So, since it has been over a month since my last post, I thought I would do a recap of meals/events/treats that I haven't been able to share with you guys!
October is the month of birthday's for my family. My mom, dad, cousins, aunt, uncle, and Cort all have October birthday's so I was more than happy to go home and celebrate. We had a big party for everyone, which included plenty of sweets. My aunt brought a delicious cake from the Pennsylvania Bakery, and I baked some apple crisp that I have been craving since the beginning of fall.
I was also able to spend some time with my little bug!
Is she not the cutest thing you've ever seen? Wiener dogs are the greatest.
Some other meals I made included cashew butter oat pancakes with an egg and fresh berries on top. These were to die for, and they stuck with me all morning. Cashew butter is a great type of nut butter to use because the flavor isn't too strong but it still makes the pancakes really creamy and delicious.
Today was a pretty productive day. I've had the same pair of mizuno's since I ran my half marathon on my 17th Birthday. That makes them over 3 years old and believe me you could tell, they were literally falling apart. I have a weird connection to my sneakers though so I always wait as long as possible to get a new pair. So, today I finally gave in and got the new wave rider mizuno's I've had my eye on for a while. I broke them in on a 6 mile run... the weather was gorgeous and my new shoes felt like clouds on my feet!
When I got back Cort and I went grocery shopping for some hamburger meat for him. He made himself two burgers with mushrooms and cooper sharp cheese on a whole wheat english muffin with a side of broccoli and roasted tomatoes. It looked so professional I had to share! Guys can eat healthy too!
I thought I would end this post with a simple recipe. I made this smoothie last night and it was BANGIN'. The best part, only 4 ingredients.
Banana Peach Smoothie
- 1 frozen banana
-A handful of frozen peach slices (you can buy bags of these at wegman's)
-2 tbsp of lowfat vanilla yogurt
-1 splash of coconut milk (or almond or regular milk)
Blend until thick and creamy and enjoy with a spoon!
