This week in recipes + an update on “no added sugar”

Uncategorized

Since we started the week with no groceries, I didn’t exactly set myself up for success! I had no options to add to my coffee except my pumpkin spice almond creamer, and I was so damn tired after flying home from Atlanta Monday morning, going straight to work, then going...

“No Added Sugar” Week 1

Uncategorized

Spoiler alert: I FAILED! We were traveling to Atlanta this weekend and I’d already used my “cheat” earlier in the week, so I knew it was going to be hard. At first, it was just a few small cheats – things I justified as not wanting to be wasteful (i.e....

Chilled Silken Tofu with Garlic Ginger Green Beans

Cooking Time: 30

Uncategorized

I have a new food crush, and an unlikely one at that: silken tofu (also known as “soft” or “Japanese-style” tofu). In the past, my only experience cooking with it was in sauces or vegan desserts – usually to make something creamy without the use of dairy. Recently, I found myself eating...

Spain: Paella

Cooking Time: 2 hours

Europe

Spain

If I were on death row and given the opportunity to request one last meal, it would be paella. My dad’s paella, to be precise. So you can imagine the pressure to try to recreate it just so. In fact, the pressure was such that I waited until he was...

Remember when I blamed not writing much on triathlon training? Yeah, well that was a bunch of shit. I’m just not writing much. So what have we been up to post Ironman 70.3? Well, we’ve gotten back into our normal workout routine which is refreshing. I actually always feel like...
