Nothing Creative to Write Here.

First, a little housekeeping:

Gina, the Fitnessista, is doing a great giveaway!  You should check it out!!

Next on the agenda…food, glorious food!

Here is a collage of eats from the past few days:

Breakfasts:

Amazing cranberry apple butter oats from yesterday with a few tweaks:

• 1/2 cup oats
• 1/2 cup almond milk
• 1/2 cup water
• pinch of sea salt
• dash of vanilla extract
• craisins (phenom.)
• mashed banana
• cranberry apple butter
• topped with almond butter

Mastered.  Perfection!

I believe this was a yogurt bowl with vanilla chobani, pumpkin flax granola, H2H and PB Puffins.

Truth be told, I have no idea what this mix was.  It was some oats, raisins, probably more of the usual suspects and then topped with unsweetened applesauce.

This was a tasty bowl that began the cranberry apple butter revolution. 

• 1/3 cup oatbran
• 1/3 cup almond milk
• 1/3 cup water
• pumpkin pie spice
• vanilla
• mashed banana

Topped with plain Chobani and cranberry apple butter

A simple bowl of PB puffins and almond milk.

Lunches:

…have included a LOT of this:

SOUP!  I’m obsessed this fall.  This is my homemade pasta e fagioli from the other night.  Delish.

Vegan black bean soup from TJ’s.  DELISH!

Side of grapefruit.

Hummus and veggies in a whole wheat pita

with an apple

and some pretzels.

Dinners:

I only have two photographed.  I was eating out a lot while Hubbers was away.

Spinach, chicken, mushroom quesadillas were on the menu last night.  I LOVE these.  You can find the recipe here.  I saw them on “Healthy Appetite” with Ellie Krieger on FoodNetwork a year or so ago and have made them several times.  They never disappoint.

I also had Panera the other night after picking Hubbers up from the airport.  I had a classic cafe salad and garden vegetable soup with whole grain baguette on the side.

 This weekend, I had a “Colossal” Honey crisp apple.  It took me a good 15 minutes to eat.  Dang.

I went to a beautiful baby shower and was proud of my gift wrapping skills.I bought new shoes.

I went to TJ’s and found some new (to me at least) products: 

 

Had to try that one right away.  The verdict?  Out of this world!!

We all know how this one turned out!

Delicioso!    

I’m back on the bandwagon!  I went to a hot yoga class on Monday.  It rocked my socks (or lack thereof) off!  I sweat like a beast and definitely felt it the next day.  I can’t wait to go back!

I ran a 5K on the treadmill on Tuesday:  27:30.

I ran 2.0 miles Wednesday:  18:30.

I am really missing the Nike+.  I need a new one ASAP!!

Make it a great Thursday!  The weekend’s almost here!
