Since we spent both Friday and Saturday nights lounging around the house, we decided to go out to brunch on Sunday afternoon. Some of our usual favorites are Spot of Tea (we always split their Monte Cristo and enjoy some signature strawberry tea) and Kitchen on George. We wanted to try something different, so I…
Crockpot Challenge Wrap-up
Although I didn’t make it to 10 recipes in PBF’s Crockpot Challenge, I do feel like my attempt was a success! We tried 5 new-to-us recipes, and 4 of the 5 were dishes we’d gladly make again. Ever since we received our Crockpot as a wedding gift (nearly 5 years ago!), I’ve been saying that…
Having a (cake) ball on friday night…
How do you know that you’re an old married couple? When one of you spends Friday night baking these: And the other spends hours at a home improvement store buying materials to build this: Something possessed me to want to try my hand at cake balls, so that’s what I did. They’re cute, but truth…
WIAW #17: I’m no rabbit…
I have to admit that tonight’s post almost didn’t happen. I’m tired! I had a great workout at gymnastics tonight, thanks to being the only person in class for a good 15 minutes. Yesterday I completed a 1.5 mile run! My previous run (1 mile) was last Tuesday (yes, I slacked off Thursday and Saturday),…
A Taste of Fairhope Brewing Company
This past Saturday we finally visited the new Fairhope Brewing Company. Since its soft opening on January 6 and grand opening on February 16, the taproom has been bustling with business from thirsty beer-lovers. Though the brewery is small and its offerings are few (currently, there are 4 flagship beers on tap), this new establishment…
Farro with Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Carrots, and Onion
After last week’s lackluster meals, which came together from anything we could find in the freezer, pantry, or refrigerator, we spent the weekend meal planning and grocery shopping. Tonight’s dinner is a marriage between one of the greatest, most under-rated (in the non-food blogging world, at least) vegetables, brussels sprouts, and my newest culinary obsession, farro. Farro…
#16: What I Ate…While On Vacation!
It’s been a crazy busy week since returning from Clearwater & Orlando (a win for work, but a loss for the blog!)—but it wouldn’t be a proper Wednesday without linking up for What I Ate Wednesday. This week, I thought I’d share some of the fabulous (and disappointing) meals we consumed on vacation. First up:…
10 Tried and True Vegetarian Meals for Lent
Though I’m not Catholic, I did attend a Catholic college and usually make some sort of sacrifice during Lent. Last year, we gave up alcohol during the week. Though we don’t drink a lot, we do often enjoy a beer or glass of wine with dinner. That honestly wasn’t too difficult, and we avoided consuming…
10 Valentine’s Day Gifts for the Fitness Lover
Maybe it’s because I didn’t date a lot in high school or college (my longest dating “relationship” prior to meeting Mark was just 3 months!), but I’ve never been a huge fan of Valentine’s Day. My parents would always give me cards and candy, and while I enjoyed the grammar school tradition of passing out…
Mile Accomplished + WIAW #15
I always love Wednesdays, but I’m especially fond of today. In exactly one week, I will be at Harry Potter World sipping butter beer and learning how to use a magic wand! 🙂 Another reason I’m particularly happy today is my achievement of a small fitness goal. Last Thursday, Sunday, and yesterday, I ran a…
