Tastefully Simple

Okay guys... tonight's post is a bit out of the norm. No recipes, no running. (Although I did rock out a 5-mile tempo run this afternoon. Just sayin'. 12 more days until my half-marathon!)


Have you ever heard of Tastefully Simple? It's a direct sales company that offers delicious, convenient, easy-to-prepare food products. Soups, breads, dressings, dips, they have it all. And it's good.


This Thursday night, I'm having a Tastefully Simple party, where all the party attendees get to sample all the different food items. And of course socialize and hang out. 


We will be trying beer bread.





And spinach-artichoke dip.




And chocolate pound cake.




And what I'm most excited about... bold buffalo bleu cheese dip. Yum.




And of course we are trying about 8 other things as well, those are just what I'm looking forward to the most.

So here's where you come in to play! If you like Tastefully Simple products, I would be so excited if you ordered something. I have tried a lot of their stuff, and has all been fantastic. And super easy to pull together. I love to have soup mixes on hand (especially in the cold winter months) for extremely busy nights. Cheaper and healthier than take-out!


So, if you want to order something, visit www.tastefullysimple.com/web/korchard . Just make sure that you indicate Kristi Orchard as your consultant, and Sara Anderson as the host! You can have your products shipped directly to you. (And no sales tax! Woo hoo.)


And if you don't want anything, no big deal! I'll be back with my regular nonsense later this week. :-)

Hope the party goes really well!!

Hot Off the Press... [Chicken Bacon Bleu Panini]

So I totally forgot to post a panini recipe last Thursday... whoops. I'm sure you were all waiting with bated breath and were very  disappointed. Well, never fear, because I've got a fabulous panini recipe tonight! Tangy bleu cheese and salty bacon come together to form a delectable sandwich. It comes from the panini cookbook I received for Christmas, 200 Best Panini Recipes  (thanks Mom!) . The  Chicken Bacon Bleu panini :   grilled chicken, crisp bacon, and bleu cheese on sourdough with a spread of barbecue sauce and sliced red onion. I had never thought of putting bleu cheese on a panini before I saw this recipe. I feared there wouldn't be enough ooey gooey cheese! But bleu cheese actually melts pretty nicely. It's no Velveeta, but it added a great tang to the sandwich.  First, spread the bottom piece of bread with a bit of barbecue sauce, and top with some grilled chicken. I actually used my panini press to grill my chicken for the first time, and it wa

The Arrival of Something New...

Woo hoo for the last Friday of the school year! And only one more day of school next week. (And then a couple teacher workshops...) Another reason to be excited? Our fridge came today!! Isn't she a beauty? It is so nice to have a fridge again. You don't realize how much you miss a full-size refrigerator until you go a couple weeks without it. A bit bare... but that can be solved easily. Bottom-drawer freezer, containing the essentials: moose tracks & Diet Dew trying to get cold asap. Anyways, I'm just popping in to share my beautiful new appliance. The baking monster has taken over, and I'm in the midst of making 150 cupcakes for a graduation party tomorrow.  First big baking project in the new kitchen! I'm loving all the counter space. Mmm... chocolate buttercream! Making good use of the baking nook! :) Adios!

Boston Marathon, week #3

Last week was a great week for training - lots of easy runs, a V02-max workout, and my first long run that actually felt 'long'.  The goal was to get in 50-55 miles, and I ended up with 56ish, so right on target. Saturday's long run was glorious ! Temps in the 50's in January (!) makes me a very happy runner. I headed out for 16-17 miles and ended up with almost 18. And I remembered to bring fuel!  I tried out the blueberry-pomegranate Gu chomps, and they weren't my favorite. I ate one every 2 miles once I hit the 8-mile mark and they left a strange aftertaste. Pretty much as soon as the aftertaste went away, it would be time to eat one again. I'm thinking I will try something else next time.  This was the week of the 8's... what a monotonous bar graph. I'll try better next week to make it a little more exciting. Weekly Rundown 1.7.2013-1.13.2013 Mon - 8.2 miles easy Tues - 8.3 miles easy Wed - 4x1200m @ 4:29 (4:32, 4:31, 4:31, 4:34);
