Weekend Happenings

What up? What up?! Chocolate - that's what, party peoples!!! :P This tasty little vegan cupcake was a bright spot for me late Friday afternoon. Thanks, mom - I love how you spice up life with sweet little surprises. :-) 

Ada's gluten-free, soy-free, vegan cupcakes are made here local in town! Oops. Maybe that's something I shouldn't know because they're so good! :P 

Thursday night's dinner was brown rice pasta salad with veggie stir-fry, salad and organic whole grain bread with coconut oil. By the time supper rolled around - I was starving (!) so everything tasted extra good! :-) 

Tomato soup for supper, anyone? Friday night I opted out of a camping invite. Sorry - party pooper! Instead I laid on the couch for movie night with the girls. :) I like to watch movies about camping, does that make sense? :P 

My current favorite food is whole wheat toast spread with coconut oil and . . . honey! Spectacular combination. You should try it! 

The past couple of days I really haven't felt much like running. And, I didn't feek like it this morning either, but -- that's why I knew I had to go for a run. Happy to say I really got into it and was motivated to go a mile further than I set out to. :) Love that feeling! 

It'd been a while since I'd run 4 miles so it felt fantastic! 4.1 miles in just over 36 minutes. I need to up my milage to at least 5 because of an upcoming race! 

The above picture was from a quick photo shoot right after my run that I did my sister Mary and her adorable pups! 

Kale smoothie today for greens. :) Did you eat your's today? 

This was lunch {overnight oats} in the car on the way to this . . . 

Phew! So intense. Seriously, I left the theater with a greater appreciation for our US warriors. So thankful. How do you process a movie like this? 

This evening was another birthday celebration in my family! Jon-boy you're growing up too faaaasssst. I can't believe you're 13!!! {Does that mean I'm old when I start talking like this?}  

Inspired by yesterday's cupcake - I decided to try and make my own version of a healthy cupcake for the birthday boy. :) You know me - gotta get my hands on it! 

Chocolate mocha cupcakes = happiness. :) There are still a few left so if you want one -- come on over! 

I was going to try a new recipe and do some experimenting but ran out of time. Instead, I subbed with the ingredients I had on hand using this recipe {click here} as my base. :) 

Have a great wk-end, folks! Coming up on Monday I'll be sharing some of my thoughts on positive thinking and choosing our state. :-)
