I am astounded at how generous the families of my students are. Without fail, I have gotten a “treat” (or 3) each day for…I don’t even remember. A month?! Sometimes it’s an apple (my favorite treat) – but today was baked goods. I guess I was okay with that too… From left to right (back … Continue reading »

Smells Like Fall…
Good Morning! The first thing to go when work gets busy is my intake of protein. It is so much easier and (for me) more satisfying to eat fruit, bread and cookies. So this morning’s breakfast was my best effort at “comforting protein”… Looks icky – but trust me and Emily, it was dang good. … Continue reading »
Day Off
Hello there! Good to be back. Yesterday was a long one – at school from 7am – 8:30pm. I had parent teacher conferences yesterday and today – and then next week is FALL BREAK! Yeehaw! I had to take the today off to get a couple of things taken care of – but now it … Continue reading »
Highlights
This weekend was full of food highlights. Let me share. Last night we went to Blockbuster for the first time in forever (we had a gift card) and got the first 3 eppies of Mad Men (which I didn’t really care for…). Dinner was from the bulk bins at Sprouts. Best dinner ever: dried apple … Continue reading »
Mostly Lazy Day
I had plans for my LAST “long” run before my race next weekend, however….I woke up to 18*F and snow. So I watched a movie and tried a new recipe instead. My brother sent me a recipe for quinoa a few weeks ago – and this morning I tried it out. I posted the exact … Continue reading »
Reprieve
Colorado is crazy. Yesterday was snow. Today was sun. (Yeah, that’s my reflection in the window.) But I’m not complaining. We are supposed to get a big storm tomorrow. I got to come home EARLY because I got my grades posted, and Meeker and I took the puppy to the dog park. It was gorgeous. … Continue reading »
1,2,3,4…
Baking went well last night. In fact, I may have gone a little overboard. However, the cookies are in the freezer, and the coffee cake is going to school. I probably won’t eat it all myself. Breakfast was the messiest. One… Two… Three… Four… …tell me that you love me more (you know that song … Continue reading »
Uh, Fall?
Colorado decided to boycott fall, and move right on to winter. I’m pretty upset about it. Like a moron, I promised my kiddos that we could go out for extra recess this afternoon – so I stood in the blowing snow for a good 30 minutes. Miserable. Let’s move on to a more pleasant subject. … Continue reading »
Is it possible…
…that I am turning into a savory person?! Nah. Couldn’t be. Probably just a weird phase. In any case. It is FAAREEZING here, and it is supposed to snow for the next 3 days. Aaah!! That means I want warm/spicy/comforting food. So here is breakfast. 1/3 cup oats 2/3 cup water Then added… ¼ cup … Continue reading »
Yes, I want a latte.
The end of the grading period is tomorrow, and the parents are doing everything they can to assure their students get good grades this quarter. I got two lattes this morning. I actually have genuinely kind and generous parents; I just thought this was funny. Along with the lattes, I had a mug of hot … Continue reading »
