November Link Love

Tuesday is quickly becoming my favorite day of the work week.

Due to relaxing Monday nights, I tend to get to the office bright and early, before 7am! The extra few hours helps me get ahead on email and work before the meetings begin. Lunch hour is spent upstairs in our office gym sweating through 45 minutes of Body Pump while hoping to learn even just one new French word each class. Today I learned épaules (shoulders) during our shoulder and back set. After experiencing my first Swiss manicure and pedicure this evening I’ve spent the past few hours in the kitchen. I am covered in flour doing my best to whip up an anniversary surprise for Bo. If my oven has anything to do with it this will be a 3rd failed attempt. While I’m getting my hands covered in flour and eggs, here are a few of my favorite links for you to enjoy!

Race Recaps I’m Loving

  • Anne ran her first marathon in under 4 hours!!
  • Beth’s NYCM race recap left me in tears

    • Recipes I’m Loving

  • Never Fail Chocolate Chip Cookies from All Recipes
  • Winter Squash & Chicken Stew with Indian Spices inspired this week’s chili though ours used ground chicken
  • Last week I made this butternut squash chili recipe which was easy and made more than enough for me AND our freezer
  • These roasted mushrooms left us both craving more on Sunday night and paired perfectly with our red wine and tenderloin

    • Our Thanksgiving Menu

    We are hosting 11 of our Geneva friends along with one of our best friends from New York, Michael, for Thanksgiving dinner this year. Our dinner will be similar to the United Nations with the countries of Belgium, France, Scotland, Czech Republic, and United States represented at one table! While each person is bringing either wine, appetizer, dessert or side dish to share, Bo and I are excited to spend some time in the kitchen together cooking the turkey and some of our favorite side dishes together. Right now we’re trying to figure out how to make our way too old oven work as the shelf has a horrible tilt which results in uneven cooking!

  • Apple Orange Cranberry Sauce
  • Bon Appetit’s Simple is Best Dressing
  • Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad with Pan Friend Goat Cheese
  • Tom Colicchio’s Herb Butter Turkey

    • Your Turn: I am working on a winter running gift guide which will be published on Friday! What is your favorite piece of winter running gear?

      I am making the winter squash stew tonight! Except with seared tofu because I’m a veggie. Thinking of adding some diced green apples as well because I have a ton from my CSA share. Thanks for posting the recipe!
