Tasty Thursday – Crunchy Coffee Cocoa Shake

June 26, 2014 Hello Thursday! Half way through the year and I am pretty proud of myself for sticking with my goal of trying a new recipe a month. In April, I shared Runner’s World take on Hummingbird Muffins, and a few weeks ago I shared the Sliced Apple with Goat Cheese and Balsamic Vinaigrette appetizer from the same book.  I looked at my What I’m Cooking Next #2 list and thought it was a nice time to try the Crunchy Coffee Cocoa Shake…

Tasty Thursday – Hummingbird Muffins

Ingredients - Recipe HERE For the Muffins 1 cup turbinado or white sugar (I used Truvia) 1/3 cup honey 2 large eggs (I used…

April 17, 2014 Happy Thursday! Today I am sharing a soup AND a smoothie recipe from the The Runner’s World Cookbook, “150 Ultimate Recipes for Fueling Up and Slimming Down - While Enjoying Every Bite.”  These are the last two recipes from my initial list of five when I challenged myself to cook my way through the cookbook.

Tasty Thursday: Chicken Quinoa Soup

March 27, 2014 One of my 2014 goals is to cook a new recipe at least once a month. I think I have done a pretty good job so far - I’ve cooked and shared 5 recipes through today!  I’ve made some progress cooking my way through The Runner’s World Cookbook, “150 Ultimate Recipes for Fueling Up and Slimming Down - While Enjoying Every Bite.”  I’ve blogged about my adventures in making Butternut Squash Hummus and Maple-Glazed Brussels Sprouts, and today…

Brrrrrr…Is for Brussels Sprouts!

January 29, 2014 Brrrrr another day below freezing!!

Last week I shared the RW’s Butternut Squash Hummus recipe.  Today I will share…

I’m Back + and Butternut Squash Hummus!

Training for the Miami Half Marathon, I am ready for some fun and sun after this…

Friday Five – What I’m Cooking Next

January 3, 2014 One of my goals for 2014 is to cook a new recipe at least once a month.  I thought it would be a great way to introduce new (and healthy!) foods to my diet, diversify my weekly meals (although healthy, they tend to be same week to week and a bit boring), better my cooking skills, and share the finished product with friends and family (do I hear dinner parties??) After reading some online reviews, I ordered…
