The last couple of days have been windy and cold. I’m going to let that be the reasoning for skipping yesterday evening’s run (instead of my propensity for laziness and making excuses). Plus, after convincing Mark to sign up for Color Me Rad as well, I’m not too concerned about whether I run the entire…

Health in the Workplace
As health insurance premiums have sky-rocketed over the last decade, employers have begun to implement some creative changes in the office. This NYT article has shone the light on somewhat controversial practices and programs. I believe employer sanctioned and sponsored wellness initiatives are a wonderful idea on the surface. It’s no surprise that over-stressed, under-nourished,…
MIMM #4: Officially a Runner
Did everybody’s weekend fly by the way mine did? Despite feeling cheated of my days off, Monday began well with this energizing breakfast smoothie. Believe it or not, it actually kept me full until lunch (well, I did have a tiny handful of trail mix). Ingredients 2 handfuls spinach ½ cup Greek yogurt ½ banana…
Spring is in the Air (+ WIAW #20)
Not only is it one of my favorite days, but it’s the first official day of spring! I’m sure all you northerners are rejoicing toward the heavens, but around these parts (said in a most exaggerated southern accent), the azaleas are in bloom, the birds are singing, and my car is coated with a thick…
Review: A Place At the Table
Yesterday I briefly mentioned that we saw the new documentary, A Place at the Table, over the weekend. Since the film evoked a strong emotional response from me, I feel it deserves a full review. If you’ve seen or read various food politics and food industry related films or books, then some of the statistics…
St. Patrick’s Day Weekend
This St. Patrick’s Day weekend went by far too quickly. Following a ridiculously slow day at work Friday, Mark and I took advantage of a $50 gift certificate that he won from a local radio station and had dinner at The Pelican Reef restaurant. To be completely honest, we weren’t impressed. The food wasn’t bad,…
Green Eats #3: Aaahh! Green Monsters
Remember these guys from Nickelodeon way back in the day? Well, I’m here to talk about a different kind of monster. The Green Monster. I don’t know who is responsible for first putting spinach (or any other leafy green) into the blender and calling it a smoothie, but to whomever you are, thank you. I…
Exercise Benefits + WIAW #19
I’m probably a horrible person for wishing my life way, but I’m so happy it’s finally Wednesday, the ever-so-wonderful hump day. More importantly, I’m so happy that I’m able to walk like a normal (by appearance, anyway) person today! After having a frustrating day at work yesterday, I let out some steam during my evening…
Green Eats #2: Spinach and Sweet Pea Manicotti
Making pasta can be a simple and sneaky way to add vegetables to your diet—and I’m not just talking about a hearty marinara. Stuffed pasta is often decadent with its various meaty and cheesy fillings, but this delightful green manicotti stuffing is the perfect balance between indulgent and nutritious. Though Giada’s version is topped with…
Green Eats: “Edamummus”
In honor of St. Patrick’s Day next Sunday, this week I’ll be sharing some green recipes. Today’s involved 2 of my favorite foods: edamame and hummus! Though traditional chickpea and tahini hummus will always be my favorite, I will eat my weight in almost any kind of legume dip: flavored hummus (roasted red pepper is…
