Creamy Sweet Potato & Roasted Red Pepper Spread
Hummus is one of those foods that I could (and usually do) eat every single day without boredom or the craving for something else. Every so often, though, I like to experiment with a different type of dip or spread, and I think this creamy sweet potato roasted red pepper spread is destined to be…

Last Week’s Workouts – Recovery Mode
Last week’s workouts were less about workouts and more about recovery mode from the Vermont 50k. Prior to race day, I had planned on taking one whole week off from exercise anyway. But then, the bee stings at around mile 18 happened and that became more of a total rest type of recovery than what […]

I’ve never been a bug lover, but this fascinating insect is just too beautiful to go unloved. Who said nature isn’t the smartest artist there’ll ever be?

Caught On Camera: Rare Footage of Grizzly Bears Fighting On Northern Canadian Highway
We all have our little spats that usually start as something small and barely discernable but end up as a full-blown fight that you end up regretting being a part of.

Colorado City Used $7.3 Million From Marijuana Tax Revenue to Provide for the Homeless

Farro Breakfast Salad with Sweet Potatoes & Apples
This breakfast grain salad combines a few of my favorite things: sweet and salty flavor combinations, savory (or savory-ish) breakfasts, whole grains, sweet potatoes, and creamy dressings. It’s such a no brainer that I’m surprised it took this long to pop into my head 🙂 I have to admit that, as I was putting this…

Vermont 50k – 2019
“I should have had a beer.” It was around mile 18 (I think?) when I came upon an “unofficial” aid station of the Vermont 50k that was blasting music, handing out beers, fruit and pickle juice. I seriously considered the beer but opted for the pickle juice instead and carried on down the trail. Within […]

Thinking about private health cover? Here are 4 things to help guide your decision.

Weekend Reading, 9.29.19
It’s been about two weeks since I took the RD exam. I’ve been easing back into things very gradually, giving myself time to appreciate the closing of one chapter and the start of another. This was the first weekend in a very, very long time in which I not only didn’t work, but didn’t feel…

129 Ways to Get a Husband in the 50s
Although the 1950s left its mark on today’s culture, much has changed since then. The time period gave us icons like Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, and Audrey Hepburn who we recognize today, but it was also a time of opposing communism and the Cold War.
