Can you believe it’s Memorial Day weekend? I feel like we’re in a time warp. It is a real mental challenge to stay positive while time slips away in these long weeks of staying home. With the exception of yoga, my workouts were consistent. It’s one of the few things I feel like I can [Read More]
Gluten-Free Seedy Crackers
That’s right, I’ve gone crackers. Completely crackers. I’ve been gluten- and soy-free since the beginning of the year and I’d be lying if I told you I didn’t miss crusty loaves of bread, glorious deep-dish pizza and yes, crackers! A good cracker serves as a vehicle to shuttle other morsels of goodness to the pie [Read More]
Time to Track Those Walking Miles
This post contains an affiliate link. It’s been yet another crazy week. Will things ever settle down? Not for awhile I suspect. While we had some frosty mornings this week as well as lots of rain, by Friday, a warm humid front rolled in, and it was evident that winter is finally releasing its icy [Read More]
Roasted Salmon with Lemon-Garlic Butter and Superfood Slaw
I came clean to you before about how, until recently, I shied away from cooking fish at home. It seemed like any fish I could get at the grocery store here in the Midwest wasn’t the freshest. Since discovering Sitka Salmon Shares, that’s all changed. We’ve been enjoying salmon, fish tacos and more on the [Read More]

Hello May!
Well hello May! I’m so glad to see you. April was a short, but tough month, no thanks to our stay at home order. But now the birds are singing, the frogs are croaking, turtles are sunning and even the sun is shining…for now anyway. On the running front, April was a good month for [Read More]
May Coffee Date
How can it be May? Typically I call this month MAYhem, because every event known to man seems to happen in May. Graduations, concerts, recitals, weddings, races, end-of-school everything…all of it. Except this year there will be likely none of it. Sigh. I’m joining Deborah, Coco and you for the Ultimate Coffee date. I’m also linking [Read More]
Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cookies. I love them. I’d eat them constantly if I could. Since we started adhering to our stay-at-home order 6 weeks ago, I’ve done my share of baking. I’ve been gluten and soy-free since the beginning of the year but I don’t let that stop me. Can gluten-free cookies be as good as the regular [Read More]
Lean Into What You Love
This post contains affiliate links. This week the inevitable happened. Our shelter-in-place order was extended to May 30. While it comes as no surprise, the cold, hard reality of it feels daunting. As per usual, I leaned into my running, which has been a true godsend these past couple of months. Monday: Rest Tuesday: Run [Read More]
April Runfessions
Greetings again from isolation. While this is probably the closest many of us have come to the zombie apocalypse, the Runfessional must open. It’s a socially distant activity after all, not to mention essential. I’m also linking up with Meranda and Lacey for Friday Five. Let’s get started, shall we? I runfess that although I [Read More]
