    Who cares if the dinner was ‘sponsored’?!? Here’s a girl who is sharing her life with us, making us laugh and just being real. So she has a few peeps paying for a few things…wouldn’t you want that too? Why the hate? I say “Go Mon!”

    sheesh! I will never understand the internet wackos/haters. Blogs happen to be a perfect way for companies to get exposure for their products. Enjoy your “perks”. Blogs are work. I value your reviews and recaps and while I won’t switch to Brooks kicks because I happen to be an ASICS girl, I was intrigued by the infinity shorts you’ve reviewed/worn. I was part of Dicks Sporting Goods “every runner has a reason” video campaign. I knew when I signed up it was part of a social media marketing campaign, but it was one of the best experiences of my life. No regrets.

    Hmm, I will try this. I once tried a ‘cake in a mug’ recipe, it was with cocoa powder, an egg, baking soda….and something else… GAG!!!

    This sounds like it would come out tasting better.

      Yeah, I’ve been disappointed with a lot of cake in a mug recipes. I think the agave and chocolate syrup keep this from drying out too much in the micro.

    The thing with these insta-brownie microwave things that sorta gets to me is that they require so much work for 1 serving. I mean measuring out 1 tsp of this and 1 tsp of that for 1 portion totally isn’t worth the effort IMO. I tend to eat fruit and whatnot as snacks on the day to day and when I feel like splurging on something really decadent like chocolate brownies and what not I’ll just head over to the local bakery and buy one.

    I wanted to comment on your previous post about upcoming races but apparently the comments are closed, whatever that means. Anywho I was going to say I’m in for NY this year too so if you and SR are there I’d surely meet up for pre or post race grub. My fall is Rochester half Sept 22 (Im moving to NY), Wineglass marathon Oct 6, Nike Women Oct 20, and NY Nov 3! So I am with you in training for ALL those races!

    I have a granola bar.

    I’m constantly torn with these whole “healthified” recipes. Part of me thinks it’s a great option, but my highly-trained sweet tooth knows they’re not the real deal and would rather just wait for a real treat (well, my brain says wait, the tooth would prefer not to).

      I always think the real thing is more satisfying, but I am dangerous with a whole cake or batch of cookies.

      Anyway, I would like to catch up and pick your brain a bit. I’ll email you…

          I’ll take 4 off your hands. That’s my recommended serving size for homemade cookies. But if I make them it ends up being 14.

      Most health foods stores or places like GNC have a ton of options. “Regular” stores have them too, but there aren’t as many choices.

            it’s probably a smart idea to NOT try cashew butter if you haven’t already 😉 i bought a small individual packet of the artisana brand at WF and fell in love…then saw the price tag for the regular sized jar ($16 )and cried!

    Is your fancy dinner sponsored?

      2013-07-17 at 6:34 pm

      Probably because we know that Monica never buys anything out of her own money. She has sponsors galore giving her stuff. Come on Monica, it is true. You don’t even pay for your own race registration fees. Or do you?

        Yes, it was a sponsored dinner. Sometimes I pay for race registrations, it really depends. I don’t deny that I get dinners and registrations though.

        I’m not trying to be rude, but I would like to understand why it bugs you?
