St. Germain and Elderflower Rhubarb Bubbles

Fridays are for wearing sweatpants to work.  Fridays are for feeling justified for spending half the day browsing the internet for non-work related items.  Fridays are for planning all the awesome things you will do on the weekend.  Fridays are for that unmatched feeling of looking forward to two whole days where you don’t have to wake up early.

Fridays are for opening the bottle of wine while cooking.  Fridays are for cocktails.

Brie, Prosciutto, and Cherry Sandwiches

We had sandwiches for dinner.  Funny how a sandwich for lunch seems awesome, but having a sandwich for dinner sounds like we’re not trying.  What did the poor sandwich do to deserve this double standard? 

If I called it a crostini, then we would be impressed.  

Brownie / Oreo / Chocolate Chip Cookie Cupcakes {For the SPCA National Cupcake Day!}

It’s National Cupcake Day in support of the SPCA and Humane Society!  And really, any excuse to make cupcakes it a good one.  But when you think of all the poor abandoned and abused animals out there that need our help, doesn’t that make it even more worth it to participate? 



For this cupcake recipe I wanted to do something really over the top.  The inspiration came from “slutty” brownies that have been making the internet rounds.  This brownie has been around my friends!  It has had an affair with Oreo AND chocolate chip cookies.  Essentially an Oreo brownie with a chocolate chip cookie base. 

Kale, Dragon Fruit, and Coconut Smoothie

I am training for a 10k race in May.  The race is in May, not the training.  The training is now.  Or at least it was until I got reinjured.  

Injuries are the worst.  I had the best intentions of sticking to my training schedule and now I can’t!  But of course I still feel guilty.  As if I was faking the injury just to get out of training.  It’s all so silly.  Runner’s guilt, who has felt this before?  

My Week in Meals

This week has been crazy!  I’ve been at work more than I’ve been at home, and I haven’t stepped foot in the kitchen in days. 

Last weekend was a long weekend, and knowing that I was about to embark on this week of craziness I relaxed to the max.  I made the best coconut soup ever and discovered that galangal juice stings if it gets you in the eye.  I shared some blackberry and white chocolate pavlova with you.
