I have been planing and wanting to make homemade hummus for a long time now. I was very excited to come home the other day and find this on the counter: My mom bought a cute little food processor! Finally my dreams have come true! (How’s that for dramatic.) But, really I already had a HUGE container of garlic that…

Thanksgiving Challenge
So, I decided to take the Thanksgiving Challenge proposed by Kath. Well, it is going to be harder than I thought. I am giving myself 20 bucks a week because it is just me technically, but realistically I am always at my mom’s or BF’s and I bring food over to their places which others eat. Luckily I do have a few staples to start off with. I went…

Day 89
I went to the Farmer’s Market during my lunch to get some cheap produce. I love Farmer’s Markets! I started today with a 45 min easy run while I waited for the polls to open. After running and voting I walked home and made some oats: I was unsatisfied when I got to work and wasn’t sure if I was…

Monday Recap
Here is a quick recap of my Monday. I don’t really need to do this, but I want to so I can keep track of what is working and what is not working. For lunch I had a pb&pb (peanut butter and pumpkin butter) sammie, greek yogurt with more pumpkin butter to sweeten it up and grapes. I brought 1/2…

Bad Long Run…Grams' B-day
Hello, here is a quick recap of the weekend. My long run was not good yesterday. I was scheduled to do 14 miles and ended up doing 11 bad ones. I slept in after staying up late (for me anyways) and got a late start. By the time I started running it was close to 9am and pretty hot, which…

Halloween Dress Up
Yes, I am one of those people who dresses up their dogs. This year they were a nurse and a doctor. Actually I didn’t put any effort into this at all. These are little kid costumes I happened to come across at the 99 Cent Store. They don’t actually fit them well because the costumes are for little kids, not…

Happy Halloween!
I love holidays! I think every holiday is so fun in it’s own way. So, I am obviously excited about Halloween. I made this “Pumpkin” Cake for my mom to take to her class (she’s a teacher). I didn’t have any other excuse to make it, but once I saw instructions for how to make a pumpkin cake I had…
