Grilled cheese: a love story

Grilled cheese is proof that beauty doesn’t have to be complicated. All you need is some bread, butter, and cheese to win over even the most hardened of hearts. I have nothing but fond memories involving this sandwich like when a drunk Jackson tried unsuccessfully to make one in a friend’s toaster at a party. Or when our…

Another great thing about this glorious season: it’s the best running outfit weather. I’m talking long sleeves and shorts. Hands down the best running clothes combination there is.

Vegan spiced hot chocolate

I went for my first run in a whole month and a half yesterday! I haven’t taken this long of a break since I started my oh-so-promising running career way back in 2006.
