WIAW- A Whole Lot of Random Stuff

Good morning. Not a whole lot to report over here. I’m trying (key word is trying) to make myself rest after the marathon Sunday. I’ve been eating up a storm and somehow even managed to get in a nap yesterday afternoon.

Today is National Running Day. I really should write a great running post. Shoulda woulda coulda.

I’m going to write about food instead.

Ha ha.

I do have to say that my legs are feeling pretty darn good. I’m going to credit my compression socks and Biofreeze. I just may have to fit in a few treadmill miles to celebrate.

Here are some mentionable eats lately so I can try to crash the What I Ate Wednesday party.

Since I’ve got more than enough pouches of tuna I tried to get creative for a protein packed snack salad the other day.

I like experimenting with different salad toppings/condiments since it’s hard to find nondairy dressings that aren’t high in fat and calories.

Just a pack of tuna and these three things make a pretty darn noteworthy salad.

Scotty B’s Sweet habanero hot sauce, Mustard Girl mustard, Vlasic no sugar added sweet relish

Crushed red pepper and Trader Joe’s Everyday Seasoning make anything a little better also.

This salad didn’t photograph well, but it tasted great.

It held me over just long enough for my big  afternoon snack.

I had that peanutty protein pumpkin dip again yesterday.

Lunch, snack, as a frosting, whatever. I’m loving it.

I made it a single serving and upped the protein powder a bit this time.

I topped it with the same nut butters and some Flatout cinnamon crisps, but changed up my fruit choice on the side to apples.

Here’s some noteworthy condiments from dinner last night too.

This Ghostly Garlic sauce on a huge combination of roasted cauliflower, roasted zuchinni and roasted broccoli slaw.

And then this Artisana Walnut Butter (because I don’t have enough other open jars of nut butter around)

went inside my pizoatie (like I do in the peanut butter surprise pizoatie).

I subbed in some coconut flour for the oats and it was a bit crumbly, but the taste was magnificent.

Of course I topped it with this ice cream  frozen frosting and those darn expired sprinkles, but didn’t take a picture. I had to get back to my Bachelorette watching.

Ha ha.

The boys are up and I was just told by Joaquin to put the computer away.

That is exactly what I’m going to do.

Mommy duty calls.

Returning emails can wait.

I’m tempted to take the boys in our pajamas to go get donuts. I’ve been craving one since the race Sunday. That’s a good way to start celebrating National Running Day, isn’t it?

Ha ha.

My next post WILL be that ice cream.
