Good afternoon! Today started out with this delightful green protein smoothie: Perhaps not the most beautiful shake ever, but it was tasty none the less. I threw frozen pineapple, frozen strawberries, oats, flax seeds, vanilla protein powder, spinach and a little water in the blender and done! My first breakfast of the day! My 2ndContinue reading “Veggie and Cheese Frittata”

Tropical Coconut Cheesecake
Good evening! It is another gorgeous day here in MI and I am enjoying it while I type up this post on my balcony. I had planned to go running after work, but I am just not acclimated to the heat yet, so decided to wait until a little later in hopes that it willContinue reading “Tropical Coconut Cheesecake”

Sweet and Sour Chicken Recipe
We had this last week and it tasted legit like Chinese restaurant style sweet and sour chicken. I used to really like sweet and sour chicken when I was a kid, but then started to think that it was too sweet as I got older and I generally prefer spicier Chinese dishes. We had someContinue reading “Sweet and Sour Chicken Recipe”
Parmesan Creamed Corn Recipe
As promised here is the recipe for the deliciously rich Parmesan Creamed Corn we had with grilled steaks for Easter dinner. You could lighten up this recipe by using half and half probably. In fact that’s probably what I’ll do next time I make it, but I had some heavy cream in the fridge soContinue reading “Parmesan Creamed Corn Recipe”
Asparagus and Tomato Carbonara and a Hike through Lincoln Brick Park
Easter Sunday was a tranquil yet busy affair in the Bradow household. After lunch we headed to Lincoln Brick Park in Grand Ledge (about 10 minutes from where we currently live). I’ve only been to this park one other time – about 2 years ago I think – and had forgotten how nice the parkContinue reading “Asparagus and Tomato Carbonara and a Hike through Lincoln Brick Park”
Homemade Clif Bars
So I mentioned that I made homemade Clif bars last night. I used this recipe to start. I also added mini chocolate chips – it was a good thing too as these turned out (just) okay. I like the texture, but the flavor left a little to be desired. I think the next time I makeContinue reading “Homemade Clif Bars”
RunnerBox and a recipe for Italian Sausage Fried Rice
So I thought that Spring was finally here in Michigan since we had some 60+ and 70+ degree days recently…but I woke up this morning to see snow on the cars and grass. Oh well, I suppose the snow and cold won’t stick around for too long, right?!? A couple days ago we received our latestContinue reading “RunnerBox and a recipe for Italian Sausage Fried Rice”
PB Caramel No-Bake Chex Bars and a Real Nice Weekend
Turned out to be a great weekend – not that I had any doubts, but it was a very busy weekend and turned out to be a fun one as well. Friday was a gorgeous day here in the Lansing area and I spent the late morning and all afternoon in East Lansing with my mom,Continue reading “PB Caramel No-Bake Chex Bars and a Real Nice Weekend”
Chocolate PB Shake and Beautiful Morning Run
Well I didn’t sleep in this morning, but I also didn’t get up as early as I had planned and we didn’t make it to the gym. We did however go out for a short run this morning – just 2.9 miles, but it was a gorgeous morning and we got to see the sunriseContinue reading “Chocolate PB Shake and Beautiful Morning Run”
