I used to not share recipes because they weren’t “from scratch.” I would have never shared a recipe like this that had a pre-made crust and pre-made sauce. I thought in order to share a recipe it would have to be something that rivaled what Martha Stewart would come up with. I have changed that…
M+M Butter Cookie Bars + Exciting News!
After last week’s Butter vs Margarine post (with lots of pros and cons on both butter and margarine), you probably know that I’m cool with having butter in moderation. Which is good, because these bars taste buttery and delicious. After having Becky’s s’mores cookie dough bars a few weeks ago, I could not get them…
A Hair Cut Will Change Your Life + Half Marathon Week 4 + Raffle Winner
Okay, the beginning of the title is exaggerated. (Also the entire thing is a little ridiculous, right? Way too long, but you have to admit, it is informative.) But I did get a hair cut! It hasn’t been this short in…years? The new, sweet gal I went to estimated she chopped 7 inches off! Fun…

Butter Vs Margarine–What Do YOU Think?
I made some M+M blondies last night FULL of butter. I will admit it nearly stopped my heart putting in a stick and a half of the stuff, but they are an amazing treat (I will share the recipe soon!) I also use margarine for spreading on toast on occasion. As is the usual tone…
Moves 8-26-13: Change it Up! + Post-Run Smoothie
Whew it has been hot over here! I think summer has finally arrived in the twin cities! I’ve been so used to running whenever I feel like it during the day, that it was shocking when I went out and felt like I was going to die of heat stroke last Tuesday. That day kind…

WIAW #74: Intuitive Eating- Stop Battling with “Bad” Foods
Last week was Dave’s birthday so, as he requested, we headed to Chili’s with a friend! I even got to wear my new “t-shirt dress” (my word…it’s comfy like a t-shirt) that I got on sale at Target. Seriously, go check out the end of the season sales going on at my favorite store. I…
Justin’s Nut Butter Raffle + Half Marathon Training Update
A couple of weeks ago I did a whole long, heart-felt post enlisting help to support Girls on the Run, a wonderful organization who’s mission is: “to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running.” Well, I got a few thumbs-ups, but no gravy. Since…
A Visit to The Chive (a dose of snark in poem form)
I’ve been thinking about a way to write about this all week, and this is what I came up with. I’m sorry if you like the Chive, I too was a fan…until I actually went to the site. This girl will no longer “chive on.” A Visit to the Chive Adapted (sort of) from…
