Whole 30 Sweet Potato Pancakes

I realized I totally forgot to show you all the loot from Cabot Cheese and King Arthur Flour in yesterday’s post! Veronica – that Sift magazine is glorious – as soon as I am done with it I’ll have to get your address and send it to you – you bake more than anyone else I know and I know how much you love King...

Whole 30 Breakfast Sausage

Whole 30 Breakfast Sausage
After doing strength for the last couple days, I woke up a bit sore yesterday morning.  So I turned to my DVR and did 30 minutes of Classical Stretch and I felt AMAZING when I was done.  I sometimes wake up with shoulder pain and after that 30 minutes of stretching, it was completely gone.  The woman who does the shoe kind of annoys me...

Whole 30 Meatballs

Whole 30 Meatballs
You better believe I had leftover steak for breakfast yesterday.  I also had leftover mushrooms from the night before AND 1/2 a cup of potatoes leftover, so that leftover made a – hash.  I nuked 1/2 a cup of egg whites with spinach an a ramekin, and fruit on the side. I’ve actually had stuff to do at work which is refreshing!  Before I knew...

Day 1 in the Books

Day 1 in the Books
I am loving the comments on Instagram and the blog about the Whole 30.  The opinion is all over the map – some said that the restriction of certain food groups triggered weird mind games about food – others who normally didn’t crave anything until they couldn’t have it obsessed about what was lacking in their diet.  I am choosing to look at it in...

Jacob worked a lot this weekend so it was nice to have time to spend with Hannah because she was off all weekend.  It’s funny because going into the weekend we were both like “lets get a pedicure!”  But once we got up and started doing stuff on Saturday, we completely forgot.  Of course, we had to go thrifting.  Duh. I did not end up...

I Ran!

I Ran!
There seems to be some sort of construction on at least one road on the way to my office.  Earlier this week it took me 20 minutes to get through one intersection and it drove me crazy.  The guy directing traffic had no idea what he was doing – he was directing traffic regardless of the light signals, and when it came time for our...

I had a taste for oatmeal yesterday and saw this recipe on Pinterest for a cinnamon roll oatmeal and I was sold.  The only thing I did differently was reduce the amount of powdered sugar to a teaspoon and I added sautéed apples.  My picture looked like crap, so I borrowed the picture from the blog.  It was really really good.  But I can only...

Skinny Alfredo Sauce

I actually got up a bit early to squeeze a walk in before work yesterday, it’s been so long since I’ve done that.  The weather was overcast, but around 57 degrees – perfect!  And it was so calm – see how still the channel to the river is? I may have also jammed to Pitbull on the way to work – something about that song...

Zucchini Gratin for One

Zucchini Gratin for One
I finally tried my PBFit that I got from Sam’s Club a few weeks ago.  I tend to like my peanut butter on the smoother side, so I did 2 tablespoons of the powder with 2 tablespoons of water.  I smeared them on top of sliced bananas, and topped with my pumpkin granola and had an egg white “omelet” on the side with some of...

Getting Back on Track and Progress!

Getting Back on Track and Progress!
I had such a great weekend.  It started by having pizza and beers with my former co-worker – I am the QUEEN of not staying in touch with people I’ve worked with in the past, but I am happy to have a few in my life for the long haul. While my friends husband and their oldest daughter had a Daddy/Daughter dance, I hung out...
