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 [...] 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 [...] Perfect Pumpkin Pancakes: I’ve been promising friends for quite some time to post my “perfect pancake” recipe that I’ve been using week in and week out for the past 6 months and the day has finally arrived (with added seasonal flare)! Bill, this is for you, my [...] Quick and Tasty Soup for a Light Lunch! On Thursday, I left work just before lunch in order to get a lot of housework done and get a nap (i.e. attempt to catch up on sleep) after my week on the rig. I had already eaten a piece of the decadent Vegan Mocha Cake I made [...] The “B4 Burger”: You Won’t Believe it’s Nearly Meatless! Labor Day…the day that (most) Americans celebrate the Labor Party.

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 [...] After a Week of Frustration and Stress, a Quite Relaxing Sunday Morning! There are a few things that I couldn’t wait for when I moved into my new house. One was being able to sit on the porch on a relaxing Sunday morning with a coffee, breakfast, and NPR. Today, I made that dream come true! [...] Fun in the Mud and an Awesome Summer Salad! Today was the most satisfying run I’ve completed to date…the Mud Maxx 5k! This was the first year of the race, benefiting the Shriners Hospital, but the organizers did a good job getting most everything straightened out and the run went rather smoothly. The object of the [...] Turkey Burgers on Homemade Whole Wheat Buns, Served with Zucchini “Fries” Or, Why I’m Reluctant to go Back to Store-bought Buns… American Twists to a Classic Mexican Dish… I was first introduced to calabacita con pollo at our favorite tex-mex restaurant, Sylvia’s Enchilada Kitchen (see capirotada and fajitas posts). It’s a wonderful and light dish, reminding me of a good light summer meal (much like my vegetarian penne). We had a lot of Mexican-style ingredients sitting around [...] |
