It’s the perfect day for a cup of Hot Cocoa
A savory salad made with mushrooms, beets, yellow peppers, and egg whites cooked in coconut oil
A Pumpkin Spice candle burning in the kitchen
And an evening spin class.
Be thankful for the little things <;3
I have a cough.
I can’t stop sneezing.
And the only cure for my sickness is currently cooking away in the crock pot.
Find out it is what at the end of this post 
So..Hot & Sweet Mustard is back in my pantry, and I’ve been putting it on anything, and everything, that I can.

wild arugula, chopped sweet potato, kumato tomatoes and shredded chicken
But if you’re not a fan of mustard, or do not have a Trader Joe’s in your area, I also have another dressing that’s every peanut lovers dream.
2 tbsp. Peanut Flour + 1/3 of Water: Mix to desired consistency, and drizzle over your salad, stir fry, or even your Sunday morning pancakes.
spinach,baby carrots, broccoli and egg white scramble, topped with peanut flour dressing and a sprinkle of cinnamon for a hint of sweetness.
This dressing resembles the peanut sauce that you find at Japanese restaurants, which Matt and I went to this weekend to tackle our Sushi craving head on.
Salmon Maki and Tekka (tuna) Maki with brown rice and extra ginger
Luckily, Matt doesn’t like ginger, so I got it all to myself

Brunch at Stephi’s on Tremont
A.K.A: Best breakfast of my life!
Fresh fruit salad with yogurt and homemade granola
Egg white omelet with spinach, onions, mushroom and tomato.
Matt ate my home fries, and I ate his French toast 
Thick brioche in a light egg batter, topped with the perfect amount of marmalade cream cheese.
This is what French Toast is suppose to taste like; Melt in your mouth deliciousness!
Post breakfast, Matt and I had to shoot over to one of his jobs around the corner.
Welcome to the life of an Electrician’s Girlfriend
My Job: Wait in the work van, and don’t get towed.
Success!
Just call me the Boss.
Then it was off to Trader Joe’s for some weekly necessities, which included my raw almond butter, and Matt’s favorite Minestrone soup.
Love when my fridge is full 
It’s been a successful Sunday so far, and since it’s my rest day, I’m parking it on the couch with a blanket, a movie, and cup of Hazelnut coffee with cinnamon and Stevia in the raw.
Perfection.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday
True story.
I love coffee
It’s aroma can get me out of bed in seconds, and taking that first sip is like drinking a cup of warm and cozy blankets.
Then it’s buzzing affects hit and off to work I go! Best of both worlds 
Whether in liquid form, ice cream, candle or grinded with chocolate and sugar…
(best stuff ever)
coffee is my one vice that I refuse to go without.
Any why should I?
Coffee benefits. 1-2 cups a day.
Of course, just like everything else, coffee should be consumed in moderation. It is a natural stimulant, so a sudden increase in heart rate and trouble sleeping may occur. Try to have your last cup no later than 4 hours before bedtime, and always have your water bottle close by to avoid dehydration.
Also if you are an expecting mother, along with an avid coffee drinker, talk to your doctor about any risks or concerns you may have.
Along with my usual Newman’s Own Organic coffee this morning, I made a protein shake to drink in the car on the way to a clients house.
1cup Unsweetened Almond milk, 3/4 cup pasteurized liquid egg whites, 1/2T unsweetened cocoa powder, handful of spinach, and 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries.
Fills you right up with energy!
After my training session, I ran straight to Trader Joe’s to grab a bunch of items before the morning rush filled the aisles.
I’m trying to avoid having to go to the grocery store tomorrow before the Super bowl, but I’m sure something will turn up where I’ll have to tackle someone for the last bag of Tostitos and salsa.
I’ll make sure to wear a helmet, a Patriots helmet that is!
Post workout/Trader Joe’s meal: Chocolate Almond butter Frozen Yogurt
1 container of Plain Chobani,1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder,1/2T raw almond butter. Mixed with 1/3c Kashi GoLean Original and a handful of fresh blueberries,
Place in freezer for 5 minutes and enjoy.
Off to seize the day!
Have a happy and healthy Saturday! xoxo
I’ve recently converted to Raw Almond Butter over Roasted Almond Butter.
Raw
Roasted
Though it’s a personal preference, I found in terms of texture and taste, Raw AB has my vote.
I love the grindy (is that a word?) and thick texture of the butter, along with the natural flavor that the almonds possess.
From the MaraNatha Website:
Try it out and see if you like it!
I purchased my jar at Trader Joe’s, but I’m sure you will find it at another grocery store as well

Breakfast: Strawberry Banana Protein Oats
1/2 T of Raw AB
Served along side Newman’s Own Organic coffee with Truvia and a relaxing Eucalyptus candle.
