Chickpea and Tofu Stir Fry

Every so often I go through phases where I’m at a total loss for dinner ideas.  I feel like I make the same meals over and over, alllll the time.  Forget putting together any new recipes, that doesn’t happen.  Finding inspiration is a complete and utter struggle.  Please tell me you’ve also been there! I went [...]

Coconut Vanilla Bean Rice Pudding

Coconut Vanilla Bean Rice Pudding

As I made this pudding I was immediately transported back to my childhood.  Well, it wasn’t this rice pudding in particular did it (although I wish I grew up eating coconut vanilla bean rice pudding!).  Any type of rice pudding does it, really.  And, to throw a curve ball at you, I never actually ate rice pudding as [...]

Whole Wheat Linguine with Asparagus and Lemon

Before I dive into more asparagus today, I want to thank all of you for your well wishes and kind words.  You guys are the best!  I’m feeling a lot better, although the vertigo isn’t totally gone yet.  I just can’t seem to shake the tail end of this thing.  Some days are really frustrating and [...]

Sesame Roasted Asparagus

I’ve had some crazy things going on here for the past few days.  Last Thursday morning I woke up in a really foggy haze that can best be described as feeling drunk and hungover at the same time, in a really bad way.  I started to consider what I had to drink the night before, [...]

Avocado Egg Salad

I hope you all had a lovely Easter weekend, complete with an overdose of Peeps, jelly beans and chocolate eggs! Are you feeling slightly overloaded with beautifully colored eggs right now?  Yea, me too.

Healthier Lemon Artichoke Dip

After I got home from Panama (I’m working on a photo-filled recap for you…stay tuned!), there were two things I was really looking forward to – getting back in the kitchen and getting back to Central Park to start logging some solid mileage. That first part was a piece of cake, but the second part [...]

Indian Cast Iron Roast Chicken

As I get back into the swing of things from my fun trail running adventure across Panama, I’m pumped to have my good friend Vijay from NoshOn.It here today to share his (drool-worthy!) take on roast chicken.  I first connected with Vijay and started working with NoshOn.It last summer (such a blast!).  And, after months and [...]

My week in Panama continues!  Today I’m running my last trail race of the trip, then soaking up the sun and enjoying some well-deserved down time in Bocas Del Toro (think sun, sand and stunning blue water). I’m thrilled to have Stephanie from Girl Versus Dough guest posting for me today!  If you’re not familiar with Girl Versus Dough, finish [...]

Strawberry Avocado Smoothie

Have I ever told you about how much I love avocados?!  Love them like crazy!  Love, love, love, love!!  And strawberries, well, they make me feel the exact same way!  I’m absolutely smitten with these deep red berries.  Eating an entire basket in one sitting….piece of cake.  So, clearly it made sense to throw them together in the [...]
