A New Vehicle for Enchilada Sauce
Quinoa Enchilada Bake I love enchilada sauce. Possibly much more than normal people. So when my friend sent me this recipe from Two Peas and Their Pod, naturally I had to try it. In order to make it kid-friendly, I eliminated the jalapeños and added the spice at serving with an array of hot sauces. […] Read More
Solo
All By Myself I had a very surreal experience last week. The Husband and The Assistant went back east to visit family and I was totally and completely on my own for seven whole days. Those without kids are reading this, shrugging and not understanding the significance. Those with kids are shouting Oh my god […] Read More
Happy 4th of July!
Independence Day Happy 4th of July! Out here, The Assistant and I will be celebrating by running the local 5k.

The Goal is in Germany
Halbmarathon: Nürnberg Well, it’s official: my five months of Team in Training preparation will lead me to a half marathon in Nürnberg on October 3, German Unity Day. It’s the day that they celebrate the reunification of East and West in 1990. (Was it really that long ago?) I’ve never been to Nürnberg, so I’ll […] Read More

And then suddenly you see the same recipe — usually something that makes you wonder who eats this stuff — in 14 different places at once? Two weeks ago, […] Read More
The Quest for a Good Sports Bra
On Sports Bras Gentlemen, this may be your cue to leave. Or not. Whatever suits your fancy. Back in the day, long long ago, Moving Comfort made a really great sports bra. It was called the Vero A/B and it was awesome. When I wore it, nothing moved. Nothing chafed. Nothing peeked out. Naturally, they […] Read More
What to Do With Your Zucchini Harvest
Kid-Friendly Zucchini Fritters I’m kind of surprised that I’ve never posted this one before, considering that I’ve made it half a dozen times. I came up with this recipe a few years ago when the school sent home a massive zucchini from the garden. What does someone do with a 3-foot zucchini? Fritters. Fritters are […] Read More
Bake Some Cookies
The Science Behind the Perfect Cookie I’ve long been meaning to create something like this, but behold! Others have already done it, and in a far more lovely format than I could achieve. Check out that explanation and then come on back. So how do you bake the best chocolate chip cookie ever? That depends […] Read More
The Weeks in Review
On the Move You may or may not have noticed that there was no recipe posted on Friday. You see, it’s because the only time I’ve sat down in the last week is a) on a plane, or b) in a car. There’s certainly been no time for cooking or access to a kitchen. Don’t […] Read More
