Evening chicas! I first want to give a shout out and a huge CONGRATULATIONS to all of our fellow female food bloggers who received FoodBuzz Blog Award nominations. Good luck to all the nominees!
Today was such a productive day! Really, I felt like I was flying through project after project and putting out fires along the way.
This morning, I was on treadmill about 6:30 to run for about 15 minutes before heading outside. It had just rained about 2 hours before so the ground was still wet and the air had that wet Autumn leaf smell that I love. I only ran about 4 miles total – it was all I could do today because I was running late for work.
After my run, I grabbed a simple breakfast…
A high fiber English muffin with all-natural creamy peanut butter.
Somehow, even after waking up at 6 AM I still didn’t get to work until after 9 AM. I really have to streamline my morning routine.
About mid-morning, I became a little hungry and went to my granola bar stash in my drawer. I tried the Market Pantry high fiber peanut butter and oats granola bar.
I was excited to try this bar because I love “high fiber” foods. But, after one bite, I knew this bar was not for me. I did not like this bar at ALL. It’s hard to even tell you what I didn’t like about it because after just one bite, I grimaced and threw it away. I’m glad I didn’t waste 140 calories on that one!
So, it was on to lunch! I was so hungry by the time I stopped for lunch that I ate it so fast and I didn’t stop to take a photo (oops!). But rest assured, it was the same thing that I had for dinner last night – sausage and pasta with leeks. Nothing like leftovers!
Dinner ended up being more leftovers – turkey chili!
I had it with a size of elbow noodles, topped with white cheddar cheese – yummy!
The chili was pretty filling, but I still went for another piece of chocolate cake to finish off the night…
This cake is sooo good! But, I would be extremely relieved if I came home tomorrow and it was all gone. Please take this cake out of the house!
Now, I’m watching reruns of The Office and contemplating whether or not I should do more work. I think not – I see my new Shape and Fitness magazines staring at me just begging to be read!
Take care all and see you tomorrow!
I’ll glady take that cake off your hands!! 😉
I am so behind on my magazines…
I’d totally take the cake from you too 😀
yummmmm! i don’t know what looks tastier – the chili or the cake!
I’m loving leftovers right now too. Though I wish I had some leftover cake in my life!
That turkey chili looks amazing. I haven’t made chili in such a long time, but now that the weather is cooling down and it smells like fall, I’ve been really craving some! I think it’s time to pick up some beans, tomatoes, and ground meat at the grocery store soon….
