Favorite Eats and Flavor of Fall Muffins

The race date is April 18th and it seems so far away right now but I won’t take my races lightly. I’m a bundle of nerves running a 5K so you can imagine the anxiety suffered when looking at 26.2 miles ahead of me. I train a little extra than what is expected. It’s beyond my comprehension how some people can run, for example a 15K race when they have only trained for 5 miles. [...]

Chocolate with Francois Honey Madeleines

A couple of things before we talk about another Payard recipe. First, did you enter the GIVEAWAY for the 5 Day Intensive Yoga Course? If not, here is the link. Second, running ramblings: It dawned on me the other day why Shane had so much energy doing a 9 mile run then a 7 mile run. Not only is the weather cooler, but he has been on a taper! For the entire month of October, while Ted and I have been on and off planes to Kansas and Florida, Shane has been kicking back with walking, some frisbee playing but [...]

CEimB: Blueberry Orange French Toast Bake

Since my day began with a 6 1/2 mile treadmill run followed by a very wet walk with Shane for 2 1/2 miles, I felt fully justified in indulging in this delicious recipe. Good carbs to fuel my race on Sunday. The recipe title for this week’s CEimB is actually “Blueberry-Almond French Toast Bake” but you know I can’t leave well enough alone so I changed it. First things first: Heide of Chez Zero, thank you for a wonderful recipe choice. Really, really good. This is the Apple Crumbles version of Ellie’s recipe. The oranges? Since I had to zest [...]
