Focaccia, Cookies, & Pickle Beer!

Last Saturday, LuLu's vegan bakery at the Cooper-Young Farmer's Market was selling three kinds of vegan focaccia! I can't remember all three, but I had a tough choice between the chanterelle focaccia or the smoked squash focaccia. The chanterelles were freshly foraged, so I couldn't resist. This was a perfect treat after my 18-mile trail run in the super-hot summer heat!

LuLu's was also selling their amazing Chocolate Chunk Cookies, made with ethically sourced chocolate. I always love these fat cookies! They're so big!

Later that day, after my run, I cooled off by sitting in our wading pool and sipping this Spicy Pickle Monster Sour beer. I love sour beers in the summer, and this may be my favorite sour of all time. PICKLE EVERYTHING!

Here's a random healthy meal from last week! I had made some cashew mac & cheese with broccoli and had some leftover, so I enjoyed it for lunch one day with a side of chickpeas sauteed with garlic and spinach.

Wow running 18 miles in the summer heat sounds challenging! Glad you have some treats to help you restore and replenish.

I must admit that I am jealous of your determination and will to run like you do! I'm a huge klutz but you do inspire me! The little harpeth river runs through my backyard anyway; I should take advantage of the little run challenge it presents

I may have to draw the line at pickle beer (although if it were offered to me, I might take one curious little sip.) I feel like I should know the answer to this already, but are you training for a race? Congrats on getting that 18 miler done in the heat!

I love pickle anything and I love silly drinks and that would be right up my alley if I drank beer!
