Snack-worthy

Well, the weather never cleared up here.

Now it’s just totally dark, cold, and rainy. No run, but that’s okay. It’s going to be chilly this weekend, but the rain should stop sometime tomorrow – or so they’re saying. I’m hoping to get 2 runs in this weekend now after this crappy weather.

One thing that wasn’t bad today was my snack.

I think I was so excited to eat this that I  couldn’t even wait to get a really focused picture.

I took a banana, sliced it into fours, slathered on some almond butter and added a few dark chocolate chips. Try this, if you haven’t.

That snack got me through the rest of my busy day – I ended up not even finishing a few things, but they’ll get done first thing in the morning.

Tonight’s dinner was an easy one since we had leftovers from last night.

And thank goodness because I have more football to watch  :) and laundry to fold.

We heated up the leftover chicken, bulgur dish, and I steamed some broccoli – this really took 5 minutes to get ready. Leftovers just make some nights super easy.

It’s not exactly good “football watching food”, but it did its job.

I have a feeling that Pumpkin Cheesecake ice cream will make an appearance tonight…we ate 30 minutes ago, and I’m still kind of hungry.

 

What was the best thing you ate today?

Mine would have to be that banana snack – I’m going to make that again, for sure.

  2. Tonights eats have been muy bueno. Dinner was a ww sandwich with honey maple turkey deli meat cut this afternoon, cream cheese, and cranberry apple butter. And now I’m having some strawberry balsamic vinegar ice cream :-)

  6. I had to eat out all 3 meals today as I traveled home from some meetings. Honestly the best meal was the sushi Hunni got as takeaway because we didn’t have time to cook dinner. I haven’t had good sushi in awhile so I was super happy.
