A lot has changed since I posted my last book review. It’s suddenly fall here in Cincinnati, NFL season has started, and I’ve completed two of my fall virtual races. And I’ve read a few books and listened to a few audiobooks. It’s a good mix of modern day novels, a thriller, and book written…
Ever since my cookbook shopping spree, I’ve continued to cook new and fun recipes. I’ve recorded four new summer recipes that I can highly recommended!
Since basically all in-person races in 2020 have been cancelled, I’ve resolved to a bunch of fall virtual races. It’s good to have something to work toward, other than post-run donuts! Although they were definitely a motivating factor last weekend.
I had great ambition to read several of these books last month. I only made it through one of these, but did finish four audiobooks!

When I mentioned I needed some mindless fluffy reads, I had no idea how much more emotionally exhausting 2020 could get. My heart breaks for everything that my home state of Minnesota and the entire country is going through. In the same breath, I think it sometimes has to get worse before it gets better.
I sent a snapchat of all my recent cookbook purchases to a friend of mine and she made the TP joke. I laughed because it’s true! I got all these new cookbooks in the mail within a week of each other. I had some of them in my Amazon cart for awhile and finally just…
