We make a lot of pizza. You all know this from the ridiculous number of recipes we post. Lately, though, weve been going far beyond the usual sauce and cheese. It started with the Mexican Pizza with ...
I get bored with my running routes. Often. I have several 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 mile loops and out-and-back courses I cycle through each month. I string some of these routes together for long runs, too. ...
Last time, we told you all about B-a-n-a-n-a-s -- one of Stephens favorite foods. Today? Garlic, which is perhaps my favorite food of all. I cant think of many dishes we dont include it in. And its a...
Im having one of those technology challenged days. Like, I drafted this awesome post about why garlic is good for you . . . in a Word document. And somehow I didnt save it. Yeah. Like a boss. So, tha...
Ive always read that my dinner should be as colorful as the rainbow. Color means nutrients. Good choices. Health. So, imagine my surprise when -- unplanned -- dinner ended up in all shades of white/b...
Kimberly asks: "I am a relatively new runner and looking at training plans for my first 10K. I notice that some plans go by minutes while others go by miles. Whats the difference between training...
VEGAN STUFFED EGGPLANT What youll need . . . 2 medium eggplants 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 small cooking onion, chopped 4 cups chopped red Swiss chard 1 can kidney beans, drain...
One of the most frequent questions I receive related to my running these days is about increasing mileage and breastmilk supply issues. I thought itd be helpful to post all this information, as I see...
Over the weekend, I re-read my Skinny Versus Healthy post from a couple years ago. So much has changed about my body image since I wrote it, especially after my pregnancy. Becoming an athlete, seeing...
Quick recipe tonight. Its packed full of nutrients, too. I mean, I try my best to cook healthfully as much as I can -- but I favor pizza, garlic knots, and more bread. This isnt a secret. Youve seen ...
It seems the only area in my life where Im conservative is with my running. Well, and I guess now with my new job Im also conservative with our money. Like whoa. But thats another story entirely. Tod...
{ Giveaway now closed } CONGRATS TO KELLI, who writes: "Im a frugal foodie in the making!" There are several things Ive been meaning to write about these last several weeks. But none of them ...
Were both getting a little bored of our veggie behemoth -- THE LOVER. Well, maybe not. Definitely not. But we thought it was time to make up a fresh sandwich to stuff ourselves with on weekends. Or w...
I know, I know. Sugar. But Ive been doing much better with it since my last post. I dont even feel like I NEED to eat dessert every day of the week, which is huge progress. Todays recipe is one creat...
First postpartum half marathon is officially in the books -- and though I didnt PR, I certainly surprised myself with my finish time. Ive done many races since having Ada (several 10Ks and a 15K), bu...
I guess you could say I slacked this month on my fitness challenge (check out month 1 and month 2). Yet in other ways, I did a lot. Our half marathon is on Sunday, so the main focus the past several ...
I know I say this a lot, but I truly, truly mean it. This is my favorite recipe . . . ever. I came up with it on a whim this past weekend while I was toying around with our 5-minute naan. Thing is, t...
We dont often go out to eat. Our budget doesnt allow for it, and there are few local restaurants that we love. One of our favorites has this amazing penne alla vodka on the menu. You can order it pla...
Id like to be the kind of person who thinks ahead. Reality is, Im not. Stephen often (very sarcastically, of course) calls me "foresight Ashley" because there are so many instances when I jus...
Hows eating zero sugar going, Ashley? Ive been quiet about it. Im sure some of you are wondering. For a while, four whole days, in fact, it was fine. I had no desire to bake cookies at 9PM. Then I ha...
Thing about that ratatouille recipe is that it doesnt fill us up on its own. Thats why I made up these peppery polenta bites to accompany dinner. They were definitely an afterthought. We hadnt made p...
I have a few recipes in the memory bank for nights when I feel like cooking up something healthy with very little effort. Ratatouille is one of these recipes. I mean, what could be simpler/healthier/...
I finally got a chance the motivation to run my timed mile this afternoon. Unfortunately, I havent had time to head to the track like I wanted, so I picked one of the flattest runs of pavement I coul...
I think the best thing I did while I was pregnant was make a MONDO-batch of pumpkin chili and freeze it. Seven months later, were still slurping the stuff on nights when we simply have no time to coo...
At the beginning of the month, I set a new goal with my running. Not to get faster. Not to run more days each week. Not to PR at any races anytime soon. Nope. My goal is to run a 10K with the jogging...
Im still working my way through all of your amazing and supportive comments on my sugar addiction post. When I wrote it, we were getting ready to leave for a day trip to Ithaca. So, imagine my surpri...
The first step is always admitting you have a problem. Right? Well, thats what I did on Wednesday night after eating tablespoonful after heaping tablespoonful of chocolate chip cookie dough (from thi...
Those Chevron Peanut Butter Cookie Bars are a tough act to follow. Thats for sure. But todays recipe is for a super open-faced sandwich. And its pretty customizable, which I love. It may seem like a ...
I simply couldnt wait to share this idea with you all. If you follow me on Pinterest, you know -- like everyone else in the world, it seems -- that Im obsessed with chevron print EVERYTHING. So, I go...
We have bags upon bags of frozen blueberries leftover from our winter CSA share. Its not that we dont like blueberries. I just tend to bake with chocolate and peanut butter, as youll see later this w...
