Candy Cane Chocolate Chip Cookies

Candy Cane Chocolate Chip Cookies

It's a bold move to try to improve on the classic chocolate chip cookie. But when it comes to holiday baking, I'm looking to make sure all my cookies are extra special. These candy cane chocolate chip cookies have both crushed candy canes and peppermint extract in them to make sure you get plenty of peppermint flavor to pair with the chocolate chips! Chewy, chocolatey, and minty, they're a great cookie to make this time of year. Today is our fourth day of cookie week and we are officially more ... continue reading...

Cranberry Orange Shortbread

Cranberry Orange Shortbread

Welcome back to day three of cookie week! If you missed the soft ginger molasses cookies or the chocolate crinkle cookies, be sure to check them out! Today, we are making this recipe for cranberry orange shortbread. For years I was intimidated by shortbread. I assumed that with such a high butter content my cookies would surely spread too thin and be a total mess. The key with shortbread is the right quantities of flour and butter, and also no leavening ingredients! That is what makes shortbread ... continue reading...

Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

It's day two of cookie week! In case you missed the first recipe, you can find my soft ginger molasses cookies here. But now, it's time for something chocolate. I'm a big believer in having chocolates in desserts, and these chocolate crinkle cookies are perfection. With a soft and chewy chocolate interior and powdered sugar on the outside, they're the perfect addition to a cookie box. The powdered sugar looks like snow, and I only make crinkle cookies around the holidays, so you can always ... continue reading...

Today is the first day of cookie week for the blog! From today through Sunday, I'll be sharing a new cookie recipe every day. There will be something for everyone, no matter what your taste is. These soft ginger molasses cookies are the first ones I'm sharing because I think when people think of Christmas cookies, gingerbread is one of the first things they think of.

Cranberry Apple Crisp

Cranberry Apple Crisp

I am here for this easy and delicious holiday dessert! Let's make something easy, but that's also tasty and uses in-season ingredients like fresh cranberries. Cranberry apple crisp is the perfect mix of sweet and tart, baked until bubbling with a crumbly topping. A scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce is all you need to complete this and your dessert is ready to go! It's good enough to be your dessert after Christmas dinner, but it's easy enough to make any day of the week. ... continue reading...

This is my fourth and final recipe in partnership This is my fourth and final recipe in partnership with @wabeeflove for the Mother Runner series! I’ve been running since I was in elementary school, and racing ultramarathons for almost 18 years. My pre race meal? Always pasta with meat sauce. This bolognese sauce has been tweaked over the years and I’m convinced it’s the best you’ll ever have. I love this recipe so much that when I travel for races I pack it up to bring with me! It’s delicious, freezes well, and feeds a crowd. Full recipe linked in my profile! #beefrecipes #pastasauce #highprotein #proteinrecipes #beefitswhatsfordinner

“Are you hungry? Are you tired? Do you need a jack “Are you hungry? Are you tired? Do you need a jacket, some water?
Of course, I’ll carry everything you’ve collected.
Of course, I’ll sit on the grass.
Do you need a fortress, a fire, something soft to fall onto?
I’ll hold you, hold you together.
Hold you forever.
Will you always reach for my hand the way you do now?
I’ll expand if you need me to. I’ll give if it helps you.
I’ll cross every river and face every storm. 
Is that too much? Too little?
Am I guiding you forward or holding you back?
You’re green now but in a blink you’ll be older. I’m getting older.
This life flicks by faster and faster. One day I’ll leave you.
I don’t want to leave you.
Can I pause time? Bottle this moment? How do I keep you when nothing lasts?”
- from “Thoughts of a Mother” by L.E. Bowman

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! Being a mom is the longest, shortest, hardest, holiest work we will ever do. Grateful today and every day for the five people who call me “mom.” 🩷

⛰️Squak Mountain 50k ⛰️ Gosh what a DAY! I committ ⛰️Squak Mountain 50k ⛰️ Gosh what a DAY! I committed to pushing myself to the end of my rope and I absolutely did. I made a lofty goal time of 6:40 and finished in 6:33 after going out way too fast the first loop 😂, but what are races for if not to push past the limit? By the last 8 miles I had nothing left in the tank and found a way to dig deep and finish with two of my fastest miles all day. All in all, an effort I’m super proud of and I couldn’t have worked any harder than I did. It was a “full send” kind of day and I am so happy (and totally exhausted).

Thank you for friends who cheered me on near and far, watched kids during some training runs, and of course @kevin_dieterich for your endless support and making sure the whole family was at the finish line. None of this happens without you. 💛

Happy third birthday to our sweet Killian Michael! Happy third birthday to our sweet Killian Michael! For over a month he’s been asking me daily “mommy, when is my birthday?” And today is the day! Killian is a bundle of love with so much personality. Every morning when he wakes up he announces to the family as he comes downstairs “look who’s coming down!” And insists on big hugs from all his siblings before bed. Everyone is as obsessed with him as the day he was born. Killian loves all forms of transportation but his favorites are fire trucks, trains, and garbage trucks. We build train tracks for hours when his siblings are in school! He doesn’t like carbonated beverages because they are “too spicy.” Killian you are sweet and kind and inquisitive and have so much to say which is both hilarious and adorable. Killian, you are such a joy and this whole family loves you to pieces. We can’t wait to celebrate you all day!! Happy birthday boo bear 💙

You don’t need to be training for an ultramarathon to want an easy dinner at the end of the day. We’ve all been there-maybe our day started early or just was so busy we are too tired to make dinner. These slow cooker Korean braised short ribs save me. A little prep in the morning and come dinnertime I’ve got a nourishing and delicious meal that my whole family will love. The protein from the beef in this recipe helps my muscles recover and makes sure I can wake up early tomorrow and hit my training just as hard.
