Happy Lots of Things! Well, seems like we were just celebrating the Western New Year, and here we are, Chinese New Year! I never celebrated Chinese New Year. Perhaps it’s because I’m a Caucasian female “true blue” American (we can trace both sides of my [...] Bulgar Wheat Rolls: I must admit, I love bread…soft, warm, yeasty rolls fresh out of the oven. However, some just don’t seem to cut the mustard. Many are dry, brick-like, and *gasp* made fully with All Purpose Flour (APF for the non-foodies)! Well, I have fallen head [...] Week 19: Holiday Pains…and Gains This past week seemed to pass very quickly. We kept ourselves very busy with work and holiday activities, and also managed to get some running in too! One of the ways I tend to make my life easier during the week is taking the time to [...] Keeping Up Motivation Over the Holiday Season… Once again, hope everyone is enjoying their holiday weekend. Mark is back off to work today, and I’ll be back to work tomorrow, so…back to the grind…until Christmas! This past week actually proved to be easier to keep up our routine [...] Week 16: An Important Milestone Achieved I’ll just come out and say it…WE DID IT, we ran our first half marathon! Last Sunday, November 15th, we successfully completed the San Antonio Rock ‘N Roll Half Marathon (13.1 mi). It was an amazing milestone for both of us! Mark, as [...] Week 11: Getting into Double Digit Runs…and Learning to Slow Down This week was the roughest week yet for us! Saturday was our first double digit run, clocking in at 10 miles! I felt great during the run for the most part and completed it at a great [...] Back on the Rig…and a Tasty Frozen Yogurt Recipe Last week I described how my work took me offshore to a drilling rig in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico…and how I quickly discovered, they weren’t ready to start drilling and was sent home again. Well, I’m back on the rig, and guess what? They [...] The “B4 Burger”: You Won’t Believe it’s Nearly Meatless! Labor Day…the day that (most) Americans celebrate the Labor Party. Well, actually it is now more of a celebration of the end of summer…but not here in Houston, where temperatures are still commonly getting up into the mid-90’s (today included)! Mark had to work today, so that [...] Hatch Chile and Goat Cheese Enchilada Casserole: Okay, you may not have seen Hatch Chiles before. I certainly hadn’t before I moved down to Texas…Oh how I didn’t know what I was missing! Hatch Chiles come from Hatch, New Mexico and are in season typically in August. Our [...] Week 2: Building the Routine…and the Beginning of Fundraising Plus a Flavorful, Easy Vegan Meal for a Busy Weeknight (and a special surprise)! This week I was back to “business as usual” with the end of my training class last week. So I was back in the office and required to fit all of my exercise in [...] |
