I don’t mess around when it comes to ice cream sandwiches. Especially if they are giant and of the chocolate variety. Have you ever had the uncontrollable urge to spend your evening baking cookies? I had one of those moments a few weeks back. My parents were in the process of moving out of their house, which meant…
It’s cobb salad! Without the vegetarian-unfriendly ingredients, that is. But it’s still got plenty of good stuff! Back in the day I worked in an upscale fitness center cafe. I’m talking $7 protein shakes upscale. On the menu, we had a Cobb salad complete with tomatoes, avocado, egg, chicken, bacon, blue cheese, and cheddar cheese. Everyone hated making…
You’ll be seeing a lot of popcorn recipes on here, considering popcorn is one of the greatest foods. This caramel cinnamon popcorn mix is perfect for when you want to snack WHILE being incredibly happy. I have also tested this recipe out on runners, and they all approve. One of my favorite things about popcorn is that it…
It’s so hot out. And I know I sound like a broken record every time I walk upstairs, but when I can feel the temperature increase with every step, it seems like the thing that must be commented on. Our landlord graciously fixed our air conditioning, but unfortunately it doesn’t reach the upstairs very well. I look back…
Who knew that something that came out of the dirt could taste so good? I’m talking about sweet potatoes! More specifically, a spectacular mix of the best food around that I like to call honey mustard sweet potato hash. There’s no actual honey mustard in this dish in the traditional sense anyway. There’s dijon mustard and honey,…
Is there ever a more appropriate time to eat pasta than the night before a race? This sort of ritual takes me back to my high school cross-country days, but pasta the night before a race isn’t just a thing for high-school runners, the Boston Athletic Association serves up a giant pasta dinner the night before the Boston…
Did you know that a standard club sandwich is a double decker sandwich?! I always forget that fact until after I order a club sandwich and then I am so happily surprised when it arrives! Forgetting this well-known fact about club sandwiches is one of my favorite things about myself. It just never fails to bring me so…
Garlic and I have had a pretty complicated relationship in the past, but I think we’ve finally reached a healthy place. Garlic is awesome, and it knows it too. It brings dishes to life and it’s rightly used in some form or another in about 85% of the world’s savory dishes that come to mind. People notice garlic’s…
I often feel like I should be rewarded for eating a salad, but the only thing I seem to get is hungry about an hour after eating one. I want eating a salad to feel like its own reward. On days where I both run and eat a salad, I want it to feel like a maintainable lifestyle,…
We’ve come a long way as a species. We used to run to hunt down our food. Now we run with things on our wrist that tell us exactly how far we are going, how fast our heart is beating, and how many steps we’ve taken so far. I’m sure the cavemen also thought such things, but I…
