Woohoo, it’s Friday! This afternoon The Man and I are headed on a very special trip… more on that at the end of this outfits post. 🙂

The Importance of Taste
Just one of our decadent breakfasts this week
We Eat So Well
…and I want to talk about it.
After three or four days of consuming whatever the heck we fancied in Crested Butte—including an assortment of things we don’t usually eat, like ice cream and a bucket of fried chicken—it’s been nice to return to our whole foods-centric lifestyle.
One of my favorite things (there are many) about Nick is his passion for making delicious meals from whole, organic, and nutritious ingredients. He’s really made a believer out of me.
A Weekend in Crested Butte, Part 2 of 2
A Long Trail Run
Our first day in Crested Butte was nice and relaxed as we eased into vacation mode. Our second day was relaxed in a different way: after a small, quick breakfast we headed out to the Lower Loop Trail to go trail running and explore! We ended up logging 10.5 miles. (I also took a thousand photos.) And then, of course, we refueled like professionals. Crested Butte is a foodie’s town!
Dinner at Annette in The Stanley Marketplace
Scratch to Table
On the night before surgery and all through the house, I decided to get out of the house and tag along to dinner with my editor and her husband at Annette, a “scratch to table” restaurant out in the Stanley Marketplace.
The design is fresh, the service was outstanding, and the food was on point. Take a look.
Trying Out a New Kale Salad
Monday Night Cook-All
This past Monday night, the man and I tested out a new recipe from a new cookbook, Simple Green Suppers, A Fresh Strategy for One-Dish Vegetarian Meals. We also put together some easy lunches for the next day, and I thought I’d document it all because food is fun—end of story.
A Deliciously Savory Salmon Meal
Get Your Chop Sticks Ready
After my trip to LA, I’ve had an ongoing seafood craving. This past weekend, as part of our weekly meal prep, the man took my very specific cravings of the day (seafood, of course, but also sticky rice and veggies) and crafted this easy, luxurious, and remarkably simple Asian-inspired meal:
Poached salmon on top of baby bok choy in a ginger/soy sauce over rice
Here’s the recipe!
Celebrating 1 Year at Barolo Grill!
Denver Date Night
I can’t believe I met the man a year ago! We’ve had such a great time together these past 12 months, running, laughing, and savoring delicious food (and life) together. We decided to go back to Barolo Grill, where we celebrated 6 months back in August.
We had no idea that this visit would surpass our expectations in every way. Literally everything was outstanding.
Take a look (but not if you’re hungry!)
It’s National Pizza Day!
A SACRED DAY
Let us take a moment of silence…
This should be a national holiday, in my book. To celebrate, I’ve pulled together some of my all-time favorite pizzas, either procured from divine pizza establishments or made by the pizza-lovin’ man and me.
May my ode to the world’s greatest round creation since the wheel inspire you to indulge on this holiest of Thursdays.
(Turns out I have eaten a LOT of pizza…)
My 30th Birthday: Part 2
BIRTHDAY SURPRISES
Upon arriving at home, the man and I packed up a suitcase and went to a surprise location, followed by a delicious 5-course meal! ❤
A 10-Mile Long Run…
…MAKES YOU HUNGRY!
(I’m trying to get caught up with all the excitement this week, so expect lots of blog posts!)
This past Saturday night I flew back to Denver, where Nick and I promptly indulged in Cosmo’s pizza (he loves me!) before passing out at 9pm. Lame, you might say… except for the fuel and energy it lent to our long run Sunday morning!
