know. It’s December 21st. What am I doing posting a list of possible gifts for the runner on your list? Let’s be honest. Someone, probably more than one someone, will be out there braving weather and crazy crowds this weekend to finish up, hopefully not to start, Christmas shopping. I want to help! Here… Continue reading Holiday Helper for the Runner on Your List

I want to tell you about another thing that I now consider indispensable. Aside from membership in a local running club, I think every runner should have a collapsible water bottle. My first… Continue reading Water Bottle

So today is the day. 18 weeks of training begins today. The calendar is set. I have plotted out my training schedule. The only… Continue reading And So It Starts
I am all for trying new things. I am still finding, other than beans, my go-to item as a vegetarian. Even this recipe has beans in it. I generally go to chick peas or black beans so like when things get mixed up with white beans. A warning on this recipe: I needed to add… Continue reading Spicy Bean Soup with Wild Rice
I have a lot of chili fans in the house but the reason I like chili is that I can make it and separate some out to make a vegetarian version for me while the kids have chili with meat in it. I also tend to use chili as a dish to use up meat… Continue reading Quick and Easy Chili
I love trying to put more veggies on the holiday table. Top that off with broccoli being a huge favorite around here and I decided that the new recipe for our Thanksgiving table would be Walnut and Cranberry Broccoli Salad from the November issue of EveryDay with Rachael Ray. Add to the delicious items in this salad… Continue reading Walnut and Cranberry Broccoli Salad
