ethiopian collards and mini-injeras


I made these slightly spicy, ginger-infused greens with collards from my CSA share. Want the recipe? It's posted on the GirlyGirlArmy blog. (And don't forget to sign up for the fab newsletter!)

And here are some not-flattering-but-milestone pix of me during my first half marathon!

Nervously stretching before the race


I look pretty happy for someone who's committed to running 13.1 miles. And I was happy--it was a gorgeous day and I ran at a decent clip, even though I didn't train.


Finish line, sweet finish line!
