Cauliflower Cheddar Soup
*If you haven’t already, be sure to check out my BLOGIVERSARY GIVEAWAY!* Cauliflower is one of those vegetables that I hated as a kid. To me, it looked like bland broccoli, and broccoli used to be my least favorite vegetable. That is, until I tried cauliflower. Today, one of my favorite ingredients is cauliflower, especially when its used in soups. It has the ability to transform regular purees to something that is velvety, rich and creamy without actually adding real cream to the mix. This soup is simple and easy and I love how the cheddar just sort of brings everything … Continue reading

Pasta with Butternut Squash Sauce
A few weeks ago I went to Le Cirque in NYC and had a fabulous appetizer: pasta tossed with butternut squash and topped with whipped ricotta cheese and a piece of fried sage. I liked the flavors so much, that I decided to recreate something similar at home. This butternut squash pasta sauce is both savory and slightly sweet (but in a good way). Plus, the addition of ricotta cheese gives the sauce an irresistibly creamy texture. You feel like you’re eating a sinful cheesey pasta dish, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Don’t you love it when … Continue reading
Running for Speed
As far as my running goes, I’m pretty much a comfortable pace kinda girl. I know my “money speed,” where I can zone out and run for miles and miles without getting overly tired. Push me beyond that pace and I feel uncomfortable, crampy and out of breath. But, now that I have some races marked down on my calendar following the dreaded Snow-a-thon, I’m looking to improve my running time in hopes of hitting some new personal records. Enter interval training. I first started adding interval training to my running calendar when I was training for my first (and … Continue reading
