Spiralized Carrot Salad
The deep winter CSA share was great, but left us drowning in carrots. Which meant I was scrambling for ways for us to eat them because raw-carrots-dipped-in-ranch was getting bor-ing. And one can only eat so many maple roasted carrots. As spring arrived I…

My Fitness Story (Part 2)

My Fitness Story
(Part 1) I think know I’ve been hesitating publishing this post because it is the most personal that I have gotten so far. Today I reminded myself that the last 9 months have included lots of me pushing my boundaries physically and emotionally because that…
