Buck Furpees, and oh, there’s some foliage!
This 100 Day Challenge sometimes annoys the crap out of me. Like, I’ve already gone to yoga, played 2 hours of sand volleyball, and I have to do 37 burpees? Some days, it’s my saving grace. Like, it’s 10pm, I’ve been working since 9am with no break, and it’s the only thing I could possibly [...]
Eggplant sweet potato lasagna
I had an eggplant sweet potato lasagna at a restaurant and thought to myself, “why didn’t I think of that?” But I promptly forgot about it, until I read a recipe for it in a magazine. I tore out the page, magneted it to my refrigerator, and then didn’t follow it at all. Y’all already [...]

Hiking Poles! and my workout
I promised somewhere (twitter? my blog? I don’t know) that I’d talk more about how awesome hiking/trekking poles are and how I’m pretty sure they are the only way I made it down Mount Massive a few weekends ago. Here’s an article detailing the science behind why you need hiking poles (I wrote it). And [...]
