The Lion’s Head Tavern

Despite a late night of un-packing and blogging, I was able to wake up in time for coffee and a pre-work run. It helped that this was the first sunny Monday since…hmmm…April?? I’m lovin’ the sun!! I ran for about 25 minutes and while I was a tight in the usual places, I wasn’t in [...]

Delta Grill and The Pony Bar

Some friends and I found ourselves at a place called Delta Grill a few nights ago. The restaurant featured New Orleans style decor, food, and drinks. I started off with a sweet cornbread muffin with butter and pint of Blue Point Toasted Lager. I really liked this beer! And Blue Point Brewery is a local [...]

Bridal Party Road Trip

I set my alarm pretty earlyyy for a Saturday (6:45am) and after I had my coffee, I set out for a run. Since I was visiting my family in Pennsylvania I didn’t have access to my gym. My leg was behaving fairly well, so I thought I’d try out a few miles. I’m happy to [...]

Homeward Bound

After a long bus ride (~4 hours), I finally arrived in my hometown in Pennsylvania ready for my weekend to begin. Despite feeling a little motion sick from the bumpy ride, I was very ready for dinner! My family picked me up at the bus station and we headed to a local pizza joint. We [...]

You are what you eat

Tina from Carrots ‘n Cake featured a photo of my fridge contents as part of her guest blogger series. Thanks Tina! I had planned on getting up at by 6:45am on Wednesday, but next think I knew, Nate’s alarm was going off and it was almost 8am. I grabbed a cup of joe from my [...]

Pickling, Preserving, Pies, & Pesto

The NY Times recently featured an article on canning and preserving food. Although many believe that home-canning died out in the 19th century, it’s actually a pretty great way to enjoy produce all year round. The article got me thinking about my own experiments with making jam and pickles. Cucumbers (look for the small, pickling variety) are [...]

Cookie Monster

Looks like you had a case of the Mondays….My week started off sleepy and with a big mug o’ coffee. Cherries – got ‘em on sale again. Breakfast was a Kashi GoLean Chewy bar. 6 grams of fiber and 13 grams of protein and it tastes like a candy bar. I don’t think I would have this [...]

French Meadow Hemp Tortillas

One day last week I arrived home to a note – my neighbor was holding a package for me. Upon knocking on the door, my neighbor  frantically pushed a large box into my arms and told me to refrigerate the contents ASAP. The outside of the box featured a little penguin icon as well as the words “perishable” [...]
