Welcome to Mud Pies and Froggy Tales! My name is Candice. I love to write, play with my food, and photograph it. I post a lot of recipes. They are simple and healthy, and often include local and seasonally appropriate produce. I started blogging two years ago as a creative outlet and to keep a diary of my recipes. Since then my blog has transformed into much more, including stories from my life, poetry, photography, and anything I think is interesting, eclectic, fun, and thought provoking. Mud Pies and Froggy Tales is set on Whidbey Island in Washington State, a short ferry ride and drive from Seattle.
My other passion is long distance trail running. I enjoy the plethora of trails here on Whidbey Island and traveling into the mountains to explore or race. I completed my first ultra marathon in February (a 50K) and my first 50 miler in April 2010, and I'm hooked! Running is not a chore for me, rather it is
pure bliss. When I am not running, you might find me swimming in the lake (summer) or in the pool (year-round). Visit my running blog for more of my athletic adventures:
Run Eat Swim.
Thank you for visiting my website. Please leave a comment, I love to hear from you!
