How’s your weekend going? Mine has been quite fabulous and today in particular has been lovely. Perfect warm weather, enjoyable company, and great eats.
I woke up to a bowl of oatmeal, oatbran combo cooked with an egg white and topped with a chocolate macaroon and some better n pb. This was quite delicious- I loved the coconut macaroon topping!
For lunch I met food bloggers Christie (What I ate Yesterday) and Jessy (HappyVeganFace) at PF Chang’s for lunch. I have met Christie before, but this was my first time meeting up with Jessy. It was a blast. I hope to see more of these girls in the future. At the Farmer’s Market per se. 
If you haven’t checked out these ladies’ blogs, please do. Christie uses her blog as a food journal but is also starting an Inspiration Series that will highlight quotes, songs, or stories that move her – she is also taking submissions for inspirations from readers. And of course she also features some delicious recipes! Jessy and her (hubby/bf?) Dan are always cooking up lovely vegan eats and sharing their creations at HappyVeganFace. I hear they make some awesome bean burgers. I can’t wait to try one of their recipes.
For lunch I debated between the veggie lettuce and wraps and Buddha’s Feast. I ended up ordering the Buddha’s Feast Stir-fried with brown rice.
Yum! This picture turned out quite nicely. Outdoor lighting is a food bloggers best friend. As usaul Buddha didn’t treat me wrong and the meal was delicious!!
I shopped around the mall a little before heading home. To help with my mission of being more successful with my strength training, I decided to go pro and get a pair of training gloves at Dick’s (seriously who names a store this?). Anyways, here are my new spiffy gloves. I can’t wait to try them out. I’ll let you know how it goes.
I’m hoping these will allow me to do more reps because the palms of my hands hurt/start to form little calluses when I do a lot of weight work for my arms.
Once home, Olive and I went outside. I enjoyed the sunshine while Olive tinkled and I was munched on one of the best cookies eva, Gina‘s Blonde Macaroon.
Featured above: a little peice of heaven on earth (I’m not kidding). But you wanna know what a sweetie I am? I shared my macaroons with Jessy and Christie. I gave them each a blonde and chocolate to try!! It was hard to give em up, but I thought the best cookies ever needed to be shared with these two lovely ladies.
