This sunrise was totally worth waking up for! It's been super hot lately, so when Wed. morning was a mere 70 degrees, I decided it was the perfect day to roller blade. I just got new wheels & they're super smooth, which makes it that much more fun of a work out. Six miles before 7am with gorgeous skies!
We were at a family picnic last weekend & W spent a lot of time playing horseshoes. I played for about half a game, but aside from some bizarre twist of the luck where I got a ringer, my other throws were pretty bad.
This is W's birthday weekend, so we're at the cabin to relax & celebrate. It's been waaaaay too long since we were up there!
Here's what we've been eating in the last week:
Breakfasts
- Blueberry yogurt with Cinnamon Spiced Granola
- Ashley's Peanut Butter Banana Breakfast Burgers topped with pb - For some reason, as soon as I saw this post, I knew I had to make them right away. They didn't disappoint! Sooooooo perfect for a nutritious & filling breakfast with lots of flavor.
- Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread from the Peas and Thank You Cookbook
- Bananas, blueberries, & wineberries
Lunches
- Sandwiches
- Leftovers
- Kale soup
- Mega salads - lettuce, beet greens, roasted sweet potato, beets, onion, almonds, & peaches dressed with peanut sauce
- Peaches, watermelon & plums
Saturday:

- Oat pretzels with Top with Cinnamon's Healthy 3-ingredient Chocolate Fudge Sauce - This is SO good. I knew we would love it, so I doubled the recipe from the start. We've been putting it on rice cakes, graham crackers, & fruit. And our fingers & spoons...
- (So this wasn't much of a dinner...we both had a big lunch & weren't in the mood for a full-on dinner.)
Treats
- Minimalist Baker's Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream - I used chocolate almond milk & put peanut butter swirl in this instead of the brownies the recipe called for. It turned out super chocolatey. Plus it was quick & easy to make. Yum!
- Brittany's Chia Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies - I could eat these as a dessert or a breakfast. They're very good! Not quite oatmeal raisin cookie type texture, but similar!
- Healthy blueberry crisp - blueberries topped with oats, cinnamon, & honey, baked until bubbly
