Butternut Bacon Pasta

Adrienne, Punky, and I headed out for our walk this morning without so much as glancing outside. We were half way through our route when I realized that it couldn’t be more than 50 degrees outside. Luckily, I had the foresight to put a hat on my little bald baby, but her poor little hands … Continue reading »

Summer Angel Hair

Vegetarian month is going really well so far. Meeker has lost 9 pounds since the beginning of the month (almost a pound a day, yikes!). And that’s only because he says that there are no options when you’re a vegetarian and he might as well just not eat. I keep reminding him that this was … Continue reading »

Off to eat ice cream…

Eeeee! We (almost) made it to Thursday! I feel like the last two days of the week are manageable, now. We had another power outage at school this afternoon – and it was a chaotic last hour of the day. I’m glad to be home. Breakfast I refueled after my workout with a green monster: … Continue reading »

Extrovert

I totally forgot how much energy I get from being around people all day!! I am just buzzing right now…bzzzz. I am a true extrovert. My first day of school went well! We didn’t have kids today (they come Monday), but we spent the day getting familiarized with our new igoogle system which I am … Continue reading »

I’m a crazy person.

I let very few people into my crazy psyche. I think four people in my life have ever seen me lose it. Maybe five. But, I’m about to reveal a crazy moment to you all: Today, I set an arbitrary goal to run 2 miles/sub 14:00. This might not sound awesome to a lot of … Continue reading »

Hello, Monday.

(Say that title like “Hello, Newman”) Eeesh it was tough getting up this morning, no? Well, I guess if you didn’t have a whirlwind spring break trip like I did, it might not have been so bad. I was seriously dragging this morning, but the day was surprisingly quick and painless. Foooood… Oats, kabocha, pepitas, … Continue reading »

Mundane Monday

Today was fairly uneventful which, – in the world of 3rd grade teachers – is a pretty good thing.  My eats, however, were anything but mundane. They were outstanding…and oh so filling. Lunch was an enormous salad – that kept me full for 4.5 hours. Bottom to top: raw cabbage, steamed carrots and broccoli, hummus, … Continue reading »

It’s a good news/bad news kind of situation…

The Office, anyone? The title comes from one of my favorite episodes when Michael hits the rabies-infected-Meredith with his car. Anyway…on to the eats. I started my day with some coffee out of my favorite mug. I also had 2 (really tiny…like the size of my fist) pumpkin pancakes and one slice of Ezekiel toast … Continue reading »

Thursday, really.

Yesterday, I thought the entire day was Thursday. I even started passing out “Thursday Folders” to the kiddos – until the class of third graders politely reminded told me how wrong I was. What a bummer. However, today really was Thursday, and I had good eats to go along with my favorite day of the week. … Continue reading »
