Workouts Monday: The plan was to go running, but it was pouring so I did a whole heck of a lot of lunges inspired by Fitnessista’s 10 Ways to Lunge. I also did 3 minutes of a forearms and toes plank (10 seconds of holding the plank, 5 seconds relaxing). Tuesday: I went for a [...]

Happy Birthday Cake
Posted in baking, tagged baking on May 6, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
For my birthday this year I decided to make myself a cake. Some people (my mother) think it’s sad I made my own cake, but I love baking and enjoyed doing it. Since I love anything with malted milk I decided to make a Triple Chocolate Malt Cake. I followed the recipe for the cake [...]
The Weekend
Posted in baking, Friends, Running, tagged baking, friends, Running on July 31, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Yes, a recap of what I did this weekend. I really like these posts but lately I’ve seen bloggers bash their own recap posts which I think it strange. They’re really great! Friday started with a pool party at my friend Elisa’s apartment. It was an overcast, hot day, just like every other day she’s [...]
“Healthy” Mother’s Day Cupcakes
Posted in baking, Cupcake, family, tagged baking, Cupcake, family on May 16, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Since I was going home this past weekend I didn’t want to go home two weekends in a row. Therefore I missed Mother’s Day. My mother, who has been a vegan for a year now, gave me lots of guilt about not being home and sent many passive aggressive messages that I should bake her [...]
Royal Wedding Party
Posted in baking, Friends, tagged baking, friends on May 12, 2011 | 1 Comment »
I’ll admit that I’ve always been interested in the British royals, mainly William and Harry since they’re around my age and, like most people, I have very vivid memories of when their mother died. I was never obsessive about it, but I’ll read an article if I see one. I watched the ITN interview William [...]
Irish Soda Bread

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I’m actually not a fan of St. Patrick’s Day. I’m all about afternoon drinking and having a good time, but St. Patrick’s Day, much like New Year’s Eve, just seems like amateur hour to me. But I do like Irish Soda bread and this year I decided to make my own. [...]
Red Velvet Brownies

This is the story of my adventures with red velvet brownies. A few weeks ago I saw a recipe for the brownies on How Sweet It Is. (I should preface all of this by saying that I don’t really like red velvet.) For some reason I couldn’t stop thinking about the red velvet brownies and, [...]
Chocolate Malted Whopper Cookies
Posted in baking, tagged baking on March 8, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I am a huge fan of malted milk. When I was a kid a Frosty was the perfect treat from Wendy’s and Christmas and Easter candy always included Whoppers or fancy malted milk balls from a candy store. Even as an adult the love affair continued, the summer I lived in Washington, DC I frequently [...]

I made some delicious chocolate cookies yesterday. After washing my hands a million times because I am, yet again, sick. They were quick, easy, and delicious. Recipe can be found here. They’re also way too easy to eat which is why I’ve been giving them away to everyone I’ve seen.
Super Bowl, Super Food
Posted in baking, Cooking, tagged baking, Cooking on February 6, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Did a bit of cooking to bring to my friend’s apartment to watch the Super Bowl. Seven Layer Dip. Recipe: Common sense. Grass-fed local ground beef cooked with homemade taco seasoning; canned refried beans; store-bought salsa; sour cream; homemade guac; onions; two types of cheddar cheese. There is also a vegetarian side (same layers minus [...]
