Leo cheers me up

You know what Leo pictures mean..short post. He cheers me up though, maybe he will cheer you up too?

He just got continually more depressed as I snapped away!

I feel better already, thanks Leo!

For dinner, I had a beer.

Oh, and pizza too.

We bought some Italian five-grain dough and cut in half, per usual.

Topped mine with some chopped pancetta, onions, mozzy, and a little truffle oil(Don’t worry, see the green!!). Mmmm! Can’t wait for leftovers at lunchtime. Yum!

I then picked up my good friend and former roomie, Mandy. She requested Jeremiah’s..okay fine, pull my arm!

I got the gelati which is vanilla ice cream with italian ice. I chose the pomegranate and sour apple italian ice. Yum!

We then headed out to meet some friends and watch the Bachelor. Drama, drama, drama. Those girls are crazy!

I may also have had a small piece of brownie or two. The sweet tooth reared it’s ugly head tonight!

I am off to bed.

Hopefully, I will be announcing my new site debuting tomorrow!! Still have to tweak a little. So excited to unveil it to you all!

Have a goodnight!

Bananas Foster Oatmeal

Yesterday I decided to take the day off, I drove home and kind of had a rough day overall. Today is a MUCH better day and I am very grateful for that!

If you missed this weekend’s posts, play catch up!:

-I made my first vlog.

-I signed up for a bake sale to raise money for Haiti! Go bid or bake!

-I ran 5 Miles and ate yummy food(of course)!

Here are pictures of yesterdays eats..

Mmmm…

Now onto today!

This morning started off with a two mile run! Love getting it done early. It was a good, easy run!

When I got home, I made yummy oats for Adam and I. This recipe was inspired by Katie’s banana-brulee oats!

I call it-

Banana’s Foster Oats

I made our oats(I made too small a batch for both of us so this is a single serving recipe):

-1/2 Cup oats

-1 Cup Light vanilla soymilk (makes all the difference to me)

-Pinch of salt

-Couple drops of vanilla

Then I “melted” the bananas. Katie, you are a genius! Each time I opened the microwave to check the bananas I was met with the caramelized banana smell that amazingly glorious! Banana wantons, banana’s foster, and anything with cooked bananas and ice cream I love. This was brilliant and I have never thought of it before!

I scooped the oats into the bowl and topped with the melted bananas in the middle then sprinkled a brown-sugar caramel cookie(as I am calling it for the moment) I am still working on the recipe but I baked it yesterday and then broke it up and placed it in a container until this morning. Then sprinkled on top for a crunchy, caramel, brown sugary and banana bite in every spoonful which gave it the brown sugar, butter taste I love about banana’s foster! It was pretty fantastic, considering I am just starting to like oatmeal and I ate a huge bowl!

P.S. Have you checked out the VitaMix giveaway over at Katie’s blog?! Pretty sweet giveaway if you ask me!

Lunch was pretty random as my dinner was last night(see above photos) but so yummy!

I heated up some frozen brussels sprouts in the microwave. I officially love brussels sprouts in every form. Mmmm! A couple of carrots, string cheese and a piece of cornbread my mom sent home with me from Whole Foods, they have fantasticly sweet cornbread. Love it! That looks like a ton of butter, I promise it’s not!

I am working on my new site and a freelance article for the rest of the day, Adam is at a few meetings right now and then we will be able to go work at a coffee shop together. I should be able to debut the new site either by tomorrow or Wednesday! YAY! I am SO beyond excited to show you all and tell you the new name.

See you all later!
