About

Hi there, I’m Danae! I’m an Arizona native currently living in Colorado, and loving every minute of it! Welcome to my website Recipe Runner, I’m so happy you’re here! I started this website back in 2012 and it’s all about my two passions, cooking and running.

My love of running started in high school, where I ran cross country and track. I didn’t run in college, but shortly after I got an itch to try running my first half marathon. From that race forward I realized how much I truly loved running and racing. Since then I’ve run more 5ks, 10ks, and half marathons than I can keep track of. I’ve also run five marathons, those I don’t forget.

Running is something I do just for me. I love pushing myself to see how far I can run and fast I can make my body move. When I run I feel happy, strong, and healthy.

Another great thing about running is I have a lot of time to think about things, like food and recipes! When I’m out running is when I come up with some of my best recipe ideas, hence the name Recipe Runner!

When I’m not running or cooking I enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking, taking an annual trip to the beach, strength training, and sitting out in the sun sipping on a glass of rosé, Prosecco, or a margarita.

Whether you’re a runner looking for a balanced meal to fuel your next workout (check out my bowl recipes), someone who’s new to cooking and looking for easy to make recipes, or short on time and need a quick skillet or one pot meal, I’ve got you covered!

Not sure where to start and what recipes to try first? Here are some of my favorites!
