I have been having a tough time coming up with something to eat between teaching and dinner. I get home at about 1:30 (I teach part time) and have been grazing all morning at school but that is not enough to tide me over until dinner. I saw this recipe and thought it would be [...]

Change All Over
It’s Wednesday! Today’s post is by Nichol. Last week, one of my miles was hiking Mormon Trail with a co-worker/friend. Right before we left for the hike, I was standing in the parking lot at 6:00, well maybe not standing so much as jumping and twirling (don’t ask). The front office manager made a comment [...]

“Legitimately Tasty”
The more I read about sugar and all of the nasty things it does to your body, the less I am OK with eating it. So my long-term goal is to cut foods with added sugar. I’ve already cut foods with artificial sweeteners (chewing gum was the most difficult!). When I don’t eat a lot [...]

Meatless Meals (I Wish) My Mother Made

The Big Man, The Kid and I were out of town last week visiting relatives and the beach. The Kid was a pretty good traveler, though he woke up at night more often than usual. Overall, it was nice to visit, and it was nice to come home. In packing for the excursion, I put [...]

Intervals
It’s Wednesday! Today’s post is by Nichol. I have discovered that I like running intervals. Currently I am doing them on the treadmill. I warm up at 3.5 for 5 minutes and then alternate 2 minutes at 4.0 and 1 minute at 5.5. Based on my reading, it’s not true interval running. It’s Nichol’s version [...]
