This weekend has been pretty relaxing and I am so thankful for that. After everything the past couple weeks, B and I have been happy to just relax at home and keep everything low key. I've done some cooking, laundry and yoga but that's been about it.
Here's the meal that I whipped up last night. Whole wheat spaghetti with homemade marinara, spinach salad with olives and tomatoes, french bread with olive oil, rosemary and cracked pepper.
I topped off my yummy dinner with a glass of white wine and a couple good cookbook reads.
We bought a bag of gala apples, granny smith apples, and concorde pears at Trader Joes for the week. Aren't they beautiful?!
I also decided to pull out all the odds and ends meals from our freezer and cook everything for the upcoming workweek. I cooked up rice casserole, twice baked cheddar broccoli potatoes, chocolate chip pumpkin muffins, enchilada pie, french style carrot and potato mash, and Hawaiian BBQ chicken. I am a vegetarian but B still eats meal a couple times a week. I love prepping meals for the week so I don't have to worry about spending money eating out or being too busy when I get home.
I decided to make some yummy gingerbread loaf this morning and we have been snacking on it all day.
Chloe has been doing a lot of this today. Give this pit bull a lap and a blanket and she is out cold. Nothing like napping on this gross rainy day.
I did some yoga this morning and it felt so good to do something to be active again. I decided to do some squats and crunches too. I am still trying to take it easy after last week, but I just want to run or spin so much. This morning I made B and I some oatmeal with cinnamon and almond milk topped with a little brown sugar, lots of blueberries and walnuts. We also had apples with a sprinkle of apple pie spice and a slice of gingerbread cake.
I hope everyone has enjoyed their weekend!
