Three Things Thursday
1. Tuesday night Chris and I experimented in the kitchen and made Lentil Almond Burgers. It was extremely messy and lentils flew all over the place! I also realized my mini food processor is too small to make the whole batch of burgers at once, so we had to process the vegetables first, followed by the lentils. We then had to mix each together in a big bowl and then form them into patties (we made six total–leftovers!) They still came out pretty good! They had really good flavor, but were a bit crumbly. Nothing ketchup can’t solve! Any tips on how to get them to be more moist? Tuesday’s…

Florida Beer and Lots of Chocolate
Today was a good day! This afternoon my parents and I drove to Melbourne (where I ran the 8K on Saturday) to check out the Florida Beer Company. They have a tasting room, and not much else! You can see where they make the beer but they do not have any tours. They had a lot of beer to taste! I tried.. Hurricane Reef Raspberry Wheat Hurricane Reef Pale Ale Florida Beer Swamp Ape IPA Irish Kelly’s Raspberry Cider The cider was my favorite, of course, because it was sweet. All of them were pretty decent, except the Swamp Ale. It was SO strong, I don’t think I could ever…

Five Running Gadgets I Can’t Live Without
Everyone serious about running, or any other sport for that matter, has a couple of items they absolutely cannot do without! These are my top five: 1. My iPod. I’ve been running with my three year old iPod since I started running 2+ years ago, and lately it’s been getting wonky on my longer runs (running over an hour), so I recently purchased an iPod shuffle! It’s been great (besides the fact that it wasn’t compatible with my four year old Macbook, but that’s a complaint for another time). Fortunately I got it synced up to my parents’ laptop that has Windows 7 and it works perfectly. I wore it…

Cranberry Walnut Quinoa
Holy crap, I’ve actually got a recipe for you today! I think I’ve talked about this on my blog in the past, but I can’t remember if I’ve ever typed up the recipe. Quinoa is a grain similar to rice, and has many nutritional benefits. I made it a lot in the beginning of the summer, and finally I’ve gotten the quinoa bug again! It’s my favorite. Cranberry Walnut Quinoa, adapted from the food network recipe Ingredients 2 cups of all-natural vegetable broth 1 cup of organic quinoa (I use bob’s red mill) 2 tbsp of olive oil sprinkle of salad seasoning sprinkle of garlic powder sprinkle of rosemary 1/4…

Sunshine Run
Well, I figured I might as well start writing up blog posts since everything I lost on my old blog is gone, except the pages. So I’m going to write about my run today. I got a new pair of running shoes on Saturday from Fleet Feet and today I ran in them for the first time. They are New Balance WR760s. My feet adjusted to them pretty well during my run and I had no pain. I even taped up my blisters from my hike yesterday and they were fine! I ran just about four miles in 38 minutes. There were SO many other runners out on the trail…
