Running through life while balancing healthy eating and single motherhood
I hope you had a nice weekend and a Happy Mother’s Day! I’m very happy to say that we went to Maureen’s Kitchen bright and early yesterday morning for our 12th annual Mother’s Day Breakfast. It was so nice to have my favorite baked oatmeal once again! After trying to take out breakfast last year […]
Oh, hi. I didn’t mean to miss a few posts but the days got away from me and suddenly it’s the Friday ahead of Mother’s Day weekend. I saw the above heart pattern while walking the other morning which I assume formed naturally from the fallen petals during the rain overnight, and just couldn’t believe […]
It’s that time of year again! Mother’s Day breakfast tradition time! If you have been reading for a while, you know that my son and I have a very special Mother’s Day breakfast tradition. It’s a really big deal for us. Well, a really big deal for me. I’m not sure that my son cares […]
No one wants to hear that I’m cold or that I despise getting up in the morning (I’ve concluded that I’m not a winter morning person) so I will skip right past my complaining (even though I totally just snuck it in here) and move on to a few recent meals. I had this […]
Another Mother’s Day breakfast tradition in the books! You may have already seen a sneak peek of our breakfast at Maureen’s Kitchen yesterday on Instagram. My son chose Maureen’s Kitchen for the third year in a row. We have learned that you must get there when they open to avoid the lines. So at 7:00 am, we […]
Mother’s Day is Sunday and it has basically become my favorite day of the year. In case you didn’t already know from previous years here on the blog, my son and I have a very special Mother’s Day breakfast tradition. We started our early morning breakfast tradition back in 2010 which was the first […]
The Dunkin Donuts people need to ask me my hockey team preference before pouring my coffee. This is serious business around here and I am starting to get real annoyed. The best baked oatmeal is definitely served at the Premier Diner. I love a good brunch. These crispy rice tuna things are always my […]
I needed to restock the kitchen a bit over the weekend before my son arrived home from camp. Since he always complains about Trader Joe’s cereals (and really, Trader Joe’s anything), I did my best to get some non-Trader Joe’s snacks and cereals that would hopefully meet my son’s requirements. I thought he would love […]
Although I eat a fairly high in complex carbohydrate diet on a daily basis, I still make adjustments to what I eat in preparation for races. Let’s take a look at what I ate last Friday, the day before I ran the Aspire 10k race. Even though I handle fiber extremely well and can totally run […]
First Friday night of the season outside at Prime. Summer is really almost here. I think Ben & Jerry’s will be my ice cream place for the summer. I am seriously contemplating ordering a different flavor every time I go which is not easy for me. Should I do it, as an ice cream experiment […]
So I think I had at least one reader paying attention to yesterday’s post…. Flowers (pink flowers!!) delivered to my doorstep. WITH CHOCOLATE. Do you know how long I contemplated which truffle to eat first? It’s finally Friday which means it’s time to talk about that oatmeal recipe I promised you! I sort of explained […]
Life is like a box of chocolates. At least my life is, or was this past weekend. And yes, I sampled just about all of them. You can’t hand me a big box of Godiva dark chocolates and expect me to eat just one. Just one chocolate would be dumb. That’s right, dumb. Who […]
