A Lazy Sunday
Actually, I most of my Sunday was lazy…minus my eight mile run! I woke up yesterday morning and had my Trader Joe’s goods on the brain. Especially the pumpkin butter. I had to have more TJ’s cinnamon raisin bread as well…so breakfast and pre-run fuel was cinnamon raisin toast, slathered with TJ’s almond butter and pumpkin butter, with a banana. I ended up taking the banana off, since for some reason the texture of a banana on toast has been bothering me. Weird? Yes. I can eat the banana alone just fine… After waiting a few hours for my meal to digest, I headed out for an eight mile run. It felt good to…

Recreating the Mixed Grill
Happy Monday everyone. Today, it was back to reality for me, after a much needed, relaxing vacation. Catching up? Here are my posts about my trip to Pittsburgh: Fried Pickles in Pittsburgh Exploring Pittsburgh Trader Joe’s in Pitt Colossal Sandwiches and Carousels Last night I finally had some extra time to spend on making food! I have been craving steel-cut oats, in the worst way! (Check out the post I wrote about the different types of oats!) Thankfully, I had just enough left to make a whole batch! I also added in some oat bran. They came out fab. I’ve been missing the crunch of steel-cut oats! I also mixed…

Fall is Coming??
Did you enter my Chobani giveaway yet?? You have until September 6th at midnight! DO it! — Notice anything different about my blog? I changed the header this morning in honor of the first day of September, and of course, the start of my favorite season, fall. Hope you like it! Although, it doesn’t feel much like fall right now, as the weather has been above 90 for the last few days. I was driving home tonight and summer is still in full force. Even though I’m excited for fall, I’m trying to savor the last bit of summer, because it will be gone so fast! My training continued yesterday,…

Home Made Maple Peanut Butter
Lately I have been obsessed with Strawberry Salads. I go through salad phases. Sometimes I despise them and sometimes I love them. Weird. Lately, I’m loving the strawberry, spinach, and feta with raspberry dressing. My packed lunch. One of my new favorite dressings is Newman’s Own Light Raspberry & Walnut. So tasty. So fresh! Love strawberries. Since today was a “rest/cross training” day, I had some spare time when I got home from work. I wanted to get creative in the kitchen! I’ve had maple peanut butter on my mind. And since I ran out of my favorite kind by Saratoga Peanut Butter, I decided to try to make my…

Eggplant, Spinach and Goat Cheese Flatbread Pizza
TGIF! All day I was thinking about what I was planning to make with this monster. I got this huge eggplant at the farmer’s market yesterday for $1.50. I have never cooked eggplant in my life! I’ve only eaten it out at restaurants or when other people have cooked it for me–never on my own. So I think it was time to give it a try. I wanted to make pizza tonight, so I went with Eggplant, Spinach, and Goat Cheese Flatbread pizza. 🙂 I cut up the eggplant into little triangles, and put them on the flatbread, along with cheese and some baby spinach. Ingredients Eggplant, thinly sliced into…
