Thinking out Loud VIII

1. I have been very slowly, but surely, updated my blog. New recipes are now filed under almost all the categories. Obviously, there are not many in each yet, but there are some. Each link will take you to one of my recipes. Except the 

WIAW: Pumpkin Maple Oatmeal

I know I just said goodbye to fall,  but as I ended the last post, that doesn’t mean that I am a going to give up my fall flavors (and maybe candles) that quickly. Yesterday morning, after my six-mile run on the treadmill, I came 

Goodbye Fall

I have decided it officially hit winter. I was looking at the forecast and this is what I saw.. Let’s just say, I am not thrilled about any temperatures that dip below the 50s. I will survive, but I am not super excited about running

WIAW- New and Old Favorites
