I had a recipe scheduled for you today. But you know what? My food pictures suck.

Why don’t you go look at what Gina, from Running to the Kitchen, has cooked up for you instead (just don’t rate her recipes until after you’ve tried them! ). Or maybe something [...]

BLEND Recap #1: Let’s get this party started!

By chimes On May 11, 2012 · 7 Comments

Before I regale you with recaps, I have to share this picture with you. My friends and I went for a group trail run last night and though I didn’t think I kicked as much ass as I should have, I did manage to look the part.
