Blood Orange Margaritas

Blood Orange Margaritas || For the Love of Gourmet

The two cocktails that I enjoy most are Moscow mules and margaritas. But when it comes to a margarita, I want it to be done the right way. I want freshly-squeezed lime juice, no sour mix. I want a salty rim. I want it to be bursting with citrus flavor but not so much so that the flavor of the tequila doesn't come through. These blood orange margaritas are the perfect way to use winter citrus. Blood oranges are delicious, and they also give this cocktail its signature color. The recipe below ... continue reading...

Apple Pie Baked Oatmeal

apple pie baked oatmeal

It's no secret that our mornings are very busy. I have to nurse the baby while the other three kids want breakfast, which means it's easiest if I have breakfast ready before the kids are even up. I wake up at 5am most days to exercise and get ready, but the few extra minutes of quiet before the day begins are precious. Having a breakfast already ready to go, like muffins or this apple pie baked oatmeal, makes my morning start more smoothly. As a bonus to me, it gives me a few extra minutes of ... continue reading...

Crispy Tofu Bowls

The Best Crispy Tofu || For the Love of Gourmet

Do you like tofu? I think a lot of people don't because it kind of tastes like...nothing. That can be a bad thing if you don't know how to prepare it, but it can be a great thing if you do! Tofu's blandness means that it will soak up any flavor you put on it, and while the initial texture can be off-putting to some, removing some of the moisture and crisping the tofu up in the oven will give you the best crispy tofu to serve on top of vegetables for a healthy vegetarian meal. How to make ... continue reading...

Slow Cooker Italian Wedding Soup

Slow Cooker Italian Wedding Soup

Italian wedding soup is one of my favorites. Tiny pasta, little baby meatballs, and some vegetables snuck in there to make it healthy-ish, it's a cozy bowl of deliciousness that I want to dive into with a hunk of crusty bread on the side. To keep things easy, I used my crock pot. There are some people out there who prefer the Instant Pot or the Crock Pot exclusively, but I think they both deserve a place in the kitchen. With this slow cooker Italian wedding soup it's never been easier to make ... 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

⛰️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.
