Day 1... Again!

Deja Vu lunch today... this time with roasted carrots!!!

I LOVE to run however, when I tried to run this summer, I ended up with an injury in my hip.  After many months off, I am attempting to run again but starting off very slow to avoid injury.  Thus, it's Day 1... again!

Day 1 = 30 minute walk

Off I go

Lucky for me not only is this incredibly easy, but it's also a beautiful fall day AND I live in a beautiful neighborhood!  Finished my run off with yoga and now am ready to tackle some chores :)

Happy Sunday!

Veggie Filled Saturday Lunch

I LOVE my weekends!  Sleep in, play outside, eat amazing food, hang out with friends... what else is better?!

Today I watched Forks Over Knives and decided that I need to get more veggies!!!  I've always known this but it helps to be reminded :)  So... I made an AMAZING lunch!  I made veggie sandwiches with hummus, goat cheese, tomatoes, and cucumbers served on toast.  As sides, I also had caramelized cauliflower and raw carrots with hummus.   I was blown away with the cauliflower.  It was my first time making it and it is definitely something I could have with every meal and not get sick of it!

And to top it off... a red velvet cupcake :)

Have a wonderful Saturday :)

Super Fast Goat Cheese Pasta

Today while doing my Saturday morning blog reading, I saw a recipe for Goat Cheese Pasta that look delicious, easy, and inexpensive.  It turned out to be all of these things and I'm in love!  This is the perfect dish for a date night at home or dinner party and would be great paired with some bread dipped in olive oil, a salad, and some wine.  Thank you Gabriela!

They are only 240 calories each and will be my breakfast for the next week.  I added some ham too.  So tasty :)
