Where’s the people?

So you all really are looking forward to me doing a video playing guitar at the end of the year? I hope you know what you are in store for…

I did not want to get up this morning. I have to say that going to the gym in the dark is not my favorite [...]

Recipe Tuesday – cooking a pumpkin!

Okay, I know that most of you (myself included) just buy canned pumpkin already done.  But if you should happen to come into possession of a pie pumpkin, the effort it takes really makes a tasty difference!

I will admit here that I never do this.  John always does the pumpkins, but I happily [...]

Lifting and lazy.

Monday and time for lifting!

It was pretty chatty at the gym today. 4 people asked me if I was missing riding my bike. LOL. That’s cause I drove this morning. I didn’t want to have to unhook the bike again and lug it down the stairs <—- lazy.

Tuesday Recipe – Pumpkin Cranberry Oat Bars

Pumpkin Cranberry Oat Bars

This is not a new recipe, but I made this up a couple years ago and it may have gotten lost (which it shouldn’t be), so I wanted to give it some love!  These are super duper easy.

Ingredients:

28 grams of whey protein powder (I used unflavored, [...]

Whole Wheat Pumpkin Scones

These turned out great!  Don’t be afraid of the butter in these.  It’s just really hard to get good scones without some solid fat, but there really is not that much per scone.  I reduced the butter in a typical recipe and changed some of the sugar to brown sugar to help keep in [...]

More ride reflections and being small?

Thank you all for your wonderful comments on my ride yesterday!  I woke up feeling pretty much fine this morning, surprisingly.  I did take Tylenol PM last night and got a good night’s sleep.  I actually was about 2 parsecs away from going to the gym to do some lifting, but then I figured a [...]

What’s blooming and ride prep.

Woke up to an early quiet morning today. Foggy out. It was cold, too!  Around 49 degrees.

I puttered around for a bit before deciding on what to have for breakfast:

Warm apple topping on waffles!  Tasty!  I was making plans to go to the farmer’s market when John got up.  He had [...]

Biking and Bettie’s Cupcakes

Ahhhh…. glorious coolness!  Wonderful breeze coming in this morning through our new windows

I was up early, as per usual, but John was sleeping in after a poker night.   Normally on Saturdays I eat when I get up, then John eats a couple hours later and we go biking.  I would get hungry [...]

Squish goes the water bottle and a new friend.

I woke up this morning ready for a run at the track!  I set my water bottle at the edge of the track, put on my tunes and headed around.  I was feeling great, I have to say.  I decided to go 4 miles today.

I had just finished up 3 miles and was going [...]
