I wish I could have this type of day every day. It may lose its appeal after some time, but it was just right for today. Breakfast was so leisurely, it felt indulgent. Good thing I’m still on vacation. I used my new stovetop espresso maker to create a semi-latte. And what I mean by … Continue reading »

I like smushy

Dial D for Dessert
I have had some pretty fantastic things to eat since the last time I checked in. Last night while watching some weird zombie movie called Fido (Meeker picked it from instant Netflix…he loves zombies…what a nerd) I made an oatmeal sundae (a la Sarah). Best. Idea. Ever. This is so good – it deserves its … Continue reading »
Buried
We were supposed to go on a field trip today… This was taken at 8am, after Meeker attempted to dig us out, and it has been snowing like crazy all day long. If you didn’t already guess…I had another snow day today! I can’t really believe it. Consecutive snow closures haven’t happened (to me) since … Continue reading »
Salad and Snow
This morning started out in a rush… I woke up early enough, but then got sidetracked reading blogs, and was subsequently rushing to get ready for church. As a result, breakfast was quick. Coffee and this smoothie (I’m still living off post-race swag) which I drank half of last night, and half of this morning. … Continue reading »
Cake Lover
Love Saturdays. Who doesn’t? Slept in a bit again this morning, watched some Food Network, learned what Spatzle is and can’t wait to make it, got in a good davefarmar yoga session and went to lunch with a friend in Boulder. Full, fun day, and it’s only four o’clock (on the dot, I’m in my … Continue reading »
Top Ten
I’ve been pretty bored with my own posts/eating lately – so I’m mixing it up. I present to you…my top 10 foods, and how I like to eat them. In order… #1: A is for Apple Maybe it’s because I’m a teacher. Maybe it’s just a fantastic coincidence. Either way, I love big, crispy, juicy … Continue reading »
The Very Hungry Caterpillar
So far, day one of fall break has been a success. I slept in until around 7:30 – and lay in bed for another hour. Wonderful. Then I hopped up, threw on shorts, sweatshirt and a snow hat, and went to the doggie park for a couple of hours. The weather was nice and fall-like. … 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 »
Oats for Running
On mornings that I have a hard workout – like today – I like to have oatmeal as a way of patting myself on the back. It makes it special for me. It also holds my hunger longer, as I am usually a hungry monster on days that I push myself with the workouts. This … Continue reading »
