Day 52: Shopping for my Blog

Hey NeverEver's!

How has your Friday been?

It has been a wonderful day since the Hubby has the day off and I, well I still don't have a job so ya. The So. Cal weather is not going with the idea that it is Fall and therefore should be cooler but we haven't gotten the memo, there is a heat wave hitting us this weekend.

So I had no idea what I wanted to do for breakfast today. Since the Hubby was home I usually cook breakfast for us together but today I wasn't feeling it. After some great suggestions from my friends and after reading the posts from other blogs I got inspired. Have to say it came from Peanut Butter and Peppers, while looking through her amazing recipes I got my idea.

Cinnamon and Peach MultiGrain Pancakes

The whole kitchen really had really yummy Fall smell to it. The peaches went really well with the cinnamon. What made it better was it was Hubby approved!

After lazying around the house we went to get some stuff from Target. We are going to a movie marathon tomorrow for Indiana Jones, I personally can't wait, but I wanted to pick up some 'Healthy Snacks' so I wouldn't be stuck with popcorn and candies.

Got some almonds, Special K bars, and Low Fat Ruffles. All of which is better then popcorn when your in a theater for 4 movies in a row. Its a good thing Harrison Ford is so damn sexy!

Anyways, Hubby surprised me by looking at plates for my food on the blog. I was talking with him earlier that I didn't like the way my pictures were coming out. We are talking about getting a new camera one of these days, but for now  think these will help.

I never would have really picked these colors out but Hubby has some creative tastes and came out with this.

Again something I wouldn't have picked out but this is one of my favorite ones that we got.

I really have no idea how the picture came out sideways but it did. Anyways, I do love the Black vs White look so this one I might be using more often.

I love the contrast here, just like with the black and white. This one just pops a little more I think.

So that was my shopping for my Blog. I never would have thought I would actually be getting things for this but I am happy I have. Makes it even better that it was the Hubby's idea!

Daily Stats Day 51:

Yesterday was an amazing workout. Went to the park like normal but instead of just walking it I actually jogged in intervals around the park. Never have I done that before. It has been astounding me that I am jogging but able to keep it up!

Okay NeverEver's enjoy your weekend! Also let me know what you think about my new plates!

Day 51: Dinner is cooked + Another jog down

Hey NeverEver's!

I hope your Thursday is going well? Mine was a little nerve wracking at times but I think that had to do with me going to an interview. They are never easy...no matter how many times you have them.

Also got an e-mail from a job opportunity that connected with me through Linkedin. So if you are looking for a job, even if you aren't, linkedin is getting some more attention from companies that are hiring! Something to keep in mind.

Daily Stats Day 51:

So I am really excited that I went jogging last night. Wasn't even planning on it but it happened. Got further last night then I did on Tuesday. Maybe after this post when I go out walking I will be jogging again?

I do love my Calorie Balance here!

Okay so dinner for tonight. Hubby came home early today and I forgot to take out the ground turkey that I was gonna use. One phone call later and the turkey is out of the freezer and the Hubby is laughing at me for forgetting. After threatening him with no food the teasing stopped.

I decide that I want a snack. Got these really sweet and juicy peaches from Fresh and Easy this week and it was time to try them out! As stated it was delicious and the Laughing Cow Cheese just topped it off perfectly! Hubby was a little leery about trying it but once he did he liked it. Like I knew he would ^_^.

Dinner was a little bit of a hassle though. Started off with the idea of Turkey Meatballs with Wheat Spaghetti! A normal Italian meal just a little healthier. Well it didn't turn out that way.

Turns out that I can't cook wheat pasta. Somehow it turned into mush. If anyone has an idea of how that happened I would really love to know why!

My meatballs turned out really well though! Instead of bread pieces I did the bread crumbs. egg whites and some garlic. Coated the pan with EVOO spray. Also did some steamed broccoli!

This is what I ended up with! It was a decision not to use 'Steamed' vegetables anymore. We prefer to use the boiled version. The steamed just was a little to plastic-ie tasting.

I got the idea of the 'Healthy MeatBalls' from here healthy-and-tasty-turkey-meatballs. But once I looked at what the recipe called for I realized I didn't have almost any of it. So I made my own, but this is still saved in the 'recipe's to try' pile. It does look good!

Dinner wasn't exactly what I planned at the beginning of the night but it went pretty well! It was family approved which is a big thing.

So NeverEver's how did you deal when something went wrong in the kitchen? What do you guys think about 'Steamed' veggies? Also, how are you liking the 'Day Behind Stats'??
