So It's Been a While..

It took me a while to get back into the blogging spirit but I've done it. I'm here!

Highlights from this past week include;

Going out out for Lauren's birthday, I swear her birthday lasted like two weeks. Not mad about it though ;)  We got the girly friends together and hit a few bars saturday night.

Then a marvelous trip to the gorcery store. Oh how I love grocery shopping. It's actually somewhat strange how much I like grocery shopping.. I found this product called PB2. If you are familiar with it, shame on you for not sharing it with me sooner. It is amazing. It's 85% less calories than regular peanut butter but it tastes exactly like peanut butter and even has the same consistency! It comes in traditional peanut butter flavor and peanut butter chocolate.

 

Along with the PB2 I bought some chia seeds. They are full of fiber and a decent amount of protein so I like to add them into things like oatmeal and smoothies. This morning I had the most filling oatmeal, I couldn't even finish it. The recipe is as follows:

 

Power Packed Oatmeal

-1/2 c old fashioned oats

-1 Tbsp Dried cranberries

-2 Tbsp PB2

-1 Tbsp Chia seeds

-1 c Water

 

Stir together the oats, water, cranberries and chia seeds. Microwave on high for two minutes. Then stir in the PB2 and viola! It reminds me of Peanut butter and jelly with the dried cranberries. Yumzzzz.

 

I also visited one of my favorite gluten free bakeries this week. I enjoy their faccocia bread more than written words can express. Also, since I have a birthday coming up this week, cough cough tomorrow cough cough, I thought it was only right to treat myself to a gluten free lemon cupcake. :p I always bake gluten free cakes for everyone else on their birthdays so on my birthday I prefer to have someone else bake for me. Hence why I ventured on over to Holiday Baking Company.





That's about all the excitement from this week so until next time..
