While it may technically be summer break, I still managed to find a pile of snow lingering around!

Today is my father-in-law’s birthday!

My in-laws: Steve & Kelly

We celebrated last night with dinner at our place.

(Ha, ha! Craig’s cutie patootie got in the picture!)

On the menu:

White Bean Dip with Food Should Taste Good Multigrain chips

Everyone enjoyed the dip. It could have had a little less garlic though.

Kristin posted a recipe for this Asian Noodle Salad the other week, and I knew I would be trying it soon!!

Oh my goodness gracious!! This was ahh-mazing—so, so, so, good!

Everyone was raving about how delicious and flavorful it was! We all loved the fresh ingredients it had!

You must make it now!!

Fresh fruit: something you can never go wrong with!

Watermelon

This was a must because ever since my father-in-law was little, he got watermelon on his birthday.

(Locals: I got this at Costco, but it wasn’t that sweet.)

Dessert: French Silk Pie

Absolutely divine!! Creamy, chocolately, and absolutely amazing!!

Recipe can be found here.

Time to serve it up!

Muahahaha!!

Today has been filled with miscellaneous activities:

- blog posting

- lunch with Craig

- a little shopping

And a much-needed eye brow wax.

I went to The Beauty Room based off a recommendation.

Overall, I had a good experience. My appointment did start 15 minutes late, which was kind of annoying, but the gal was apologetic for running behind.

A relaxing night is in store for me—something I don’t get to do when I am working!!

Back at It

After a one-week hiatus from the gym, Craig and I were back at it tonight! :)

A couple of hours before going to the gym, I had an apple as an afternoon snack.

I was a little worried there would be too much fiber in the apple and cause me to feel bloated when running this evening, but all was good!

It was nice to get back to the gym and lift some weights (25 minutes). I also ran 3 miles on the treadmill.

After the gym, I devoured this wrap:

tortilla + mayo + mustard + lettuce + deli turkey + shredded cheese + red bell pepper + avocado + ground pepper

I sure hope you don’t get tired of seeing these wraps because I definitely have not gotten tired of eating them. . . . yet, but eventually I am sure that will change because it always does. (Can we say: granola bars and chicken?)

After the gym, we stopped at the grocery store to grab a few things. While we were there, we saw these chips on sale, so we picked up a bag. We have loved every Food Should Taste Good product we’ve ever had and these did not disappoint!

For dessert I had this cute little heart-shaped cupcake one of my students made for me!

The rest of the night, I did my best to relax on the couch. I am such a busy-body though it is hard for me to sit still, but I tried. ;)

Tomorrow is a half-day at school, so I only teach classes in the morning, and then I have teacher in-service the second half of the day! :)

Rain, rain, go away. . . . once again it was raining on my our run this morning. That’s right, Craig joined me for a run this morning. I did two miles on my own, and then he joined me for the last three. It is nice to have some company every once in a while–otherwise all my runs are solo.

During our run, I was day dreaming of hot pancakes right off the griddle! So as soon as I returned home, I got busy in the kitchen.

Greek Yogurt Pancakes, bacon from my parent’s farm, and fresh organic strawberries. That really hit the spot this morning. My mouth is still watering thinking about them!

Craig has his infamous Bacon Pancakes.

Yesterday I went to Natural Pantry here in Anchorage. I don’t go to this grocery store often because it isn’t that close to where we live, but my friend was telling me about some food products she had gotten there that I had been wanting to try for a while.

Food Should Taste Good Chips

I was so excited to score these for $2.29 a piece! Usually they are at least $3. Plus, they had some flavors I haven’t had a chance to try yet: The Works and Blue Corn! They also had their Chocolate Chips–is that legal? As much as I want to try them, I just want to sample a couple, so I left them on the shelf. (The Lime chips are Craig’s favorite.)

Siggi’s Yogurt

I have seen many bloggers eat Siggi’s yogurt, but I did not think I would be able to find it anywhere in Anchorage. When my friend told me she eats Siggi’s and found it at Natural Pantry, I was estatic! I made a beeline for the dairy foods as soon as I got into the store to find this long-awaited treasure.

As soon as I got home, I sampled this guy to see what it was all about. This Icelandic yogurt was SO thick! I think it is thicker than Greek yogurt! Now I will admit, the first few bites were a little weird because I expected it to taste like yogurt. While it had the consistancy of Greek yogurt, it didn’t exactly taste like regular yogurt. And to be quite honest, I am not sure I can accuratly describe the taste of this yogurt. However, after the inital few bites, my spoon kept reaching for more.

Check out the nutrition facts! I don’t think you can get much better than:

- 0 grams of fat

- 65 mg of sodium

- 10 g of sugar

- 16 g of protein

What an awesome product, but I had to pay a pretty penny for it–$3.19. (yikes!)

Doctor Kracker: The Klassic 3 Seed Kracker ($3.09)

Once again, this was a product I’ve seen other bloggers eat and rave about–and another product my friend had told me she’d gotten at Natural Pantry.

I sampled these yesterday–and like the Siggi’s yogurt–I wasn’t quite sure what to think at first. They definitely have a good crunch to them and a pleasant flavor, but I wasn’t loving them. I am wondering though if I just picked a bad flavor. I am willing to give them a second try though, and I could definitely see them growing on me.

My final new product were some more crackers I’ve heard good reviews about. They weren’t quite as expensive–$2.79. I haven’t tried them yet, but when I do, I’ll be sure to review them for you.

Adios! Off to have lunch with Craig.
