Bread and stuff to put on bread
Bread attempts I am not really the type of person to wish to change circumstances that cannot be or wish things away that simply cannot be wished away. It is futile and a great waste of energy. I change or work for change in things I have control over and celebrate the parts of life that simply are what they are →
Simple Foods
And so winter drags on here in Seattle. After spending a few beautiful and warm (well warm-ish) days in Winthrop, WA, I am back in Seattle where it is cold, rainy and windy. This weather makes me hungry. And that is saying something since I am so rarely hungry, which I know is quite bizarre for an ultraunner. After a →
Go West, Young Salad
I like Hummus on my salads. Alot. However, traditional hummus doesn't necessarily go with every kind of salad. I was in the mood for a Southwestern inspired salad so I made a "winter worthy" salad by adding sweet potato roast disks and a chili bean-corn spicy hummus. While the look of this particular hummus came out looking more like steak →
Peri Peri Roast Chicken w/ Kale Goat Cheese Pesto & Mushroom Ragu over Spaghetti Squash
After a long drive back from Atlanta and enduring everything from getting lost in Oklahoma to getting a speeding ticket in Colorado to being slowed by the snow all the way from Utah to Seattle, all I wanted to do when I got home was get in the kitchen! I recuperated for one day, but then hit the ground running →
Food Porn and the perpetual pursuit of the perfect brussel sprout

Ok, ok, I apologize. I'll post the one I made today because it was so damn delicious and I am always trying to cajole →

The foodie in me has been reinvigorated lately. Between amazing eating in Italy, new fun cookbooks, reading good books about food/eating and the deepening of fall into the space with crisp cool air and vibrant leaves on the trees, I find myself wanting to do nothing but cook and experiment in the kitchen and run (preferably in the early morning →
What really matters after a race…
The food of course! After running such a (mindboggling) distance as I did on Saturday, it is necessary to give the body proper fueling and rest so that you can recover quickly. I say (mindboggling) because there is a part of me that absolutely lacks the ability to comprehend the type of distance that I covered or the type of effort →
I run this city
Deep breathe, whew. It has been a whirlwind week. A week ago this time I was sitting at my desk trying to figure out whether or not I was going to be moving or not. My landlords hadn't found anyone yet and I was stuck in a nether realm, limbo, waiting at any moment to have to go into overdrive and →
