After 2 workouts, lots of walking around the Flower Show and enjoying the weather walking around the city, I was exhausted. But with 8 miles on my training calendar tomorrow, I needed to power up tonight. I knew exactly what I needed: Oat Risotto. I love using oats instead of other grains for savory dishes …

After eating my egg white muffins all week, I wanted something that would fuel me up for the Be Well Philly Pop-Up Workouts at the Philadelphia Flower Show today, but taste like a weekend brunch. I also had no patience for using the oven or for taking pictures, so for now, you'll just have to …

A quick Google search resulted in the following: Why did you Google the word busy? I frequently find myself describing my life as busy, often almost in competition with others. Recently there has been a lot of noise about how being busy isn't impressive anymore, so people should learn to slow down. But who's to …
I started writing another blog post for today, and then something happened at work that made me decide I needed to focus on something else. Backing up I have a job that when people hear what I do, they are surprised I'm able to keep a blog and social media presence up. I have large …
