Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your kind, thoughtful, and inspiring responses to yesterday’s post. You’re all the best!
Home sweet home!
I kid you not, I could not stop smiling when we were driving closer to my house here in New York. It’s so good to be back!
I was also probably smiling because I could finally get off my butt after 20+ hours. I thought I was going to explode like TNT at one point. Oh, and there were some train passengers that we’re pretty sure kept passing gas, and since mom and I were in one of the smaller, enclosed cabins, it was a little {VERY} hard to breathe. Not cool. Nevertheless, I am very thankful for safe and swift travels overall!
My moves before we left for the autotrain station: Jess’ quick bodyweight countdown workout! Push-ups have gotten harder… 😉
There are some food items I want to share with you from this past week— from both Florida and New York— that never made it on the blog until now!
Sharing the noms on Jenn‘s blog!
Florida breakfast: overnight oats in a sunflower seed butter jar (plus a little more peanut butter because there wasn’t enough sunflower seed butter left at the bottom 😀 )
NY breakfast: more of Kath’s peach dough boy smoothie (plus peanut butter blended in!)
Florida lunch: “Asian tacos” aka Daliza’s leftover corn tortillas and carrots + Chinese takeout leftovers
Florida lunch: Mom’s udon noodles with tofu and eggs + side salad
Last Florida lunch: Sushi at Amura!…
…with doodles on the side
Delaware lunch (from Virginia autotrain station to NY): split a turkey-brie-apple-mustard sandwich and bistro salad with momma
Delaware treat: Cinnabon sans frosting split with mom
Florida + NY snacks: All Dried Up Snacks from Orlando Farmers’ Market! The naked onion rings are the best!
Florida dinner: toast with avocado, spring mix, scrambled eggs, and ketchup
NY dinner: big salad + toast with almond butter + scrambled eggs with ketchup
Florida dessert: Lucky Charms!!! This made me so happy.
When we were in Florida, I made Daliza and my family members the same breakfast as me almost every day, so that basically doubled the rate of nut butter consumption (not to mention the random spoonfuls, smoothies, and peanut butter sandwiches). We went through a large, Costco-sized peanut butter jar, a whole sunflower seed butter jar, and then another regular Publix peanut butter jar in just three weeks. Champs!
I have some errands and appointments today, and I’m actually pretty pumped to be on some sort of schedule again. I already visited Daliza, went on a short run/walk with Mike, and went grocery shopping last night!
{Story time: Daliza was coincidentally at the grocery store with her cousin when I went, but apparently I walked by without seeing her. So she snuck up behind me and squeezed my sides, which caused me to let out a wild, loud scream in the middle of the produce section. THANK YOU SO MUCH, DALIZA.}
That’s all for now, folks! Hope you have a beautiful day!
So tell me:
What was your favorite snack this past week?
Do you like Cinnabons?
Do your friends like to scare you to death?

Ok those veggie chips look amazing! I must look into how to make them….!
I think they use a dehydrator!
I want to put that PIZZA without the crust on some of those eggs from your UDON!! YUM! 🙂
Oh and I def want sushi for lunch now!
Wait that’s a fantastic idea!! I’ll do that in your honor 🙂
Welcome home!!!! So many delicious eats!
Ok let’s get down to business…
I’m messy yogurt bowls with nut butter, fruit, and some sort of carby deliciousness (muffin, graham crackers, cereal)
Love cinnabuns!!! Although Pillsbury makes some tasty ones too! Me and my brother would make them sometimes on Saturday mornings and finish the whole tin😳
I wish I had a bff to scare the crap out of me!! Lol you and Daliza are lucky to have eachother!
Pillsbury ones are awesome too, I agree. Just cinnamon and sugar anything, really. 😉
Aww that’s true— I’m beyond happy to have that little stinker, Daliza, in my life!
I had the stomach flu last weekend and the only thing I was able to eat during the span of two days was a massive cinnamon bun. I prefer the ones with cream cheese frosting though. Or when they’re warm & gooey from the oven.
Oh yeah, I’m sorry to hear that! But at least you could eat the cinnamon bun. That helps a ton. They made ours fresh (since we didn’t want the frosting that was already on the other ones), so it was warm and gooey and epic.
I spy Lucky Charms! 😀 Yesssss! If I didn’t currently have a stomach ache from eating way too much chocolate granola, I’d be all over those. As it stands, I’ll be jealous tomorrow 😛 And I didn’t get a chance to comment on your last post, but I just wanted to say that I’m SO happy for you, girlie, and I can relate so much to that kind of mindset. My body is a lot different now than how it used to be, yet I feel happier and healthier than ever. It’s basically kind of awesome 😀
Thanks so much, Amanda. I’m so happy that you feel happier and healthier than ever too! It’s kinda REALLY awesome 🙂
Sunflower butter is the absolute bomb! There needs to be more appreciation for that besides all the almond and peanut butters out there.
Word!
Yum i havent had a Cinnamon bun in ages ! looks delish !
That story was awesome! I’ve had a friend do that to me too. I hate the girly scream that is involuntary 🙂
Right?? Except my scream was more like a drag queen + a bird.
You know what’s the best part about reading your WIAW these days [other than the glorious food you showcase of course]? The fact that I no longer feel a tug of curiosity when spotting sunflower seed butter 😀 .Worth the waste. Okay, almost.
Aaaahh Cinnabon! Brings back memories of a whirlwind holiday in the Cape; chocolate cinnabon for dinner..yes 🙂 .
Haahaha Daliza is such a cracker 😀 ! We need a Daliza in my city.
I think I’ll just send Daliza over there so she doesn’t try to kill me anymore 😉
I have never been more offended on a blog post until now.
Cinnabon SANS FROSTING???????
It was my mom’s decision! The good part: they had to make ours fresh since all the ones already made had frosting on them. It was hot, gooey, and doughy, so HA.
Those dried veggie snacks look insane!!! All I want in life is a dehydrator to be able to make that stuff at home! Okay I want a few more things but a dehydrator would be a nice surprise 🙂
I want a friendship like yours and Daliza’s!
Cinnabon without frosting = genius! I just imagined what it tasted like, and I thoroughly approve.
Yes, I want some dried crustless pizza!
It is pure, doughy cinnamon goodness. And the crustless pizza is awesome!
