Broccoli Cheese Soup

Not your mama's broccoli cheese soup....


More like a broccoli lover's soup! I LOVE the bright green color.

I followed this recipe. It's not vegan, but it's very delicious! I can't remember the last time I bought cheese to cook with, so I think I'm doing well at lessening my impact on the environment, my body, and animals. Sometimes cheese is just delicious.... especially when paired with broccoli!


Served with a slice of Ezekiel bread. It's so good, and eating something this vibrant makes you feel good.

Nutrition facts:


Not bad for a cheesy soup. I got 5 servings out of this recipe.. I can't wait for lunch tomorrow!

And for dessert....


Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies! Only one, though..  for now ;) They are very good; I definitely recommend them. Dillon and I had fun baking last night!

On the marathon front I'm doing well - feeling confident and excited! Today was a cross train day, and Dillon and I went on an hour long walk in the snow. It was a nice change; Plus we went out to breakfast at Dunn Brothers, which was awesome. I love coffee and a muffin in the morning!

Dillon and I plan on relaxing for the rest of the evening, which sounds great to me! I hope you enjoyed your weekend!

Here We Go!

No, I'm not talking about Bud Light. Ick.

A year or 2 ago I wouldn't ever imagine I would be doing this...


I think I may be crazy - 26.2 miles is a long way!

But I can do it because I'm a strong, determined woman. Plus, I have a plan.


Thanks, Hal Higdon, for your knowledge about how to get me through this challenge.

I've also been hanging out on No Meat Athlete for some great advice. It's such an awesome site; I can't believe I haven't checked it out more in depth sooner. I even have one of their shirts!

I'm excited to document most of my journey to 26.2 here. Should be fun :)

I'm off to get a foam roller. See you later!
