If you’re new to my blog, you might find yourself wondering, who is this amazing man and why do I keep letting him cook for me?
Well, my wonder-bred Italian boy is none other than my boyfriend (my BF or beef as Kelly and I started saying), Mark. What gives [...]
Today’s guest post comes from my blend (blogger + friend), Kelly. I met her in person a couple weekends ago and she is SO sweet. Even though she doesn’t eat sugar anymore.
Here’s the abridged version of her story, along with some great recipes of hers. Thanks, Kelly!

Hello, life + running readers! I’m [...]
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 [...]
I was hoping to do a Humpday Blog Love post every week until Blend, but I didn’t get a chance to write this week’s post, and I wanted to let her review it before I posted it. So I will resume with the blog lovin’ next week!
Instead, I [...]
This week I’m featuring Heather‘s blog, Kiss My Broccoli. Heather’s from Tennessee and has a lot of sass.
Not only does her blog have a catchy name, it’s got some great stuff. Including a LOT of recipes. And pancakes.
I started [...]
We bought some English muffin bread a while back at the farmers’ market, but I thought I’d see about making some on my own.
I’ve been making this weekly for the past month so Mark can make his egg sandwiches for breakfast. And I’ve been working on making it better [...]
My friend Meredith recently made a trip to Iowa from Texas for work and we went out for dinner with a couple of our other girlfriends and hopped over to Borders.
There we found two of the most amazing books. Ever.
Because regular Pirates aren’t that popular anymore.
I love to cook and so does my beau and I’d like to think we’re pretty good at it. But every once in a while there is a major flop.
Fortunately, we’re not to blame on this one. The recipe we used STINKS!
This week’s Humpday Blog love goes to my friend Steph Hertel’s Turtle Soup blog. Don’t confuse her with the yodeling sensation, Stefanie Hertel.
I don’t even know where to start! Steph is pretty much the perfected version of what I do at my blog … she makes things … creates things [...]
So, I decided not to go to the grocery store this weekend. So, we made due with what was in the house for breakfast and dinner, which made for a couple of interesting recipes! Again, I don’t have any pictures. Mostly because I was mad that some of the pancakes burned (so be careful with [...]

Hi there. I'm Calee. Not Caylee. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 27, a designer, a runner, a self-proclaimed fitness queen, a craftster, a foodie, a music snob — some might call me a hipster. Here's the unabridged version.
