Last night was a lot of fun.
Really how can you go wrong with good wine, good food, and great people?
Today I used my runmeter again and ran another 5 mile loop.
Then I decided to take Pepsi to a local park that has an extensive trail system.
It is also very dog friendly!
I am not sure why I don’t take her here more. It is only about a 5 minute drive from our house and she loves it!
Today I kept an extra eye on her because these signs were posted everywhere:
Scary!
This is what I call her “puppy bear” pose:
After our outdoor adventures, we ventured to Trader Joe’s. Not a good idea on Super Bowl Sunday when everyone is picking up snacks for their parties. Actually, any Sunday at TJ’s is a mess. I wish we had some other stores in this town! We don’t have Whole Foods, Sprouts, or anything! Grrrrrrr…….
Anyway, I picked up a new item to try:
So far I have not tried it but I did use it in my vegan energy bars instead of normal almond butter.
I doubled the recipe and made half of the bars in a cupcake tin. I have finally tried the reusable cupcake liners my sis bought me a long while back-thanks sis!:
They are cooking now as I type and boy does the house smell divine!
Hope you are all having a lovely Sunday.
Thanks for reading and enjoy the Super Bowl if you are watching!
i don’t bake enough to need them, but the cupcake liners are a great idea!
You are spot on, you can’t go wrong with those three things. You live in such a beautiful area!
Have you been to the new Fresh and Easy by the college? Not quite like Trader Joes but better than the usual stores. I like the picture by the way!
oh nature trails to take puppy bear 5 minutes from home??? PERFECT-O
We have a nature reserve 20 minutes away. it’s NOT stroller friendly so soon we will start going again. Maybe with mountain bikes. I LOVE OUTDOORS.
another 5 mile loop???? I didn’t get my run in today. our massages kinda got in the way…OH WELL
I had 2 great runs this week. Sounds like you had a fun outing with friends.
Have a great week ahead!
xo
It sounds to me like you needed some R and R……If I had had to choose between a run or massage yesterday-I definitley would have chosen massage!
What a beautiful park! Are you in Ventura, California? I am not too far down from you (Westwood).
TJ’s is a crazy, crazy place. The parking lot is especially a nightmare!
Yes! We are not too far from eachother……
Love the idea of putting granola bars in muffin cups. So cute and convenient!!
And I would have been freaking out over the mountain lion sign, for sure! Ah! I’m used to seeing warning signs for black bears around here, but never mountain lions. Scary!!
I love TJ’s! I never come out of there empty handed. I would be so scared to see a mountain lion. I lived in Alaska for a few years and saw bears and moose!
wow I think Alaska would be scary to live….I always think of grizzley bears!
YUM!! thsoe muffins look SO good! I love the TJ’s valencia peanut butter so I can only imagine what the AB taste like!
so scary about the mountain lions
be careful out there!
great pic of you and your friends, there is nothing better!!
I like your cupcake/muffin cups… very cool
Wow that trail looks awesome – scary about the mountain lion though!
ooooh and those muffins….YUM!!!
