Lots of veggies in my life this week! Salads, sandwiches, roasted, baked…you name it!
A salad for lunch: mixed greens, bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, corn (frozen…thawed by lunch!), carrots, and goat cheese!
These greenies were transformed into Kale Chips!
and a super hummus veggie sandwich!
- lemon hummus
- avocado
- tomato
- mixed greens
- orange bell pepper
- carrots
- pickles
- sriracha!
SOO GOOD! I had many versions of this sandwich for lunches this week :)
Look at this MINI bell peppers I found at TJ’s!! They look like hot peppers but they are just miniature sweet bell peppers…about as long as a finger. SO CUTE!
I roasted them up tonight… so sweet and a delicious roasted flavor.
I’ve been varying my coffee this week. Some days I’ll brew with the coffee maker, another with the French Press
and of course a foamy cappuccino!
Obviously I’ve eaten more than veggies this week but those are the ones I wanted to share :)
I also made a batch of Ellie Krieger’s Cherry Walnut Bars! My old roommate used to make these once in a while and I haven’t had them since then :( I was CRAVING these babies!
Dry ingredients:
chopped cherries:
Batter! Mmm looks like oatmeal.
Baked:
Apricot preserves heated to glaze:
All glazed up!
delish! 
Work It Out
Ok, so today is the first day my foot has noticeably felt better…so annoying.
Monday: Body Combat: I took it easy with the foot work, luckily there isn’t much, so I still got a great workout.
Tuesday: I would of gone to dance class but I decided to take it easy because dance is very “foot” intensive and I basically wear bare feet so there’s no support.
Wednesday: Normal day off because of a class for work
Thursday (tonight!): Still trying to not push the foot so I did 15min on the bike, and then BODY PUMP!! Whoa man! My arms and thighs are SO worn out. Such a great all over strength workout…I’ll be feeling this tomorrow.
Weekend: I want to get in Hot Yoga, and an easy run/walk. I’ve read a lot about Plantar Fasciitis this week and I think with lots of stretching, adding heel/arch inserts, and icing…I should be able to keep this under control.
I think it was partly because my run last weekend was a big increase in mileage for me, and I am not great with stretching before runs…lesson learned.
Those bars look fantastic! I'm going to have to make them-- also, your veggies are fantastically insane!

Glad you're taking it easy on that foot. Thrilled to hear you loved pump! Its an addiction ;) Have a great weekend
ReplyDeleteI love veggie sandwiches! My favorite additions are avocado or marinated mushrooms -- they add some "meat" to them! Glad your foot is feeling a little better.
