35 Tidbits About Me

Today was grande! The sun was shining, the heat in the office was fixed and the internet even worked for a short span of time. Made for a good Friday. I was at the bottom of my almond butter jar, so I used it as my bowl this morning;
½ cup water & USAB
1/3 cup PC 5 grain cereal
cinnamon
banana
almond butter

Love eating my breakfast out of a jar! The only sad thing about this meal is that I’m now out of TJ’s almond butter and have no plans in the near future to get back to Trader Joes which is 4 hours away. *sigh*

My pre gym fuel was ½ of a Clif Mojo bar. I enjoyed the second part after my lunch.

I hopped on the elliptical today. I’ve found that my ankles tend to be happiest if I flip back and forth between running and the elliptical.. Either way my bod is in motion and that’s what counts!

I made myself a little wrap for lunch today with some bell pepper strips that I saved from dinner last night,some pepper jack cheese and romaine lettuce. All that was bundled into a flatout wrap;

My late afternoon snack was a honey crisp apple;

I’ve decided that these apples taste like really good quality applesauce…with crunch. Are ya feeling me? :D

I had plans to get the groceries done tonight and pick up a few things at the Bulk Barn, but my hubby got stuck at work until late and there was NO way I was about to take both the kids with me. My little man can make things miserable if he has a mind to! So what did I do? BAKE!! I decided to make my Banana Cranberry Pumpkin Cake seeing as I had all the ingredients on hand. Last year I baked it up in a Bundt pan, but went with the 9 x 13 baking dish this time around.

**Please note: although the Bundt pan version baked in 60 minutes, the 9 X 13 only took 45 so keep an eye on it!**

While I was preparing the cake I had supper cooking in the oven. A kabocha squash, turkey sausages and fries. I also steamed up some broccoli & cauliflower. Here’s mine;
