I did not get to sleep last night until VERY late. I think I was overtired however, I still forced myself to wake up at a reasonable time. Surprisingly enough, I wasn’t really that sore from yesterday’s work-out.
For BREAKFAST I had some cereal!! I cannot remember the last time I had this combination. Of course, it was still tasty and filling!
TRADER JOE’S TRADER O’S + PUFFED MILLET + ALMOND MILK + SPLENDA + BLUEBERRIES
Yesterday I noticed that I had two very ripe bananas in my fruit basket so rather then freeze them (which I do for my smoothies), I cut them up (or should I say I directed Boyfriend to chop them up) and put them in the dehydrator. By mid-day today, they were done!
BANANA CHIPS
I snacked on these as well as a PEACH and some COCOA ALMONDS while running some errands today.
Found this awesome seasoning for popcorn at Target. It has zero calories, unlike some of the other flavorings, so it could be a nice little addition to some other foods as well.
Who doesn’t love “Buffalo Style”???
Next stop was Marshall’s for who knows what. I never go there for anything specific, but just to see what they have. The rotating stock always surprises me with new things! I picked up some Cold Stone Jelly Bellies for Boyfriend. He LOVES this flavor…so do I!
Also picked up a super cute ice cream dish ($3!!) for my protein fro-yo. I did get one more item, but more on that later…
My last stop today was at the gym too sneak in a little HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) on the elliptical. The elliptical used to be my favorite, but now I much rather run. I find the elliptical boring now.

After the gym I ran home to make yet another PIZZA BURRITO for LUNCH. Unfortunately, this is the end of my pizza burritos for awhile because I used the last of my turkey pepperoni and I’m on a grocery store strike until my packed cabinets are emptied a bit.
LA TORTILLA FACTORY TORTILLAS + HUNT’S TOMATO SAUCE + DAIYA MOZZ. CHEESE + 2 EGG WHITES + 9 SLICES TURKEY PEPPERONI + BASIL + ROSEMARY + OREGANO + S&P + GARLIC POWDER
Boyfriend was out for the night so I had to find something to do to keep me occupied…
Poured some wine…
and got my bake on!
I finally got the chance to attempt one of the HUNDREDS of recipes that I have had bookmarked on my Internet Explorer. I made Super-Charge Me! Cookies from eat, drink, & be vegan. I made a few modification: coconut oil instead of canola, and 1/3 agave instead of maple syrup. I also turned them into “balls” rather then cookies.
SUPER CHARGE ME! COOKIES
VERDICT: They were fab! Even Boyfriend though they were good!! Will definitely have to make more and freeze them for quick, healthy “treats”.
While the cookies were a’bakin, I brought out the doughnut maker and whipped up a quick batch. I wanted to make blueberry doughnuts but the recipes with the makers used jelly and all I had was Boysenberry jelly. So BOYSENBERRY DONUTS it was!!
They baked in like 6 minutes and the maker was a cinch to clean! I was being lazy and didn’t make a glaze for them because I DESTROYED the kitchen.
One day soon I will have a DONUT BAKING FEST and I will do it up right! Bad, sugar filled donuts for Boyfriend, healthy lavender filled donuts for me!!
Once the baking was complete, I made myself a little veggie tray with a new dip creation totally from my own noggin. I basically opened my fridge and cabinets and threw together whatever was left into the Vitamix. Then I threw the pureed mess into a casserole dish and into the oven for 20 min. at 350 degrees.
CAN OF ARTICHOKE HEARTS + ROASTED RED PEPPER + SPINACH + 0% FAGE GREEK YOGURT + FF CREAM CHEESE + 2 TBSP PARMESAN CHEESE + GARLIC POWDER + WORCESTERSHIRE + S&P + CARROTS & CUCUMBERS (FOR DIPPIN)
It turned out pretty good considered the fact that there was barely any cheese in it, and none of the mayo-goodness that I put in my usual dips. Boyfriend gave it the thumbs up because he quickly devoured half of the dip that I had left over.
It’s about that time now…nite!
XOXO
