The Pain & Squash Goat Cheese Pie in a Pumpkin Sunflower Crust with Pomegranate Sauce

It’s December already. It had been decided weeks ago that I wouldn’t tally my running miles for the year until December 1st. At that point, I would decide if I wanted to achieve any nice round number of miles. As of November 30th, my total running miles only (no walking miles in there) is 1702. Next, I made an easy calculation: 10 miles per day for the next 30 days would give me a nice round number of 2000. Ted laughed “she’s having a lapse of insanity”. Still…my mind kept calculating… I could run 15 miles each Saturday with 5 [...]

CEimB Spaghetti Frittata

Can’t say I was looking forward to this dish. I just couldn’t wrap myself around the idea of adding spaghetti with my much loved frittata. Maybe that kind of thinking sabotaged the recipe right from the start. I thought about subbing rice for the pasta but I didn’t. It was “go right by the book” (well, almost) this week. So I stayed true to Ellie and made the dish as written with one exception: I used diced tomatoes with green chilies in place of the marinara sauce because I didn’t have any marinara sauce.

Adjustments Required

I had my entire Saturday planned out: Walk with Shane, breakfast, get fitted and pick up our bikes, Vitamin Store, health food store, groceries, do some cake decorating, relax. Nutritional plans were to eat every 2 hours (small quantities, lots of carbs) and have a water bottle with me at all times. We left at 11 am for a fitting and didn’t get home until 1:45 pm. No vitamins, no health food, no groceries, no cake decorating, no relaxing, NO WATER, NO EATS. I was STARVING! When we finally got home, both of us were famished. I cooked up a [...]
