This Weeks Eats 1.3.16

First menu plan for the year!  And it's comin' to ya from the new blog.  One of my goals for this year is to simplify, and it's probably not a huge surprise that I'm starting to consolidate things onto this site.  One might argue that it would be simpler just to do away with weekly menu posts, but they are my favorite.  I love to read others, I like to look back at my own, and it's a handy thing to have all my recipes for the week in one space.  Can't stop, won't stop!  

This week, I'm glad to be getting back into the routine, even though we had a lovely holiday break.  

  
This cartoon that I keep seeing all over the internet, from Hurrah For Gin (who I am NOW FOLLOWING), pretty much sums everything up.  Although I'm not necessarily feeling fat, so that's a good thing.  Especially since we have Lou Malnatis pizzas and Portillos hot dogs to eat in the coming weeks!  The pizzas are gifted to us every year from my mom, and this year we got the hot dogs from my mother in law.  So, yeah, they're BOTH goin' on the menu this week.  



As always, I'm linking up with Org Junkie, Mommy Run Fast and Jill Conyers - be sure to check out all the great weekly menus!

Hot Chocolate 15K/5K Seattle 2016 Coupon Code!

Registrations are ramping up for Seattle Hot Chocolate 15K/5K, so I thought I'd share the deets here. (And also because I'm having some hiccups merging up the two blogs...)  

Here's this season's Hot Chocolate 5K/15K Seattle freebie! 


Use code: SEABUFF2 for a free buff when you register for the Seattle 15K OR 5K.
  • The race is Sunday, March 6th 2016 - perfect time of year for some hot chocolate.
  • The swag is always awesome, and this year is no exception:
    Full zip, fleece lined tech jackets!
  • And again, there will be medals for the 15K - super cool, city-specific bling.
  • The folks at RAM Racing put a lot of thought, time and effort into choosing the hot cocoa and fondue - trust me.  And it is goooooood.  
  • They have an option this year to have your packet sent to your HOME!  This is really great, since it can be a bit of a bear to head to the Seattle Center twice in one weekend for most people.
  • And they have added NUUN as the on course hydration!  This makes me super happy.
yesssss.
Hopefully I've tempted you to join in the fun and get yer free buff!  If not, here are my recaps from Seattle Seattle AND Chicago.  I can attest to the fact that the race in each of these cities is so fun and really well organized.  If you want to run in any of these other cities:
