Oatmeal After Spinning

Sometimes even when you have the best of intentions… things just don’t get done.

When I saw Heather announce that the MMAZ ingredient for the letter “H” was going to be hearts of palm, I knew exactly which recipe I wanted to share. I had every single intention of whipping up a batch of these beauties:

Yet, these…

If you have a really good memory, you may remember me posting about a little game called DietBet back in January of this year. I had gotten the opportunity to try out the campaign as part of my ambassadorship through Fitfluential and thought it would be really good motivation to lose a few lbs. Unfortunately, through all of the chaos and stress during that time…

It’s only fitting that my 50th consecutive What I ate Wednesday post chronicles the best meal I’ve eaten in recent memory.

Or… ever.

Last month, while Greg and I were in Oregon I happened to be reading through my Twitter feed (something I rarely do) in our hotel room after a long day of traveling, hiking and beer drinking. I noticed…

Even though it’s been in the 90s for several days at a time this summer, it still makes me laugh when people complain about the heat here in Colorado. Sure- that temperature may be high, but the humidity is still relatively low. 95˚ in Denver certainly feels a lot cooler than the same temperature in Maryland! I’m not saying that it hasn’t felt hot here-…

I’ve gotta say- every day living that I’m living here is a good day. I still constantly have those “pinch me” moments where I can’t believe that it’s real, like earlier this week while hiking at Chautauqua. I’m just … so at peace here.

As you can see, I live on the edge.

Today is a very special…

Forgive the title of this post- WordPress has a habit of not letting the whole thing show.. It should say: NuttZo: The “Powerhouse” of Nut Butters.

Of all of the things in my kitchen that I love to eat, nut (and/or seed) butter ranks right at the top of the list. Peanut, almond, sunflower, hazelnut, cashew… I’m not picky. It’s one of those…

Hello! I hope you are enjoying this WONDERFUL last weekend of July. Mine’s been filled with great friends, hiking and sunshine- I certainly can’t complain! Just wanted to give you two quick reminders:

*the blog may be undergoing a little makeover- expect to see some changes over the next few days. 🙂

Howdy! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I’ve got a question for you: what the heck happened to July?! I can’t believe that August starts this week… that just blows my mind! Time flies when you’re having fun I guess. 🙂

I’m going to start off by sounding like a HUGE brat here. It’s been cloudy and gray for the last two days here- and that is something that just doesn’t happen in Colorado! It even rained on Sunday morning, which is also weird. It often rains briefly in the afternoon/evening but never in the morning. Our wonderful state has over 300 days of sunshine each…

Can you believe it’s already almost mid-July?? This summer is just flying by! I still don’t know where June went!

Instead of sulking about how quickly time passes and the fact that summer will be over before you know it, let’s have some fun today shall we? As per usual, I’ve been making a mental list of some of my favorite things over…
