S’Mores Cupcakes

February 25, 2010

I’ve been on a bit of a S’mores kick lately. Which is kind of funny, because I don’t particularly care for S’mores! But lately, whether it be my favorite Glo bar, a S’mores pancake gone horribly wrong (delicious, but note remotely photogenic), or these little cupcakes, I’ve had a lot of graham cracker-marshmallow-chocolate flavor combos [...]

Microwave Quinoa and a Giveaway

February 23, 2010

As I mentioned yesterday, I had a drop-in appointment with a sports therapist at University Health Services last night. I was so nervous that I was almost shaking going into the appointment, because I was afraid they would say, right off the bat, “you can’t run your half marathon.” However, the verdict was much better [...]

Hopefully I will come out of it with good news! (Thank you, University Health Services, for offering free drop-in sports [...]

Workout Frustrations

February 20, 2010

I can’t believe my first half marathon is exactly two weeks from tomorrow. Eek! I’m getting so excited! Unfortunately, I am also getting frustrated. Two and a half weeks ago, I took 3 much-needed rest days because of a twinging left IT band. After a few days off, I was ready for a long run, [...]

A Weekend in Ithaca

February 18, 2010

Spending the weekend with Dan was fantastic. I’m so glad we didn’t have to go the full 2 1/2 months without seeing each other, as originally planned. I flew in early evening Friday, and left Sunday night. The only downside? My bag didn’t make it to Ithaca until the very end of the trip. Due [...]

Gardein BBQ Pulled Shreds

February 14, 2010

Note: I wrote this post at the airport on Friday morning, but was unable to post it until now since Delta lost my gate-checked bag…which had my computer charger in it (Check back later this week for that story). The people at Gardein were kind enough to send me coupons last week for a few [...]
