Whole Wheat "Buttermilk" Pancakes!!I have been meaning to make pancakes for so long- I ate pancakes ALL the time growing up and in college ALL the time too. I think that is part of my lack of motivation for making them now. Plus, I have never liked maple syrup much ( no, not that real stuff either). However, Jeff and I both have a SNOW DAY! 4 inches overnight and it is STILL coming down! Over 800

Morning:Steel Cut Protein OatsI made a smoothie using pineapple, blueberries, ground flax seed, organic milk and vanilla protein powder ( about half my normal size).Then I used some of that smoothie and mixed it with quick cook steel cut oats and water- microwaved that and sliced a half banana into it. Of course peanut butter on top. It is just so delicious, smooth and salty with the sweet

I didn't want to limit my response in the comment section so I decided to just post!Re: Heather of HangryPantsWhat is your school's gym like?I wanted to mention that I already belong to a "private" gym because it is super cheap and has a huge resistance section & huge cardio section. They do not offer anything else really,

"Cardio Sculpt Class"- It was so great of Melissa to let me use her guest pass, I thought the first half of the class was fantastic! I really got sweaty, could feel my heart pumping and it is SO hard for a class to make me do that. -The second half was all about using weights and "strength" exercises. I really didn't like

We were out of bananas and milk this morning so I knew I had to head to the store!I wasn't quite sure how well it would turn out because I am not up to speed with cooking properties of protein powder,

So should I start at the beginning or end? .. hmmm I think I will start with dinner and finish with breakfast...Dinner:Chicken Veggie Soup + Sammy + KaleI did enjoy this can of soup- although I don't care for potatoes in my soup unless it is potato soup and there was barely any chicken- this soup was tasty especially for a can variety.On the side some toasted kale and a sammy...

Body:The plan for today is a great sweaty run. My knee was very sore last night as were my toes. Its odd because it has felt so great lately. Anyway, I am shooting for just a good 3.2 but we will see. If it bothers me, I'll be doing something else.** And the plan worked! I did a fantastic 3.2 and once I got over the harsh first mile, I decided I would go to 4. I ran at 9.2 mph for 6 minutes and

Thank you so very much for letting me know your thoughts! I usually right back to commenter's in the comment section but I read the emails with comments before hand and decided to do half and half! Half with powdered sugar and intended to do a glaze on the other half. I started a chocolate glaze with rum but I didn't know the rum bottle was empty and I was quickly running out of time! I just

I completely support anyone who chooses or needs to be on gluten free diets, vegan, vegetarian etc. Even though I do not personally take part in any of these, I find VeggieGirl's creations quite spectacular. I find it even more spectacular because with those restrictions, I can imagine how very hard it can be to find foods or make foods that support it let alone be delicious! So I thought I

Body: Run and 20 min Yoga! I love this whole "intention and expectation" thing because I posted friday morning that a run and yoga is what I intended to do but this little part of my mind was telling me "what if you knee hurts? you are going to end up on the elliptical" . Well, I did end up on the elliptical- but only for a 10 minute cool down! This  time my total distance was 6 miles but I

I am home and tuckered out! Jack is too because he didn't even want dinner - he has laid in his "bedroom" since we got home! I think it was all the attention and spoiling my parents gave him. We went on lots of walks too- and he had lots of treats. He was kinda bad only because the parents let him up on the furniture:I must be so tired from all of that baking I have been up too ...

This was a recipe in Southern Living's Best Cakes and Pies Ever, special edition magazine. One of my student's mother's gave it to me during Teacher Appreciation Week, one of the best gifts aside from teaching a student with autism, was this magazine! Original recipe is here: http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=1176228and calls for a mocha sauce,

Body: Walked 2 miles with my mom and jack ( 2 loops around their neighborhood!) it was sooooo windy! After we had chatted about the day ahead, I decided that staying here another night would allow me to get a good workout in today instead of being tired today after a drive home. So, we headed to the gym after lunch..   The gym workout today: A fantastic RUN!! I am so happy

I keep finding these insanely appropriate passages that I relate to in this book I am reading. I keep wanting to write more about them but haven't yet. This one was really staying with me so I thought I would share with you some of what I read last night...There is so much about my fate that I cannot control, but other things do fall under my jurisdiction. There are certain lottery tickets I can

I decided to make these bad boys because I love Andes Candies. The recipe called for their chips but I just crushed up the whole dinner mints instead. I also didn't use the frosting in that recipe I used a "winter white frosting recipe" that looked snowy and divine.

Jeff and I both woke up very early , he packed and left for his trip. I packed and headed out with jack-brown-town-pants-dog to my parents. We call Jack all kinds of nicknames..

Body: Yoga at home in the morning- 25 minutes. Then I was off to the gym for strength training: I lifted Chest, Shoulders, Triceps and Hamstrings and then for Cardio...  A fantastic 4 mile run! That brings this week's mileage up to 17 miles!  I also did about 10 minutes on the elliptical to cool down. For the run I did what you could probably consider speedwork- although its nothing like

I wanted something warm so I heated up frozen blueberries and pineapple. The juices came out of the fruits and I thought I would make fruity-oats, so I put in some quick cook steel cut oats and added a little water. In they went to the microwave for a couple minutes and on top went Cottage cheese (cabot is delicious!!), Cinnamon, Banana (organic) with Smucker's All Natural Peanut Butter. With

I know, I should have made this look much prettier but I didn't and it was delicious nonetheless. It was pumpkin pie for one, with steel cut oats as a crust and pumpkin "filling" . I didn't have anything else in our fridge really and no fresh fruit- so I threw frozen blueberries on top since it was too hot to eat immediately anyway. Quick and Easy!

The "compote" is in quotes because technically a fruit compote begins with a simple syrup of water and sugar, cooked with vanilla or liquor then fruit is added etc etc. The efficient B-Healthy (that's me f.y.i) is all "Why add sugar to something that is sweet already?" so I just heat up frozen unsweetened fruits most of the time. Their juices release and it essentially is a less sugar, more

Rice & Beans with Sausage is one of Jeff's most favorite meals. I, however, pretty much hate rice and sausage and sometimes I can handle beans/sometimes I can't. I used to have to take nexium, gees, but I have been good without it for about 1 year! So why would I eat things I don't like for dinner?Well, I found this sausage on one of my several attempts to find sausages that were fairly healthy

Egg White French Toast, I used the leftover batter for scrambled eggs (mostly whites) and frozen Peaches, Strawberries and cherries (heated up in a separate bowl). I used cage-free born free eggs and Newman's Own Double Fiber Bread- Delicious!Jeff and I had the exact same plate. I am usually not as hungry as he is but this morning I totally was!Body:I might go for a run or the gym but I also

My feet are EXHAUSTED!! I had such a great time shopping with my mom- we shopped ALL over the mall including Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, Coach (!!!!!),then grabbed a snack: we split a pretzel and a lemonade. In that bag is a present for Momma Mo (Jeff's Mom) but I had a big heavy bag with a present for me in it.. NO PEEKING! You can't see it until Christmas! ...Then it was off to Kohl's,

I have no idea what made me come up with that. I wanted protein, and I wanted to use my egg whites for that. I didn't want just scrambled eggies , wasn't in the mood for it. I wanted something sweet and didn't want oatmeal ( despite that I have four different types of oats and no bread left).So I "messed up" before making the batter for french toast with blueberries http://runlmo1.blogspot.com/

Breakfast: Steel cut Quick Oats (from Trader Joes $2.29 for 17 servings) organic banana ( it seriously fell that way in the bowl too)I put a sprinkle of slivered almonds, a drop of maple syrup right in the middle and peanut butter all around the banana.I also had a little of the smoothie I made for Jeff... milk, protein powder, pb, frozen mango, frozen pineaple and frozen strawberries.I love how

Lunch:Asparagus spears in sicilian sauce with a little cheese (Sargento Reduced Fat Mexican)Apple crisp sprinkled with cheese, I heard about apple pies with cheddar on top and figured I'd give it a whirl. Honestly, it was delicious but you couldn't taste the cheese at all. On the side I had a chobani nonfat greek Strawberry Yogurt with half of a whole wheat British Muffin.The Snowman says "Yay!"

The endive app went over very well! Jeff's stepdad Preston suggested some hot sauce so we all tried it out, the verdict was they were delicious either way! I had a few of the endive with this mich ultra ( there's the hottest hot sauce ever and behind them is the empty plate!)The Family Decorating ( Preston and Melissa - don't worry I am emailing you all the photos after I'm done posting here!)

I wanted to bring something over to Momma Mo's for the tree trimming, even though she will have dinner and probably/maybe christmas cookies... I still wanted to contribute something!

I couldn't make up my mind what I wanted for lunch at first but it all came together so nicely.I made a sandwich with just turkey and toasted bread, then wanted more protein ( my protein powder has some extra "recovery" ingredients so perfect for after a run!). I made a smoothie with 1/2 milk 1/2 water, mango, pineapple and protein powder. I wasn't sure what vegetable I wanted, but then saw

...are the best! I got this big bag of raw sliced almonds from Trader Joes (~ $4) so that I could do a special appetizer for Momma Mo's tree trimming tonight! Well this bag should last me quite a long time, even though it was the smallest bag they had...I toasted them in the pan while I cooked two pieces of egg white french toast and sprinkle cinnamon over all of it.

Body:Jeff was going to the gym after work and I felt up for it so we worked out together ...again! It was so much fun! We did his version of strength training as far as muscle group (opposition) but we did my version of "endurance lifting"... essentially lower weights but for as many reps as you can get. We make a great team!Strength: Chest, Lats, Triceps, Biceps, SquatsCardio: I did a mish mosh-

Surprise Sunday TreatI thought i left Trader Joes with a bag of organic fuji apples after looking at the shelf tag & price. I get home and, lo and behold, I left with a $5 bag of washington, non organic apples. I was highly disappointed because I really like fuji's and apples contain the highest levels of pesticides so I try to always get organic. I hated to have to drive all the way back there (

I didn't want to get carried away with my "stuffing" since I was having three slices ( It is low-cal, 7-grain bread) and the egg whites took care of my protein, I was so so excited about the grapefruit I got yesterday as well- so I didn't really need the stuffing but wanted just a little Three pieces of French Toast , Three Mangos, Strawberry, Blueberries and heated up in the pan, I used some

Dinner:Okay I impressed myself with this one... It was dinner for one tonight ( I miss you Jeff) so I used Fresh Express Very Veggie Salad mix as a base ( romaine, carrots, radish, snow pea, cabbage). I microwaved a sweet potato for about minutes. I knew I wanted chicken so I cooked a piece with a little dash of teriayki. While it cooked I put the Kale into the toaster oven with s & p. I peeled

* last night Jeff and I each had a glass of a Riesling I have been keeping my fridge since Thanksgiving. I finally thought it was time to celebrate a little- so there is my glass- we watched a scary movie (Sweeney Todd) and I couldn't take the grossness because I would have nightmares now that he is gone for a few days. So we switched to a comedy, The Ex. I thought it was hilarious- not a great

Dinner: Leftover Pasta Bake with none of that sausage- a slice of turkey breast, extra italian cheese, and I put the last of that smoked salmon from TJ in there at first. It was absolutely way too salty- I didn't eat it- I hate wasting food but this was beyond salty. For some perspective, I really enjoy salt and vinegar potato chips, I can eat like 4 pickle slices a a time- this was way

I mentioned on Sunday that I baked some cookies and in the essence of Christmas, I wanted to give some away. I decided that since I do not have “coworkers” to test them, and my parents live 3 hours away, I would have Jeff send them in to work for his team to Taste Test for me. I thought it would also be a cool feature of the blog to do every now and then.I sent in 3 types that I modified from

Woke up not feeling right at all... I had No hunger No appetite. Beyond that . I felt like if I ate anything, it would come right back up. So I decided I would go to the gym and maybe workout these excess stress hormones from this weekend ( I didn't get in a good cardio workout over the weekend either so I thought that might be it).... Not it. As soon as I jumped on the elliptical I knew, it was

Good Morning !     Totally Plain, Totally Happy. There has to be something said for enjoying oats for how they truly are. No seasonings, spices, mix-ins, whatevers.  Just plain old oats in their true form. I wanted to appreciate oats for who they really are.
