5 Years? & Meal Plan

Something crazy has happened…I have been blogging for 5 years (as of Tuesday)! I knew my blog birthday was coming up, but didn’t realize how long it had been. I plan to do some sort of giveaway to celebrate these five fun years. Anything you’d like to see in a giveaway? Have a favorite bar? A gift certificate to Trader Joes or Whole foods? A baked good from my kitchen?

This week has been nuts. Work has been a little non-stop and I have been teaching a good chunk of classes. I also have made some delicious recipes. Here are the eats for this week:

Monday: Leftover coconut cauliflower bisque 

Tuesday: Quinoa salad with black beans, corn, & pineapple (I used pineapple juice instead of lemon juice)

Wednesday: Turkey Chili

Thursday: Breakfast for dinner

Friday: Brussels sprouts pizza (more on this to come)

Saturday: Dinner out

Sunday: Coconut crab rice (except I may make it with shrimp)

Few random pictures from the week. I made peanut butter chocolate chip bars for Josh’s work bake sale fundraiser. I used this recipe and added chocolate chips:

I continued with my New Year’s resolution of giving blood every 8 weeks:

I took this guy for a bundle of walks:

I horse around with this peanut (she loves to dance around the group fitness room and sing while I get ready for class):

What are you eating this week? What would you like to see in a giveaway?

I spent lots of time with Josh, Kaylin & Frank. Josh also watched Kaylin for a bit so I could get a pedicure:

We found out they will be opening TWO Chipotle’s in Mount Pleasant, SC, one in Summerville, and one in Charleston! How exciting. LOVE Chipotle. Kay adores their black beans:
