I'm back from this round of traveling. I went to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to teach a class. If you have heard about it, but have never been, it's a great place to visit. I taught the class on the campus of Michigan Tech. For those who are not familiar with this university, it's [...]

Supplements, should you use them?
Over the past few months, I had been increasing tired. I couldn't pinpoint why. I was spending most of my Sundays napping throughout the day. That's unlike me. I'm a pretty energetic person and never needed naps before. I knew it wasn't overtraining because my running times were good and I wasn't feeling like I [...]
Creamy Harissa Butter Beans
I'm happy this week is a normal week. It's nice to get back into my routine. Until, of course, I travel again. I spent some time over Memorial Day looking around for some interesting recipes. I found one from Sweet Greens Vegan. It seems when I look for new recipes, the same few get recycled. [...]
Almond-Pumpkin Seed Cake with Chocolate Ganache
I feel like I can't catch a break. This summer will be travel, catch up, local conference, catch up and repeat. I'm happy to travel and do all kinds of fun things, but not being home or in the office much takes its toll. So a short post this week. This week I'm doing a [...]
Crispy Chili Beef
I am keeping with the theme of simplicity this week. Just got back and have more travelling to do. The last conference Tony likes to go to because we have the place pretty much memorized. We go every year to the same venue. He also likes to get away from all of the house work. [...]
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars
This week I'm getting ready for a conference and I spent some time doing car work. The conference is our big annual conference, where over 1,000 people of many professions come together. It's fun, but a lot of work. I help people get continuing education for our sessions and that is daunting, but always worth [...]
Easy Peruano Bean Soup
This week I am working on my running form. I have been having a nagging proximal hamstring injury that hasn't gotten any better. I figured it had something to do with my running. I just didn't know what. I don't have a running coach, so making improvements was impossible without some guidance. I know this [...]
Tofu Lazone
This week we have been working on the outside of both of our houses. Trying to get things done before the weather gets too warm and stuff starts to bloom. Our current house, it looks more like a yard and less like an overgrown mess. We had some serious vegetation around the entire yard. Now [...]
Lemon Layer Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese Buttercream
You know when you have certain things in your family health history that you know will affect you some day? I knew one day that my cholesterol would no longer stay controlled. I have been lucky so far that I have been able to keep my bad cholesterol in check by diet and exercise. Well [...]
Lower Carb Mississippi Mud Cake
Another busy week. I spent most of it on work related stuff. Tony got a root canal. I've never seen a man so happy to do that. I understand why. He had an infection and a lot of pain. He waited too long to get it done. He was also expecting to be laid up [...]
