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 [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] Chicken Taco Salad with Creamy Cilantro Lime Dressing: Yum! It’s hard to develop a salad that is satisfying as a stand-alone dinner. However, it’s not impossible and I think I succeeded with this taco salad I made a few weeks ago. It was delicious that night and provided plenty of leftovers for lunches to come! Plus, [...] 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 [...] My First Attempt at Chicken Tortilla Soup: A Rousing Success A few weeks ago (probably about 3 or so by now), I noticed I had a lot of semi-related things in the fridge to make for my “Batch Cooking Sunday”. Not quite sure what to do, I decided that I was going to at least boil [...] Yet Another Use for Egg Beaters that Tastes Delicious! Before you jump on me about cholesterol and the myths behind eggs being a source of bad cholesterol…hear me out… I like egg beaters. I love the taste, love the way you don’t have to beat them, just shake, measure, pour, done! I also love omelets, but [...] It’s Official…Summer has Returned to Houston… This week I had plans to help host a Mexican Fiesta…well those plans fell through, so earlier this week I decided on a whim to sign up for yet another 5k. This time, it was supporting a local school that teaches children with Downs and other disabilities. The hardest part [...] Trying to Answer the Age Old Question…Does Strawberry Milk Come From Strawberry Cows??? Okay, so maybe that question will never be answered…but I did get a kick out of that cow! |
