>Hiii loves,
Sorry it’s been so long! The weather has just been so darn nice! To those that celebrate Easter, did you have a nice one? Easter brunch is the best 🙂
My weekend can pretty much be split up into 4 genres: Friends, food, fitness, and…SUN!
I. FRIENDS
^Mexican and margaritas (DCers, you MUST try this place! So healthy/fresh and outta this world fish tacos!)
^Skinny margarita (tequila, splash triple sec, juice from 5-6 lime wedges)
^Roof deck bars
II. FOOD
^DELIVERY (yes, one of the best inventions yet) Sushi! (Salmon sashimi and salmon and avocado roll)
^Edamame and miso soup
^ Salad monster (Romaine, tomato, cucumber, avocado, organic chicken, strawberries, grapes, sunflower seeds, TJ’s Goddess Dressing.
^Another salad monster (Romaine, tomatoes, egg whites, carrots, crasins, TJ’s red pepper hummus (hummus as salad dressing is SO GOOD! Thank you, Kailey!), nutritional yeast, and Mary’s crack.
^Scrambled egg whites/spinach on top of Ezekiel bread
^I CAVED!!! I used to be obsessed with these! Is it healthy? Heck no. Was it delicious? Um…YES. Do I feel guilty? Not at all, I believe in treating myself once in a while.
^Chia oats (oats, chia, nanner, Cinnamon Raisin swirl PB, stevia, vanilla SunWarrior protein, raisins, dash sea salt = current fav combo)
^Chia pudding (chia, h20, unsweetened cacao, agave, dash sea salt. Chilled to “gel” then warmed and topped with vanilla fro-yo). SO GOOD!!!
^Diced Honeycrisp apple with Kashi puffs, Kashi Go Lean, cinnamon, and almond milk
^Quinoa, organic chicken (marinated in soy sauce, balsamic, garlic, and worcheshire), egg whites, peas, corn, green beans, spinach. This is the MANFRIEND’s recipe! 🙂
^Kale chips (Rubbed in pineapple/mango salsa, red chili powder, cumin, pepper, sea salt) Tip: Go light on the spices. A little goes a long way!)
^Baked then broiled sweet potato topped with WF’s Mahi Mahi burger, avocado, kale chips, pineapple/mango salsa. Pretty darn good!! 😉
III. FITNESS
^Running at night in SHORTS!
^View on bridge looking over Potomac River at Kennedy Center (R) and Washington Monument (center)
IV. SUN
^Chillin in a park with the pup
^Sorry if my Casper legs are blinding you! ha
^Kels (sis) and Michael (pup)
Hope you all had a great weekend and start to your week!!!
QUESTION: What’s the first thing you want to do when it’s fiiiiinally warm out?? For me, it’s reading a good book in the sun 😎
