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 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 [...] 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 [...] 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! [...] 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, [...] |
