It’s 2017! I’m not really the resolution type, but this year I do have one: Be outside in nature as much as possible, whether I’m running, hiking, biking, or just reading a book. Of course, lately that’s been a challenge because it’s winter and I’m recovering from a little knee injury that I haven’t mentioned on […]
I have a new obsession: my new Bundt pan. Well, technically it’s an old Bundt pan of my mom’s, but it’s new to me. And I’m convinced there’s no easier way to make a pretty cake. No tricky layers to stack, and the rounded shape makes it simple to decorate with glaze rather than carefully […]
I am a firm believer in breakfast. I will sacrifice valuable make-myself-presentable time before work to saute veggies for a sunny side-up hash or stir up cinnamon roll oats to accompany my coffee. I may not always sit down to eat it, but I WILL EAT IT goshdarnit. Honestly, I don’t understand those people who […]
In case you were wondering… marathon training is going splendidly! But I’ve been cramming as much summer fun as possible in between those morning miles, track repeats and long Sunday runs, which has made it nearly impossible to find time for blogging. But I’m here right now, armed with an iPhone full of recent photos […]
Beets are pretty sweet. Their moisture makes them perfect for baking into rich chocolate brownies and breads, they’re amazing pickled and piled on a sandwich, and they make a heck of a salsa, too. But I’ve discovered my new beet obsession: pesto! It all started with this pizza recipe from The Roasted Root. I saw, […]
Ah, the magic of chickpeas. Is there anything these little legumes can’t do? They’re perfect all roasty-toasty, super easy to sprinkle on salads, and I use them in my fair share of cookies, but while editing a story at work about dessert hummus, I knew I had to get in on that trend, too. And […]
Raise your hand if you always forget how hot and horribly humid summer gets (*raises hand wayyy up*). The best reward after an almost-too-sweaty-to-handle run is a frosty ice pop, which is why I invested in some popsicle molds last summer.
BIG news! After nearly five years in Milwaukee, I’m moving east to Pennsylvania for a new job. I’ll be associate digital editor for a health magazine based there, and I am unbelievably excited for the new challenge, fitting subject matter and gorgeous hiking spots nearby. Plus, I’ll be just a bus ride away from NYC, wee!
Exciting news: I signed up for marathon no. 3! I’ll be back on my college stomping grounds to run the Columbus Marathon this October, and I can’t wait. Soon my weekends will revolve around high mileage training runs again, but for now I can be a bit lazy.
It’s true! Look at this little ring of lemon-blueberry perfection. This was my first time making homemade doughnuts, and I must say, I feel pretty pleased with myself. What inspired this new baking adventure? Well, it was my work wife Kaitlin’s birthday! And nothing goes better with Monday morning coffee than freshly glazed doughnuts.
