Lucky Charm
 It’s a custom to eat black-eyed peas to ensure a prosperous new year. Because we all need some luck in the new year, I will be making this dip for tonight’s festivities.

20 great things from 2010
With the new year quickly approaching, I was inspired by thecooknook’s post. Composing my list of 20 great things from 2010 was a fun way to reflect back on 2010. Although the years go by so fast, it makes you realize how much you can achieve in 12 months. In no special order, here are my 20. 1. Ran my 2nd half marathon from Napa to Sonoma.(to raise money for CCFA) 2. Decreased my finish...

Holiday Detox
Because I have ate and drank more beer, wine, cookies, pie, meat, pasta, beer, and anything else that I came across this holiday weekend and the most exercise I have gotten was walking to the bar or walking to the fridge, I declare today “detox day”.   I went for a nice long run and made Cook’s Illustrated’s Hearty Minestrone Soup.  The soup is full of vegetables and I felt...

Bangs
Last Wednesday I was feeling a little daring and let my stylist/friend give me bangs.  Ever since then my boyfriend hasn’t stopped call me “bangs”.  Anyhow, I am rocking them and I am loving the look.  It has been a long time since I have had bangs, not as long as this picture, but I am loving how crooked the are.  My mom most likely cut these bangs herself.

What you do when it is 10 degrees out.
Hi, I am from Minnesota.  In Minnesota we watch parades in freeze your ass off weather.   I have lived here for 15 years and I have never gone to the Holidazzle parade. I am glad I experienced it, even though I couldn’t feel my toes. Here are a few pictures from the night.

Hell's Kitchen
Just got back from an awesome brunch date with the girls. We went to the downtown hot spot, Hells Kitchen.  The bloodies were perfect and full of heat.  I had the server’s recommendation, corned beef hash. To die for.

Blizzard of 2010
MN nice was in full effect yesterday. There were people everywhere armed with shovels or strength, just waiting to help the next victim (car) out of the snow. Some parts of the state got up to 20 inches. City buses and the airport closed down.  The city came to a stand still.  Most businesses on our street shut their doors for the night. Don’t worry though, we found the one open bar...
