I'M IN THE SUB-20 CLUB! I've had this 5k on my schedule for a month. I hadn't ran a 5k race since the Turkey Trot! I wasn't expecting to do great - the amount of speed I have done since track ended on May 31? ZERO. I've also wayyy cut back on my mileage, going from running 6 days a … [Read more...] about Scenic Shores 5k (19:25)
Recipe ReDux: Rustic Blueberry Lavender Tart
Leave it to me to finish my Recipe Redux recipe the day before I have to post it ;) I didn't know if I would be able to participate this month, now that I'm living at my grandparent's house - will I be able to bake?? Luckily I don't think I'll have a problem. Granted, I probably won't be … [Read more...] about Recipe ReDux: Rustic Blueberry Lavender Tart
Introducing: The Yooper Girl
Hey guys! I'm just popping in today to let you guys know I've changed the blog's name from Minougirl to The Yooper Girl. I feel like The Yooper Girl is more of a reflection of who I am and that it will serve me better in the future, whatever that brings. I've been considering this for a long time … [Read more...] about Introducing: The Yooper Girl

Well, I am now living at my grandma and grandpa's house! Mom and I had to be out of our house yesterday and can't get into the new house until August 1st (but hopefully sooner!). Since it's WIAW, today I'm sharing my first full days of eats, all at Grandma and Grandpa's … [Read more...] about To Grandmother’s House We Go
Single Serve Blueberry Banana Oatmeal Bake
I am possibly one of the worst food bloggers ever. I made this back in April. It's, like, the middle of June. Why do I wait so long to post recipes?! This isn't even the worst. I have another recipe I made in March I still haven't posted! I do it because I hear you're … [Read more...] about Single Serve Blueberry Banana Oatmeal Bake
Pumpernickel Rye Bread and Planting the Garden!
I feel like I'm supposed to be posting Fashion Friday today... but I haven't gotten out of my pajamas in two days! I'm not too sure how often Fashion Friday will be happening in the summer.

Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread
First weekend of summer = success! I went for my first run in a week (omg so hot outside) and got in a few ten mile bike rides too. I also baked...a lot. Confession: I have seven recipes in my drafts right now that I haven't posted yet. Seven, people! I'm doing all I can do to restrain … [Read more...] about Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread
Crustless Asparagus Quiche with Spinach and Mushrooms
Quiche? Frittata? What's the difference? I did some research, and I think this right here is a quiche. A quiche is a mixture of milk and eggs and is baked to custard like consistency. A frittata is started on the stovetop and finished in the oven - not this! Most of the quiches I've tried … [Read more...] about Crustless Asparagus Quiche with Spinach and Mushrooms
Fashion Friday {Last Week of School}
I'm officially a sophomore! Am I really, though? I haven't technically started as one, but I'm not a freshman anymore either. Sigh. I can't believe freshman year is over already. It was so incredibly fast. I feel like I was just boarding the bus for the first day of high school! Thankfully I got a … [Read more...] about Fashion Friday {Last Week of School}
WIAW – Food Freedom
You know something that's really, really awesome? I finally feel at peace with food. I'm not worrying about when or what I'm going to eat. I can go to parties and restaurants without stressing over what there will be to eat. I look forward to eating meals, but I don't obsess over them for … [Read more...] about WIAW – Food Freedom
