Dinner tonight: zucchini boats (love making these) & herb-crusted sweet potato bites (first time to make. I followed this recipe)

Highlight of my Sunday: I was making oaties and put wax paper in the oven. Then my apartment filled with smoke and I realized I’m an idiot in the kitchen sometimes.

Having a small dog is like having a child. This one started limping and wouldn’t put pressure on that right paw.

I couldn’t figure out if she got a bee sting or twisted it running from the bee. All I know is that there was a bee involved. I was too busy in the kitchen stuffing my face not paying attention to my child.

How awesome is my belated Christmas present from my parents?

It’s a medal hanger with the Dallas skyline and a picture of me after White Rock Marathon 2010.

How did I ever survive without a KitchenAid stand mixer?

I made the drive today back to my place after staying over a week at my parents’ house (and had no car entertainment thanks to this sleepy dog).

When I got back, I immediately went to the grocery store and restocked my fridge.

I wanted to try my new mixer too so I found this sweet potato muffin recipe from Runner’s World. One of my 2012 goals is to eat less processed foods so I’m going to try these muffins out as a snack.
I made some changes like less sugar, whipped butter (made with olive oil), and almond milk instead of buttermilk.

Heading back to my place and again my co-pilot decides to sleep the entire drive.

Texas Spinach Salad. Complete with fried jalapeños.

Only in Texas can you eat lunch outside on a patio in December. When it’s 73 degrees out.

After spin class at my favorite spin studio in Dallas, I’m eating lunch at one of my favorite spots in Uptown. You can’t beat all this food at Fadi’s for just $11.

Another Christmas present. I think I’m in love.

Thanks to my new iPhone 4G (which I bought for myself yesterday), I’m now able to take videos.

Here is one of the pugs. Ignoring their new toys and going straight for the bubble wrap. Merry Christmas!
