Fall Half Marathon Training: Week 7

Image
Guys! We’re getting so close to the big day! I did my final long run this morning and then (hopefully) it’s smooth sailing to race day. I’m traveling for work next week, so I’m planning a couple of short runs/workouts while I’m away. Next weekend, I’ll probably do a medium-length run with a couple of short runs during the week and then race day is Sunday. Holy cow. It’s coming up fast, and I really can’t decide whether or not I feel ready for it. There are times that I feel pretty confident about running a good race, but then there are runs that I feel absolutely terrible on. It’s like my body does a 180 from one run to the next. Ugh. I just hope that I have a good day on race day! Wearing: Brooks Women’s Dash Hoodie  // Brooks Women’s Chaser Pants // Brooks Women’s Launch 3 The Dash Hoodie is my new favorite hoodie. I wear it ALL THE TIME, and I always receive compliments when I do! It’s super soft with a flattering fit, a...

Cauliflower Piccata

Image
For this piccata recipe, roasted cauliflower steaks are cooked in a delicious sauce of butter, wine, parsley, lemons and capers. To me, the pairing of bright lemon and briny capers is almost magical; spooning it over tender cauliflower finished with a generous serving of parsley is an easy way to maximize vegetable intake. This cauliflower piccata is a vegetarian showstopper, a beautiful main dish perfect for holidays yet easy enough to enjoy for weeknight dinners. To create cauliflower “steaks,” remove the outer leaves and the bottom portion of the stem. Then slice the cauliflower into 1-inch-thick slabs. Depending on the size of your cauliflower, you may have only three to four steaks per head. For a main dish, serve the cauliflower steaks with egg noodles or roasted potatoes — and extra piccata sauce. Cauliflower Piccata Yield: 2 servings 1 head cauliflower 2 teaspoons olive oil 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 small sh...
