The healthy versions tonight. I’m trying to eat all my favorite foods before I jet off to Sydney, and these two are definitely near the top of the list. First up is homemade pizza! I loooove this recipe. I’ve made it several times perfectly, and tonight was no exception. Note that the dough takes a [...]

I added a new recipe page (for my beloved smoothies) and am trying to update one of my recipes but my silly blog software isn’t letting me do it right now! Until it does, I’ll share the new pics for my salmon salad with you here. Awesome! Anyway, things are getting a little crazy [...]
Breakfast for Lunch & A Race Announcement
Posted: June 24, 2010 in Food, RunsTags: almond butter, apples, banana, corn, green beans, pancakes, sandwich thin
I actually ate this meal for lunch today, but since my breakfast was pretty boring and I think this is more breakfast-like, I’ll share this one today. One of my favorite combos is apples and almond butter on toast, but today I also wanted to use up half a banana that was in my fridge. [...]
Back on the Bandwagon

While I just said on Monday that I wasn’t really feeling hot oats anymore, of course that’s what I wanted this morning. But who wouldn’t want this? I made classic stovetop oatmeal: 1/3 cup oats, 1/3 cup milk, and ~1/2-2/3 cup water. I added half a banana, sliced, and cooked over medium heat for about [...]
Leftover Magic

Thanks to the magic of leftovers, this lunch took me exactly four minutes to throw together. I toasted an Oroweat Sandwich Thin, added a schmear of hummus, and plopped on a slice of leftover tofu from yesterday along with a little bit of brown rice. We are completely out of vegetables, which explains the lack [...]
Pancake Tuesday

Is there a better way to start off a weekday than with pancakes? Yeah, didn’t think so. Most people think of pancakes as a weekend breakfast, but these are so easy to whip up you can have some any day of the week. I mashed half a banana in a bowl (I actually used a [...]
Tofu Toss

I bought a package of tofu last week at the store, and then I forgot about it until I looked in the fridge wondering what to make for lunch! I only started making tofu a couple months ago, but it’s really easy! I open the package, drain the water, and cut the tofu into slabs [...]
Perfect Summer Breakfast

This here is the perfect summer breakfast. Now, I love oatmeal just as much as the next girl. (Actually, that’s a lie. I love oatmeal way more than the next girl, unless I’m sitting next to my BFF Melissa. We compete for the title of top oatmeal lover.) But here in June in Texas, when [...]
First of all, I did finish my first half marathon in great shape and had a wonderful experience with Team in Training. But here’s a full report of my weekend, starting in chronological order! ———————————————————————– It all started early Friday morning with our group flight to San Francisco. Our chapter took up a good portion [...]
