Recovery Part V. Running, redefined.
It happened. After months of anticipation, I finally took my first steps. And it wasn’t at all what I expected. It was running, but not running. Yet another unexpected part of the recovery. What actually happens when I DO get to run? I hadn’t put my thought into. I just assumed that I’d… read more »
Really Good Weekend Muffins
There’s something about Sunday afternoons and baking. They seem to go together really well. And especially so this spring, as it’s been rainy most Sunday afternoons. I like it. Whenever I think of breakfast muffins I think of my friend Charlotte. She made glorious breakfast muffins AND had a knack for unique flavor combinations. These… read more »
3.14 Happy Pi Day!
I had to make a pie for Pi day. I’m just that cool. 3.141592653589793238462643383279501884197169399375105820974944592307816 I’ve made a few pies in the past, mostly on thanksgiving.

Rainy days + dreams of chocolate & peanut butter
I have learned to love rainy days. I used to dread the sound of rain on the roof when I woke up. That meant I was going to have to run in the rain :/ I have some PTSD from my time spent living in the valley (Corvallis & Eugene). I remember waking up (most… read more »
Recovery Part IV: Focus
Focus on the process. In art as it is in life: focus on the process…. I often catch myself thinking about the future. Dreaming of running in the mountains or toeing the line at races this summer. And although it’s ok to think about the big picture, I also need to focus on the now…. read more »
Chocolate Cashew Butter Cookies
I have to confess, the reason I decided to bake cookies is because I was eating spoonful after spoonful of nut butter with chocolate chips on top. Save me from myself! So, instead of just eating the nut butter + chocolate chips by the spoonful I thought baking them as cookies would make it more… read more »
Celebrate Love + a Recipe to Match
Valentine’s Day is a great reminder to love ourselves. We don’t have need to splurge on extravagant gifts or experience. Rather, surround yourself with people you love and share something that makes you feel vibrant, alive, and beautiful. And if you are celebrating the day with solo; even better. Some things I love: Real, raw… read more »
Rustic Blood Orange + Pear Galette
Jillian comes to visit! I love my cousin to pieces. I so much look forward to spending time together and immersing Jillian in Bend life. She fits right in. Jillian and I both love good food and are passionate about cooking. So, of course, we love to create recipes together! On this particular visit, we… read more »
Recovery Part III: Listen to Your Body…
“Listen to your body……” This is a phrase I’ve heard many times. Heck, it’s even a phrase I’ve caught myself saying to clients I work with. But what does that even mean? Because if I’m honest, when I hear the phrase “listen to your body” it’s often accompanied by an eye roll. Yeah right. Like… read more »
Coconut Chai Ice Cream
Yum. This ice is cream delicious and creamy. We’ve been on a homemade ice cream kick at our house. So far we’ve made eggnog (for Christmas eve), chocolate, and plain old vanilla. Simple. Classic. Delicious. But, it was time to step outside the box and try something new. I wanted to try a cashew and… read more »
