Today I’d hoped to share how I finally ran a mile without stopping. I’m blaming the awful humidity and the half-awake stupor I was in, but Saturday’s run was worse than the previous two! No mile—yet. Also, my planned run for yesterday didn’t happen because it was extremely windy and raining. I did, however, do…

CrockPot Challenge #2: Simple Pulled Pork
I really need a smaller slow cooker. We received our giant 6-quart Crockpot as a wedding gift—and I’m pretty sure it’s the one we chose for the registry. It’s come in handy for cooking large amounts of beans and such, but for two small people, it’s a bit insane. The sheer size of our Crockpot…
MIMM #3: Kicking Off Carnival!
I know I’ve said that Thanksgiving/Christmas is my favorite time of year; while that’s still true, February-March is another favorite because it’s MARDI GRAS! There’s something marvelous about masked revelers, glittering beads dangling from centuries-old trees, a sense of community, and the abundance of good food and drinks, of course! I guess it would be…
You Can Cauliflower If You Want To
Remember this little guy from Bambi? Yeah, well, he’s the inspiration behind that lame title. Sorry. I just couldn’t help myself. Anyway, I’m usually not one to follow trends, but the appearance of cauliflower crust pizza on Pinterest and within the food blogging community has certainly piqued my interest. Like many people, I love pizza. It…
Almost a Mile + WIAW #13
Since I’m likely signing up for Color Me Rad in April, yesterday I decided it was time to bite the bullet and start training. I’m not a runner. In fact, I’ve always loathed running. Even when I excelled in every other category of the physical fitness testing in grammar school (I rocked the flex arm…
Of Bräts and Beer: A Review of the LoDa Biergarten
This past Friday night, Mark and I ventured to the newly opened LoDa Biergarten. The location has been home to two past favorites: Picklefish (another location is still kicking) and Hopjacks (Pensacola, FL), both of which offered some delicious pizza. As the name suggests, LoDa Biergarten is a German bar and restaurant. While they have…
Crockpot Challenge #1: French Onion Soup
Since Mark and I have historically used our slow cooker for only one dish (red beans and rice), I decided it would be fun to participate in the Peanut Butter Fingers Crockpot Challenge. By March, I hope to have tried at last 10 new recipes utilizing this wonderful piece of equipment. Last Sunday, we enjoyed…
WIAW #12 + New Workout Clothes
I’m so glad to be half-way through the week and to leave behind the dreary, rainy, foggy weather of the last few days. It hasn’t been especially cold, but with the monochromatic grayness, it sure has looked like winter. Last week the high temperature was around 76°, yet tomorrow, there’s a possibility of morning snow showers…
And the Beet Goes On…The Salad
Simple meals that can be thrown together without fuss or preparation are a lifesaver for families on the go. While I love a minimalist soup or stir-fry, the ultimate simple dish is, of course, the salad. This beautiful salad combines some of my favorite ingredients (spinach, beets, goat cheese, and walnuts) with a creamy and…
Monday Morsels: You know you’re a food blogger when…
People at work already think I’m weird (yes, a coworker actually told me this), but if they paid attention to me photographing my lunches and typing blog entries during slow days, they’d realize my weirdness knows no bounds. With that said, I give you: You know you’re a food blogger when… 1) …you eat your lunch extra slowly…
