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!

Other Chicago fun

In addition to all the running, we also enjoyed some other fun while we were in the Windy City.  Some of my favorites included:

  • Impressive dinosaur bones at the Field Museum
  • Lunch at the Chicago Green City Market


    A crepe with Swiss chard, tomato and delicious local cheese


    Apple cider donuts!

  • The pre-race pasta party

    My Eastern North Carolina Team in Training buds!

  • An evening walk along the river with Dan the night before the race


  • Deep dish pizza the day after the marathon, with absolutely no concern about the calories!  (Sadly, I was too busy eating, and didn’t take any photos.)

I’m already pondering my next running trek.  Right now, I’m feeling the pull of the Austin Half Marathon on Valentine’s Day.  Any sweethearts out there want to run 13.1 on 2.14 in the lovely, weird city of Austin?
