Back to Routine. (and a few "lost" recipes...)

My last post on this blog was July 2nd.  I haven't given up on this endeavor... just went on a hiatus.  Those who know me can understand why there hasn't been a post since.  I've been told by a few people that the life I live now is my "new normal."  I don't exactly know what that means yet...but I do know it's been hell trying to get back to/create a new routine.  In the last five weeks, I've only gone grocery shopping twice (three times if you count the time I accompanied my boyfriend).

Besides the obvious, SO MUCH has happened since that last post.  I guess it's only fair that I catch you up on the things most relevant to this blog.

• My mother is a dot com.  Yes!  The chef/author extraordinaire of the cookbook finally has her own website.  You can visit and take a look at her fabulous photos and if you're itching to get a copy of her cookbook - you can do so there.  Visit her at http://www.margaretboyswolf.com
• I'm training for a half marathon.  Wait.  WHAT?!?  Yes.  I'm thinking exercise will be a good stress reducer slash endorphin producer and that will be grand.  It's the Rock 'n Roll Half Marathon on December 5 in LAS VEGAS!   Granted, I'm just two weeks into training...and only running 2 miles at a time...but it will increase slowly and I'm excited about it.  (this isn't exactly relevant to the blog...but I have to hold myself accountable and this seems as good of place as any)

Here are a couple recipes that I made, but never blogged about...

Recipe #5 - Greek Orzo Salad with Shrimp

Recipe #6 - Chinese Chicken Salad (no photo...oops)

and Raspberry Vodka!

The Raspberry Vodka was one of the best infusions yet.  Sweet, tangy, RED and DELICIOUS.  And it was gone in one night.  :(  Oh well... there WILL be a next time.

I think I'll go grocery shopping tonight and plan a few recipes...so don't give up on this blog yet.  There's much more to come.
