About me
Hi! I'm Lindsey.

I do public health work at Duke University, like to run at a slow, but steady pace, teach group fitness classes, and do my best to keep up with my family that's spread across the country. In the midst all of that, playing in the kitchen is one of my favorite stress relievers and creative outlets, so this blog chronicles some of my favorite cooking and baking adventures, but in the process it also tells the story of the rest of my life.

Like many people in the Triangle area, I'm a transplant. After spending the first 21 years of my life in the midwest, I've been settled in North Carolina for seven years. One of the things I love most about the area is the diversity of local farms, farmers' markets, and great food, so I follow lots of local food happenings, but I also keep up with my fair share of Midwestern favorites.

If you like what you find here, feel free to drop me a note and email Yummy things. I'd love to hear from all of you out there!

Fort Collins, CO

After being back from the West coast for a week, I’ve finally returned to Eastern body time and got my schedule back into regular order.  So after a little delay, I’m going to start sharing a little glimpse of our road trip.  I’ll share a full chronicle of photos on Flickr soon.

Our first stop was Fort Collins, Colorado, the home of Dan’s aunt, Mary.

Unfortunately, our visit there included a brief departure to the emergency department after I had some accidental contact with some peanut butter in ice cream.  Luckily the Poudre Valley Health Systems took good care of me, and I never dealt with any anaphylactic shock.

Luckily, Fort Collins also maintains an excellent system of parks and trails.  Thus, a more enjoyable part of the visit to Fort Collins was an 8-mile bike ride from Lee Martinez Park that we took with Mary on the Poudre Trail.

Also, Uncle Steve made us a wonderful meal of tomato-braised chicken.

It was a great start to our road trip.  I definitely hope we get the chance to return to Fort Collins for more exploration.  But from there, we headed on to Grand Junction, CO.
