Oatmeal Bread, Shrimpy Salad

Hello! First off, thank you for all your feedback on my blog!! I plan to do an "About me" post, focus on more fast/healthy recipes, and talk a little bit more about my workout routine in the next few posts.

How is your memorial day weekend going? Ours has been lovely so far. Friday, I taught Body Attack and then Josh and I went out to dinner at Crave. Saturday, I taught Body Step, went shopping with my mom, did some house work, and then Josh, Josh's friend Jeremy and I went out to a dinner/movie theater called Cinebarre. We saw Night at the Museum, which was super cute. I also enjoyed some chips and salsa at the theater which was heavenly :) Today, I took Body Pump, did tons of house work (silly rain- I wanted to go to the beach), and relaxed.

I have been doing some cooking/baking this weekend and wanted to share a few of my favorite meals. First, I made this easy oatmeal bread. I added 1/4 cup of raisins to the mix. Its a fairly simple and yummy bread.

I also made up a very yummy shrimpy salad tonight. I cooked up some shrimp (you can do them either in a frying pan with just a bit of oil or you can boil or steam them). I topped them with a little Cajun seasoning. For the salad, I mixed spinach, water chestnuts, walnuts, orange slices and the shrimp. As a dressing, I mixed together a little olive oil, lemon juice, and a sprinkling of pepper. Very yum:

And....as requested ;), here is the frankster, destroying our furniture:

Any big plans for memorial day? I'm still hoping it will somehow be sunny tomorrow and we can head to the beach. I also hope to get a run and some good food in (as always!)
