I love the weekends. There is no rush. I have time to really enjoy breakfast. I never burn my tongue on piping hot banana pieces like I do almost everyday during the week.1/3 cup old fashioned rolled oats cooked in 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk, 1 cup water, cinnamon, cloves, 1/2 banana, 1/2 TBS chia [...]
Hot Chia-Banana Oatmeal: 1/4 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup instant oats, 1/2 TBS chia seeds, cinnamon, 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk, 1/2 cup water,1/2 banana, blackberries and 1 heaping TBS crunchy natural peanut butter. I’m all smiles. The fall weather is finally here. After my run today all that I wanted was a gigantic bowl [...]
Sunday. A day to relax and unwind before another crazy week. A day to do all of the things you love with the ones you love. 1 jumbo egg, 2 extra large egg whites (what we had on hand). Zucchini, Mushrooms, Cherry Tomato. Italian Herb Blend. Pizza Cheese (Mozzarella and Provolone Blend). I love running. [...]
11-miles and I am dead. I can’t remember the last time I ran that distance. It felt great but I am already feeling it in my legs. Tomorrow will not be fun.I woke up early to eat a piece of 8-grain 3-seed toast with cinnamon, peanut butter and 1/2 of a banana and HYDRATE. This [...]
I know it’s only Thursday, but I am already excited for Sunday. While I was at work yesterday I received a special e-mail from my dad: “Hot Feet run in the morning, then cold brews in the afternoon.” YES PLEASE! I was having a crazy day so his message was really appreciated. I spent much [...]
I heard a knock on my door this morning, “Nora….want to run to the high-school with me?” It was my dad. Without hesitation I screamed YES and was ready in five minutes. I was planning on going for a quick run down the street before heading back to my apartment but to me, there is [...]
Tonight’s dinner forecast called for pasta with overcast vegetables and periods of goat cheese. I think I would make a great weather girl…just kiiidddiinnnnggg. The weather often impacts the food I crave….probably more than it should. The light wind and mild temperatures today reminded me of the fall, and what says fall like a hearty [...]
Happy Memorial Day!! I hope everyone is taking advantage of this beautiful weather and enjoying the company of family and friends! I also hope that everyone takes a moment to pause and remember the meaning of this holiday. I want to send a big THANK YOU to our troops and all of those who have [...]
It has been quite a hectic day FILLED with food. I didn’t end up finishing my paper last night and went to sleep around 3am! This meant I had to wake up and finish it this morning. I HATE procrastinating. I usually keep a calendar and schedule when I know I have projects due so [...]
Could it be nicer outside? It is currently a sunny 74 degrees and I am on top of the world! I was able to go for my favorite river-side run (~4 miles) a few hours after my pancake digested (so filling but delicious!). I went a bit slower today just so I could soak up [...]
