Happy Saturday! Last night was spent introducing Bobby to How I Met Your Mother. Anyone else a fan of that show? He wasn’t completely convinced after the first episode but after the second, he was obviously getting into it. We proceeded to watch four more before calling it a night. 🙂 For dinner, we made […]

Chicken + Peeta
I promise the Hunger Games post titles will stop after this one, but I couldn’t help myself (again). There isn’t even a pita in this post, technically, but this picture reminded me of one, and then I thought of my sister-in-law, Susan, who told me that “Peeta” always reminded her of “pita” as she was […]
The Boy With The Bread
Will that be the last Hunger Games reference from me? I’m making no promises. I can promise, however, that meal planning is off to a good start. For yesterday’s lunch I threw together ate my planned bowl of miso soup. I made it Mama Bender style, with mushrooms and a dollop of “sour cream,” aka […]

Oh, you mean you automatically assumed I was reading a book and/or having a cozy night in? You know […]
Slightly Spicy Snoozy Saturday
It was so nice to be able to sleep in this morning! There wasn’t as much sleep to be had this past week but I’m finally feeling caught up and hopefully will no longer hit a wall at 3:00 p.m. Last night we stayed in to watch basketball, which also means we opened a bottle […]
Run + Refuel
It was another gorgeous day for a run in Chicago. The weather forecast shows some clouds and cooler temperatures rolling in later tonight, so I decided to push my training run up to make sure I could have one last outdoor adventure, at least for the time being. There was a definite “spring” in my […]
Book Review: The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins
I picked up a copy of The Hunger Games on a whim last summer. Less than one week later, I had plowed my way through all three books. It’s no secret that I love young adult books – Harry Potter and Twilight, anyone? – but this was the first series I had come across with […]
