You guys, my fresh corn salad for lunch was So.Good. I’m wondering if my fig fetish will be replaced by a sweet corn fetish this summer!? Who am I kidding, there’s room for both!

Per my Hal Higdon half marathon training schedule (with my modification for this week) I ran five miles after work today. It was hot, it was sunny, it was great I was thinking more about my schedule for this week and I decided that just because it says I should run a certain mileage a day, doesn’t mean that I can’t run more than that, if I’m able. I don’t want to fall back on my fitness level just because the schedule says so. With that said, I’ve modified my schedule thusly:

• Monday: 5 mile run
• Tuesday: 4.25 miles
• Wednesday: 10×400 5K pace
• Thursday: 4.25 mile run + strength
• Friday: 3 mile run
• Saturday: rest
• Sunday: strength

Should be a great week!

For dinner tonight, I made something I’ve been thinking about ever since it was suggested by reader Allison after my post on Buffalo Chicken Tenders. She said:

Don’t you love Franks Buffalo??? I’m a die hard Franks Original fan, but the Buffalo is great on chicken – or for dipping grill cheese!

Ummmm, grilled cheese dipped in buffalo sauce?! Yes please! Ooo I was so excited… I lightly buttered two slices of bread, sprinkled them with garlic powder and placed a slice of colby jack cheese on one side. On top of the cheese I placed thin slices of fresh, vine-ripened tomatoes. These were the most perfect, red, beautiful, luscious tomatoes ever. Beautiful!

Then I threw this puppy in a skillet and pressed. Every good grilled cheese needs a good squeeze…it just does. So I got the sandwich nice and brown and crusty on both sides and then cut it in half and served with Allison’s recommendation – Franks Buffalo Sauce. Ummm, this was one of the best sandwiches EVER!! You all need to try this! I absolutely loved the combo of the cheese, garlic powder, fresh tomato and the buffalo sauce – it had the absolute perfect amount of spice for me!

I served this baby with my favorite sweet potato fries – Ah-mazing!

Thank you Allison for such a fabulous recommendation – it did not disappoint!
