Did I Forget?

Somehow it slipped my mind that I’m running a 10k Turkey Trot in oh…

THREE DAYS??!!

My bad.  It’s going to ROCK though, cause I’m running it with my brothers, and well, they make everything more fun.

Anyhow, I thought I would share with you the Stuffed Portabello Mushrooms we made for my dad for dinner last night.  We took some leftover rice, mixed in a bit of Mrs. Dash, some Morningstar Farms Crumbles and topped it with bell peppers, then cheese at the last minuteWe baked it for about 20 minutes at 375 and it was just enough to soften up the mushroom…Dad said it was tasty!

I had a similar veggie filled dinner: Spaghetti squash, broccoli, marinara, laughing cow and chickpeas…with a pita on the side.  I know, so boring and you’ve definitely seen it before.  My creative juices just aren’t flowing right now…I wish I could steel them from Meghann, she always has such great ideas.

And a few pieces of this Clementine, just off the tree.  It was super tart!

I ended the night with a piece of my whole wheat black berry bread with dark chocolate dreams, and then afterwards decided to top it with a banana…my 6 mile run from earlier (in 53.38) potassium depleted my muscles!

I watched Australia last night (because really, how can you not like Hugh Jackmanhot hot hot) and then read on of my Dean Koontz novels that I read long time ago…then hit the hay.

I woke up this morning totally groggy…and just having dreamt that Mark Harman had kissed me on the cheek.  What?  Yeah, weirdddddd.

It’s cold here and in all seriousness, I’m a bit nervous about that, since I lack proper cold weather running gear I know I’ll need Thursday morning for my 7am 10k race.  Not quite sure what I’m going to do about that, since I lack the $$ to buy warmer clothes.  Ack.

Anyhow, I wanted oats this morning…and I’m just realized after Shelly asked what our favorite oatmeal combos are…that I only make two kinds of oats!  I’m so boring…CREATIVE JUICES COME TO ME!  Goodness gracious.  My oats included:

  • 1/3C old fashioned oats
  • water
  • 1.5T cranberries
  • cinnamon
  • Banana
  • 1/2T each natural pb and dark chocolate dreams

It was good…but it was boring.  Gah.

Off to try and be creative in more ways than one…

HA! My creative juices consiste of me standing in front of a fridge and just throwing what ever looks appetizing on the counter and combining it.

Running with your brothers sounds so much more fun then running on your own. I have to run just to keep with my bro, he walks so fast.
I think your oats look yummy, if it aint broke dont fix it
