Wednesday: Body Pump am, work, errands, RELAXING. For dinner. I made a mix of mostly finger foods. Fresh veggies and pretzels/crackers that I served with two kinds of Sabra hummus (pine nut and roasted red pepper).
Bananas and Pineapple served with a cool whip/yogurt mix:
I also made these crab cakes (no picture). Everything was totally delicious! Thursday: Work, laundry, taught 45 minute Body Step, took 45 minute Body Pump, made din din. Dinner consisted of salads and FRESH red fish that my dad caught. Josh also had a baked potato.
Josh's salad- spinach, broccoli, broccoli slaw, pea pods, pine nuts, cheese with a drizzle of olive oil:
My salad- Romaine, broccoli, pea pods, tomato, apple, salsa:
Friday: Got up early to run through the new Body Attack full out (we're launching the new release next week!), ran 2 miles, work time!
I only have to work a half day today and am planning on going to the grocery store. We're headed out to dinner tonight to Crave. This is one of my FAVORITE restaurants near our house. Most of the fruits/veggies/seafood are local/organic!
What are you up to this weekend?

I am so jealous of your fresh fish!! I need to visit a coast SOON.
I gotta hit the grocery today, too. Is it oh so sad that I look forward to trips to the grocery, like, all week? ;-)
Have fun at Crave!!
Note to self: "Do NOT read Itzy's Kitchen when you have hunger pangs." Torture!! So can I get a crab cake???

oooo I agree, the pineapple/banana with dip looks killer! perfect for summer!
I just love fruity salads. Yogurt and cool whip sounds like a great combination!

Clean, clean! I love it all!
Bill's parents are coming this weekend (which you know from my blog -haha) so we are sightseeing and eating and drinking!
I love all of your meals!! They look so delicious!
This week is crazy in terms of the news! Don't forget Ed McMahon AND (even though this doesn't affect you) another Detroit politician is headed off to the slammer. Yikes! Have fun at the restaurant - I have restaurant jealousy ;)
Cool whip/ yogurt mix is such a good idea! Thank goodness there's so much tasty fresh fruit in season. Thanks for the pizza dough suggestion- I was just looking at the 101 cookbooks website yesterday and there are so many great ideas! Have a great weekend!
Salsa on salads is so tasty!
finger food meals are so much fun! The fish looks great- as does 'Crave'- can't beat fresh/locally grown foods.
Have a great weekend- so exciting that you get to meet your niece!
Do you eat fish or are you a total veggie?
Totally love your veggie and cracker tray!!

As always good eats girl!!! Try the gazpacho, I think you may be surprised!
We are going to relax at home this weekend, looking forward to pool time with the kids!

Cool whip and yogurt is such a simple idea, but I've never even considered it. Awesome! I am definitely going to copy you. :)
P.S. Thanks for visiting my blog! :)
Your salads with pea pods look delicious! I love pea pods, they add a nice crunch to a salad.
The news is out of control this week huh?! Craaazy. For the rest of the weekend I am just going to start packing(hate packing!)to move. BTW, that fruit/dip combo looks so refreshing and yummy!
