Thursday Highlights

Happy Friday Bloggies!

This morning I thought it would be fun to share some of my highlights from yesterday.

First highlight was a glorious run in the morning. I have had a few things on my mind lately and sometimes the only thing that will clear it is a good run.  I felt so much better afterwards.

Next highlight was a really yummy and very green Green Monster to start the day.  This one had almond milk, 1 scoop Vega meal, flax seed, banana, frozen berries, and lots of spinach-YUM!

I just love starting the day with one of those!

Next highlight of the day was this silly face.  I had just given her a treat.  Unfortunately I missed the picture of her eating it because she is sooooo fast when it comes to grabbing those snacks from me.  Not sure any camera could keep up!

I think she wants more.  She looks starving.

After work I headed over to the next highlight of the day:

Yes I got my hair done.   I have to admit it-I have gray hair-it sucks-I am getting old.  I have to go to my favorite girl every six weeks.  She keeps me looking beautiful!  Thanks Rachel : )

And the last highlight of the day was his and her pastas.

Tonight was “make your own pasta” night.  We boiled up a big pot of pasta.  We mixed white and wheat.  And laid out a bunch of toppings.

His:

Hers:

Yes that is hummus on top.  Am I the only one who likes hummus on everything?

I wanted to mention a couple giveaways that are going on around us.

Speaking of giveaways!  I won one!  I never win anything…….Check it out at The Nutritious Foodie. Thanks Gelareh.


Do you have anything fun planned for the weekend?

I hope to do a 5K on Sunday but it is supposed to be pouring rain…..We shall see if I can be as tough as Berni!

Have a great day and thanks for reading : )

Do You Kabocha?

Last night I decided to cook up this lovely Kabocha squash my sis got me:

I baked it in the oven at 350 for about an hour.  The house smelled heavenly.

When it was finished and resting.  I chopped up eggplant, zucchini, peppers, mushrooms and added cherry tomatoes, and sunflower seeds to a roasting dish.

Sprayed them with olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper.

This is my new favorite kitchen device:

I broiled all of it for about 20 minutes.

Mixed the broiled veggies with cut up kabocha squash and brown rice, flax seed, avocado and eggplant hummus:

It was delicious along side this glass of vino:

Tonight I think we will have some pasta.

I am off to pack for the weekend!

Bill and I are headed out-of-town to visit his parents.  His Dad is doing much better but we thought it would be fun to pay them a visit.

Do you have any fun plans for the weekend yet?
