Product Review: Francesco Rinaldi To Be Healthy Pasta Sauce

GIVEAWAY at the end of this post! Whoo hoo. Have I talked about Mitch’s homemade pasta sauce? Probably. I renamed it “Italian chili” because we never eat pasta around these parts (which is not my preference but his, FYI) so calling it spaghetti sauce seemed just wrong. But anyway. It’s really good and packed with [...]

Organizing and Potlucking

This week, I worked on getting organized. I use Google Calendar to plan out my workouts and my dinners for the week. I know that sometimes, things will have to shift, but planning out my schedule makes me feel a lot better when I have a lot on my to-do list. On my Google calendar, [...]

American’s Finest City Half Marathon Race Recap

I have waited a LONG time to do my half-marathon race report, and here we are! It’s so funny how you work so hard on something and it occupies so much of your brain space for so long, and then it’s over in a flash (well, a two-hour-and-forty-minute flash). I have a feeling that’s what [...]

Half Marathon Training: Week 15 Recap

Chip Taste-Testing and a Raisin Recipe

Half Marathon Training: Week 14 Recap

So…I may or may not be watching the newest Real Housewives of New Jersey while writing this post. Don’t judge me. The other day, Mitch commented that I haven’t been updating my blog too much lately…and he doesn’t even read it, haha! I think he was showing it to a coworker or something. But of [...]
