88 Acres Pumpkin Butter

That green stuff? It's pumpkin seed butter and it is so tasty!  I met the founders of 88 Acres (triathletes!) at the FounderMade conference and they asked me to create a recipe using the pumpkin seen butter.  It is so good that I ate almost the whole jar by the spoonful and realized that it's best to let it be the star ingredient on my pre-workout special:  toast with bananas and honey.

Taiyaki Ice Cream

Looking for a post workout splurge that's really, really worth it?  Taiyaki is a small ice cream shop in Chinatown/Little Italy, NYC which serves homemade soft ice-cream in Japanese fish-shaped waffle cones.  We black sesame/matcha swirl with a red bean paste stuffed fish decorated with mochi!  If you like Asian dessert flavors - put this on your NYC to do list!  (www.taiyakinyc.com)

Adidas Clima Heat Gear

Winter is in full swing here in NYC.  This gear is incredibly warm without adding extra bulk. I love the tights, the insulated running shirt and the jacket is a lined shell- so warm and toasty.  The shoes are the new Supernova Sequence which I wear for my long training runs.

Ice Skating at Brookfield Place

Sunday Funday skating while the sun is setting.  Another reason to love Brookfield Place!  The temporary rink is a great active kid activity.  And there's Sprinkles cupcakes right upstairs...
