Healthy Fall Recipe: Zucchini Chocolate Banana Bread Oatmeal

Zucchini Chocolate Banana Bread Oatmeal

I already told you about my glorious Saturday of trail running and hitting the pool (seriously, it was 83 degrees – why not?!). However, despite the amazingly warm weather, I then switched over to fall mode for the rest of the weekend, and spent Saturday night at a low-key pumpkin beer fest held at Hops and Pie. I sampled over 20 pumpkin beers, in between slices of some awesome sausage-and-pineapple pizza (seriously, their pizza has ranked on TripAdvisor’s list of 50 pizza places worth traveling for). So basically, the perfect way to eat back everything I had burned that morning. …

Healthy Recipe: Pumpkin Cheesecake Smoothie

Healthy Pumpkin Cheesecake Smoothie

This morning I woke up feeling hot. Sadly, it wasn’t hot like “damn I look good,” but more of “damn it, Colorado, I turned the heat on because it snowed Thursday night but now it’s going to be 70 today so I should have had the A/C on to sleep.” The weather here is so flaky! (But I still love it.) I decided I wanted a smoothie for breakfast, so first I checked through my arsenal of random samples to see what protein powders I had and could use up… but I ended up mixing, tasting, and discarding all three. …

Healthy Carb-Loading Meal: Nicoise-Inspired Salad

cooking / Leave a Comment

Tomorrow, I’m going to be hiking my very first 14er (mountain with a summit that is 14,000 feet or higher). But when my friend Mike and I went hiking yesterday on a much smaller peak for about 90 minutes, I was completely wiped out. Hiking can be pretty intense! When Mike mentioned that it would probably be about a four hour hike to the top on Saturday, I realized it would probably be just about as strenuous as a full marathon. Time to carb load! Carb loading is something that a lot of runners don’t do properly – and admittedly, me loading up …

My New Favorite Kitchen Tool: The Vegetti

cooking / 3 Comments
Vegetti

My friend Becki did a great recipe post this week, and talked about using a Vegetti to spiralize her veggies into pasta. I had heard of a spiralizer before, but it seemed expensive/difficult/complicated. However, when Becki made it look so easy, and pointed out that the Vegetti is cheaper than a regular spiralizer, I popped over to Amazon and bought myself one… for just $13. Hooray for Amazon Prime, because today at lunchtime, it was on my doorstep! As you may have noticed, I’ve totally fallen through on my promise to get some race reports up this week. Work has just …

Healthy Meal: Pineapple Fried “Rice” (Quinoa)

Healthy Pineapple Fried Rice

One of my favorite things about moving to Denver is my new commute from Dallas. When I used to fly to New York City on Thursday nights, I would have a 3.5 hour flight that would usually land around 11pm or midnight… meaning I would probably start falling asleep for the last hour of the flight, and then I’d get home and immediately crawl into bed. But now that I’m living in Denver, it’s a much shorter flight, and I’m headed west across a time zone, so I’m getting some extra time back. Tonight I got home at 8pm, and …
