I’ve never been much of a stuffed pepper fan because I’ve always found the filling too bland (or too salty), too mushy,or too watery in most cases. I’m happy to say that this recipe completely changed my mind. The filling in these peppers is full of flavor, crunch, and not the least bit liquidy....

I have been resting my legs all week as my hip injury slowly heals. Mostly, I’ve just been stretching as much as possible. I said in my last post that I would give it a week and assess whether or not I could start running again, but I can tell it will need another...

Oh dear, I’ve gone and injured myself. Remember that twinge of pain I felt in the 3rd mile of the Halfway to St. Patty’s Day 5k? By Sunday night, it was a full blown throbbing barely-can-walk PAIN. Monday was no better and I actually stayed home from work because I seriously could barely walk!...

Today I ran my second 5K ever, the Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day 5K.  It started (and finished) at the Wild Rover Pub in Manchester and was part of their annual Celtic Festival. So much fun! There were men in kilts, a band, and lots of Guinness! Scott and I drove up to Manchester...

After an incredibly stressful week at work, I took this past Friday off to turn my 3 day weekend into 4. So nice. The time off was much needed and I’ve enjoyed every second of it. I started off Friday by sleeping in, then I went out for a run. I was not anticipating...

It’s been hot as Hades this week up here in New Hampshire. Today’s high? 99. Oof. I don’t love running in weather over 90 degrees, but I still try to get a couple of short ones in if I can. I had to just say no this week, though. With 95+ degrees all week...
