Food should be fun
Oh man, I'm enjoying a serious content belly at the moment. As a result, I thought I'd share some of the good eats we've been having around here.
The perfect chocolate chip cookies (with nearly 2 sticks of butta)
Personal flat out wrap veggie pizzas
Sunday night I made cherry chip cupcakes for the coworkers. I made them slightly healthier by using some yogurt to sub for 1/2 the oil and 1 flax egg for 1 of the 3 eggs.
Manfriend's white chocolate mocha from Perugino Tuesday night. I LOVE when they make a cool design on top.
And finally, last night's ricotta/spinach/onion stuffed manicotti.
The gooeyness makes my heart happy.
After looking at some of these delish eats from the past two weeks, it's a good thing a) I've also eaten a few salads and green smoothies and b) I've exercised a decent amount.
Let's be honest, I love food. I believe meals and snacks should be tasty and fun to make. If cooking for yourself or a loved one feels like a chore, find a recipe you've been drooling over, spend a Sunday afternoon and just get your cook on. Don't stress over it. Enjoy the process and ultimately, the finished product.
Yesterday was flurry of action: biked to and from work on my heavy ole mountain bike (5.75 mi each way), ran 4 miles of trails at lunch and then finished the day with another crazy Lifeforce Fit class. My calves are begging for mercy (or more foam rolling).
What one fun recipe/ concoction have you put together lately?

I ate an entire big bag of M&M's in 2.5 days. Sigh. Does that count as "fun food"? Lol. I had good intentions of making cookies with them but then got too busy and in the habit of grabbing a random handful here and there. Next thing I know, they are gone!
Amber-Yeah, having candy around is so easy for me to just munch on it constantly.
