Making “lists” of 2011’s music, food, and more made me wonder about another list: my personal top-ten posts of 2011. Since the internet makes it such that you all leave a very clear trail through the blog [hooray technology?], I was easily able to see my most popular entries of 2011. So here’s the countdown. […]
A happy holiday and wonderful new year. I hope everyone is enjoying this restful time [and blogging down time] as much as we are! Love, Courtney, Shaun and Grady.
Courtney grew up just outside Reading, PA, and whenever we visit the area, I make sure to sample the unique regional fare. From whoopie pies to sweet bologna, shoofly pie to soft serve, our visits usually leave me smiling like a hedgehog prepared for hibernation. Our most recent visit took me to two new spots […]
Is really sort of a problem. It’s the only thing I ever want around the holidays, in any form. It’s my absolute favorite flavor, cookie, muffin, bread, you name it. There’s something about the molasses and ginger combination that makes me melt. I’m pretty bummed that Arch’s never does a gingerbread Wow Cow [we also […]
I’ve already re-capped my favorite things to make, but sometimes its nice to have someone else cook for you, too. Since I spent my time between three different cities in 2011 [C’Ville, Philadelphia, and NYC] I was able to try tons of new places and developed some new obsessions. All of the dishes and restaurants listed […]
Greetings from Virginia Beach! It’s seventy degrees here. Shaun and I were psyched to do one of our training runs outdoors yesterday, but were quickly shocked by the warmth and humidity. Who knew I’d sweat in a t-shirt and shorts on the first day of winter? Grady’s enjoying his travels, too – along with an adorable […]
I unfortunately couldn’t find a good Arrested Development clip, but one of the recurring jokes is how George Michael freaks every time someone throws something at him. We tried to teach Grady to catch ice in his mouth, and discovered that he, too, has a fear of objects flying at his face. Happy Holidays. Oh, and […]
I should start by reminding you I’m not a personal trainer; but that said, I thought I’d share some of the fitness trends that “worked” for me in 2011. By “worked” I mean they were challenging, sweat-inducing, and fun! Don’t hesitate to ask any questions, and as always, consult a doctor or trainer before you […]
It’s official… I am 5/6 of the way through law school. I’m one semester away from a J.D. I’m graduating in five months. No matter how you say it, it sounds equally exciting and scary. In honor of being finished with exams [and being ecstatic about that fact], here are some links I’m ecstatic about. 1. […]
As promised, here’s my recipe for Carrot Cake Buckwheat Bake. The water-filled carrots add softness to this bake [and you can see them peeking out in the photo!]. I’m beginning to adore the flavor of buckwheat, too. Carrot Cake Buckwheat Breakfast Bake (Vegetarian, Vegan Option) Inspired by this [from my own arsenal]; adapted from this [at Edible […]
