This past Sunday I was making the one hour drive from my parents’ house to my house, sunroof down, sporting my sunglasses, relishing the mild weather, and decided that I would go running when I arrived back in Ann Arbor. I also decided, during my drive, that I would start the Couch to 5K program … Continue reading
This weekend I ran my very first race – EVER! This race was the culmination of the past 10 weeks of running I have been doing. Back at the end of March, I began the Couch to 5K Running Plan. The Week 1 regimen was to do this: “Brisk five-minute warm-up walk. Then alternate 60 … Continue reading
I haven’t been the best food blogger the last few days! I spent the first part of this week in Baltimore at a meeting. I took my camera but did not take any pictures! Luckily the internet is a lovely source for such things. While in Baltimore, I stayed at the Hyatt near the Inner … Continue reading
Satchel’s BBQ This week I tried a relatively new barbeque joint in Ann Arbor called Satchel’s BBQ, located in a somewhat hidden location on Washtenaw Ave. I appreciated the simple menu – I always respect a few dishes done well over a large selection of so-so dishes. I ordered the Pulled Pork plate, which, for … Continue reading
Couple new recipes and some running updates for you today. Chili Tortilla Bake Recipe from Taste of Home First up, is this casserole that I assembled Sunday evening, refrigerated, and popped in the oven Monday night after work. Monday was an insane day too, so I was incredibly happy I had done so. First I … Continue reading

I … Continue reading

(The front ones are mine, and the back ones are the huz’s, just to clarify!). In my line-up, Grizzly Peak’s beers, brewed on-site: … Continue reading
Today I feel like I keep starting things without finishing them. I’m the kind of person who really just can’t sit still and always has to be doing something or else I get stir crazy. But… if I do the same thing for too long I get bored and want to move on to something … Continue reading
Tonight I changed up my schedule a bit and went for my run run/walk right before dinner. Today was Week 1: Workout 2 in the Couch to 5K program. Same deal as yesterday. It went well but my phewwww my leggies are stiff. Post-run, I recreated this meal below, Taco-Stuffed Pepper Cups. They are sooo … Continue reading
Crab cakes! Truly one of my favorite things. I should probably make a post summarizing all the crab cakes I’ve enjoyed. For now you can just search “crab cakes” in the search box on the right hand side, if you’re realllllly interested in checking out my plethora of crab cakes. For as much as I … Continue reading
