Weekend Haps and Superfruit winners

This weekend has been a whirlwind of non stop studying. Isaac is getting ready to head to the Maryland/DC area for the summer this Monday (boo-hiss) for Montessori Training. Needless to say, he has A LOT of projects to turn in next week so he’s been working his tush off, and I have been studying for my mid-term on Monday. I hadn’t really said anything on the blog, but I am taking an online Nutrition course at a local school. Can I just say that taking college courses, after having 2 years off is HARD, especially when you are working full time… whew! Despite all the school work going on we did manage to relax a bit. Here are some highlights…

Friday night dinner consisted of zucchini pasta with left over sauce per Isaac’s mid week pasta creation. Love that he keeps his sauce vegetarian and doesn’t mix it in with the noodles. I would tell you what was in his pasta sauce if I knew, but I wasn’t home when he made it so I don’t really know. I do know that it was SPICY! After eating this I was feeling hot, hot, hot!

P.S. I don’t soak or boil my vegetable noodles, just julienne, top, and eat!

Breakfast on both Saturday and Sunday morning looked like this… the infamous Chia Seed Oats with banana cooked right in and a little Better N’ PB on side. For some reason the bananas aren’t this viewable in other oatmeal pics I taken, but I love how you can really see the bananas in this one.

As you’ve probably noticed, I’ve started to reclaim my love for Better N PB (BNPB) and I pretty much eat a spoonful with my oats every morning. For those of you who haven’t seen this product before here’s a mug shot and if you feel inclined- check out my review.

In other news, I finally got my butt in gear on a Saturday morning and went to the South of the James @ Forest Hill Farmers Market. This little journey meant that I skipped my usual Saturday morning spin class, but I think it was well worth it. There were lots of booths with crafts, local made food products, samples, and of course, VEGETABLES. I got some locally grown produce (a bag of spring mix, a round and 2 regular yellow zucchini, a cucumber, and gorgeous flowers).

How lovely is this zucchini?

And only $5.00 for this custom made bouquet.

Amy, who was making the bouquets, was totally sweet and if you live in or near Richmond, her flowers are now available at Ellwood Thompson’s.

Last but not least, I’m sure your wondering who won the The Crofter’s Superfruit Spread Giveaway!! Well, the giveaway was was a big hit and lots of people were interested in trying their unique flavors.

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. Something else kind of big (at least in my little world) happened this weekend but I don’t have all the necessary things to do a post about it yet. I hope to release the news sometime this week….
