It was a gloomy weekend here in Richmond, and when the weather is like this, all I seem to want to do is curl up in bed and drink coffee. Of course, after an hour or so, I can’t sit still, and I’m like a child who needs to be taken out of the house….

Glory Foods Chili
Friday afternoon, Alex and I headed back to Ohio to spend the weekend visiting my friends and family back home. It was a busy weekend filled with lots of laughter and family time. I feel so blessed to come home to such wonderful people. We also got great weather, which meant we hit the driving…
Vegetarian Beer Dinner
I’m going to start off by saying, I’m not really much of a beer drinker. I love wine, I’ll enjoy the occasional cocktail, and I’ve started sipping cider, but I’m still not a beer lover. That said, this vegetarian beer dinner was the perfect opportunity for me to sample a variety of brews, and get…
Smoked Gouda Grilled Cheese
Monday night I was feeling a little under the weather, and I started worrying that I was going to get sick again. I’m generally a pretty high energy person, so the fact that I was feeling a little sluggish had me worried. I started popping Zicam, (and I’m happy to report it didn’t get worse)…
A Day of Eats in Austin
Ironically, as I was snapping a photo of my morning coffee, I was sitting in a SXSW interactive session called “Eating to Live Online: Virtual Food & Real Life” which was a panel session about, well, this. They started with the question “Does anyone really care what you’re eating?” And where it landed was, well,…
How to be a Vegetarian
Over the past few months, I’ve had a lot of people tell me they want to start eating more vegetarian meals. Maybe it’s resolutions for the new year, or maybe it’s just curiosity, but I realized I haven’t really blogged much about being a vegetarian. That’s actually intentional on my part, because I never want…
First Eats of the New Year
Happy New Year! I rang in 2013 with lots of my favorite people, so it doesn’t get better than that! I don’t know how I got so lucky to be surrounded by so many amazing friends, but I’m pretty thankful. I was hoping to start off the new year with the Tone It Up meal…
Christmas Eve: What I Am…
Doing Pretending I’m an elf, wrapping presents like mad. And practicing Christmas songs for church. Thankfully, reading sheet music is like riding a bike. It comes back surprisingly easily. Eating I’m obsessed with Gingerade Kombucha. And do you see that Chobani in my fridge? It’s proof that my parents read my blog, and take my…
Breakfast 101
I love breakfast. I think it’s the only thing that gets me out of bed. (Assuming coffee falls into the breakfast category.) I’ve never understood people who don’t eat breakfast. How do you find motivation to throw off the covers in the morning? And how in the world do you make it all the way…
What I Learned…
This is it! I’m in the final week of the Get Well Challenge! It’s been a great three months, and I’ve had so much fun with the challenges, and I’m thankful that Ellwood Thompson gave me the opportunity to participate! I lost a little weight, I lowered my body fat a bit, and I learned a…
