You’re a fat kid at heart when…

My journey back to the treadmill.
It’s funny how the universe has made a 360 on me and I am now best friends with the treadmill again. In October of 2011, my running journey began. I had been exercising since 9th grade, so...

Beer-Braised Sriracha Chicken
Let’s talk recipe sharing – I don’t do that enough anymore. I realized I love to pick recipes from internet/cookbooks and dissect everything as I am going about cooking it. I rarely ever am satisfied...

I never need to get takeout again.
