Coco – I told you blueberries work in salads

Mandy A – I remember being unable to run a mile. You’ll be surprised at how much our bodies can achieve with a little practice

Haha, Madison – I think I can picture you squeeling inside at the discovery of pb chips… I would

She-Fit – I have a HUGE sweet tooth too. Usually gets me in trouble actually, but these babies are delicious and light(er). Can’t go wrong!

K – that hummus is pretty awesome. I can’t believe I have 6 tubs… I feel like one lucky blogger. Wanna come to Boston for a little tasting?

Elizabeth – my 1/2 is on October 11th (Columbus day weekend). Good luck on your 8 miler this weekend! Visualize the finish line and you’ll get there!!

Alison – hmm, I didn’t mind the strings. I sauteed some last night for dinner and my husband finished them before the meat (which he couldn’t stop talking about how good that was). Now that’s a small victory!

Sophia – I’ll be on the lookout for that scent at the Bath & Body Works.

Lara – thanks for the “holy moly” You are dead on the hunger thing. I couldn’t stop eating the next day! Weird that there is a delay like that. Get back into it slowly so you don’t get injured or burnt out, ok?

Lara – you’re so lucky that John is a bigger veggie lover than Adam is. I feel like I always have to be extra careful with stuff like that and also expect to eat 3 servings of leftovers in case it doesn’t go over well (ha, I sound like I’m dealing with a child here). This recipe was definitely a good one… and the brownies… mmm. Oh and you’re invited for a little tasting of dessert hummus if you don’t mind boxes around you I really like it!

Ttfn – same goes to you on the hummus tasting. I feel like I should spread some of that hummus love I’m up for doing some shorter runs if you’d like, you speed demon

CONGRATS on a great run! i’m so glad you had a chance to meet up with molly, it really does help maybe someday i’ll work up to more mileage and be able to join you

that salad looks gorgeous, and pb chips in those brownies!!!

First of all, 8 MILES!!!! Go girl. That is awesome! It sounds like you are progressing wonderfully well toward the 1/2 marathon.

I am so intrigued by this dessert hummus. I went straight to the website and am considering buying a sample pack. What a clever idea to make a sweet dip with a chickpea base! I also love that you were sent tasting recommendations.

I’ve never tried sweet pea leaves, but I totally agree that it’s fun to discover new veggies. The salad you put together looks awesome – there is no better combo than berries, goat cheese, and pecans. Perfect!

Your dinner also looks yummy. John actually does like both eggplant and zucchini, so I’ll add this recipe to me list.

Then the brownies! Yum, yum… these look soooo good. Also going on my list of recipe to make!

All your food looks great! Especially the brownies.
I tried pea shoots a few months ago. I liked them okay – the strings got to me a bit.
