I think I’m getting closer to finding the best fries on the planet . . . really. We’ve been to the Smoking Apple (a local restaurant–sorry to those of you who don’t live in my neck of the woods) a couple of times, and, let me tell ya–the food is excellent. Everything we’ve tried has been delicious, but I think I might have found two of the best french fry flavors . . . EVER!
The Philly cheese steak sandwich ain’t bad either!
The Smoking Apple offers a two-flavor option for the fries: half regular and half sweet potato. Both of them were delicious. The regular fries were crunchy with a soft center and were dipped in a great batter. The sweet potato fries had a brown sugar topping on them that really brought out the flavor of the sweet potatoes. Everything was so tasty (much better than that other place, so if you’re ever in town, check them out!
As always, if you know of any great fries I should try, shoot me a message!
Don’t forget to enter the greeting card giveaway going on now!
I’ve always loved stationery. I have boxes of note cards, and I make almost all the cards I give away. But honestly I’ve never seen or made a card good enough to give to my running friends–until now. I was perusing Etsy before the holidays and came across the wonderful cards from asphalt + me = peace. Isn’t that a great shop name? So true too. I contacted the shop owner, Melissa, and she graciously sent me a bunch of cards to review. I love them all, but here are a few of my favorites:
The inside reads, “Way to go!”The inside reads, “Wake me when it’s spring!”The inside reads, “For the after party! (congratulations!)”
Aren’t they awesome? Not only does this shop have great products–with fantastic photos, high-quality card stock, and cute messages–but the customer service and shipping were awesome!

I’ve been in a running/yoga rut lately. It’s hard for me to stay motivated when I really haven’t wanted to exercise or do anything for that matter because of a ton of stress at work. But this quote reminds me that it’s my choice to work out or not. I’m accountable for my choices. If I don’t exercise, then I won’t receive any benefits of doing so–but if I do, then I can reap the rewards.
So, help me out. What are some things you do to stay motivated?
