To take advantage of my non rush kind of morning, I grabbed my coffee and Pepsi and I headed out to the dog park.

I guess since it was before 8am the dog park was not very dog-like.

Oh well Pepsi still enjoyed smelling every single blade of grass

We continued our walk through the neighborhood.

Once home I was happy to sit down and eat my oats in a jar.  I make oat groats in the crock pot last night so they would be ready this morning.  I added in a bit of Almond Extract.  I loved it!  It made the oats taste a bit like biscotti.

I am off to drink some tea and do a few house chores.

And then run.

And then get a facial.

Have a good day!

Sara and John had a BBQ at their home.  They made delicious, good, healthy food. It is so nice to “go out” to dinner and know that what you are eating is good for you and won’t make you feel “heavy”  the next day

What a great night!

Thanks Sara and John for having us.

Hope you are able to enjoy your weekend with some good healthy food!

Today I am headed to the dog park to meet up with Bill.  It sounds like a fun relaxing day to me

What are you doing?

This week has been LONG.

What is even better is that it is the last Friday of the school year

Next Friday I will be basking in all my summer glory-YAY

Last night we had a funny throw it together kind of meal.  We are really out of groceries and with not much left in the pantry, we created this:

What is this you ask?

First some pasta:

Then this:

I am not a big frozen food fan, but this was good!  Tasted quite homemade.

Do you like certain frozen foods?  Which ones?

Before I say goodbye for today I wanted to share a few fun pics of Pepsi.

Yesterday when I worked out with Khrystle and Sarah in the park-Pepsi ran around and got in a workout too.

This is her “I am tired from a work out” face:

Hope you have a great day planned!

Anything fun going on for the weekend?

Don’t forget your smoothie today

We copied Monday’s eats by layering steamed spinach, barley, and topping with fish.

But this time we topped with Halibut instead of salmon:

YUM!

Then we took Pepsi to the dog park.

Love our view from there:

Pepsi ran around acting like a much younger version of herself:

Love this pic of Bill and Pepsi:

If you have a dog, do you have a favorite dog park?
