Pumpkin Pancake Sunday! Yesterday I tried a twist on my 8 Grain Strawberry Pancake recipe from “Eat and Run” page 79. Instead of strawberries I subbed 1 cup of freshly roasted pumpkin (my last squash from the fall farmers market), added 3/4 cup of flour, and for the non dairy milk I used one of my holiday favorites, So Delicious Coconut Nog. I also blended the batter in a Vitamix to purée the pumpkin. When the nog is out of season, one teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice with any non dairy milk will work nicely.

Ever been on a run and craved something savory like…pizza?!? I’ve been working on this project for the past year and a half and am super stoked to see clifbarcompany Organic Energy Food released! Simple, portable, vegan, easy to digest fuel made with organic foods and based on some of my home recipes. Savory flavors include Sweet Potato Sea Salt and Pizza Margherita with fruit flavors Banana Mango Coconut and Banana Beet Ginger. Available in stores near you next month! Last weekend it won a Gear Junkie award at the Outdoor Retailer Show. What did you eat on the run this weekend?

The cold and snowy weather that started our winter have been a constant reminder of my Minnesota roots. Missing those subzero temps with all the rain and warmth we’ve been having lately.

Nice to have Timothy Olson in town! The first time I ran with him was a 12 miler in Ashland, OR in ‘08 which was his longest run ever. It’s amazing to see where he’s taken it since then!
