Lately I have been so busy! This has been a great week, not only have my work outs been on point, it was valentines day!!! I had the best valentine ever.... Words cannot describe how sweet the evening was ;) I felt loved and spoiled. I would share pics but I suck at taking pics when it is the most special times. I feel so boring right now so I haven't blogged much lately. My week consist of gym, work, eating, puppy play time, vday festivities, and church twice. It's amazing how much therapy I find in attending church. It has made my entire week better just by feeling closer to God. I'm so excited for the upcoming months.... I think some big changes are going to happen... To be continued ;)

I'm Dreaming of a White..... sandy beach!!!!

Holy snow! Who knew that we would wake up today with a blanket of cold white fluffy stuff on the ground? Guess I need to start watching the local new because it was a total surprise to me. I always turn the TV on 1st thing in the AM to look at the temp since I have to take the fluffy muffy out a.k.a. Bentley Boo but this morning I laid in bed for an extra long time because my motivation juices were not pumping this morning when in my half sleep half awake state I hear the news people on TV talking about how bad the roads were... that can never be a positive reason to come out from under my amazing flannel sheets. But after B licked my face and I threw him off of my head about 3 times I finally was awake enough to realize that he probably had to pee super bad and if I didn't take him out it would be on my rug at the front door and I really didn't want to do any extra laundry today.

One of my resalution for this year was to keep my blog up and I am going myself a C+ on this... I need to start doing better!! After having dinner this weekend at BRGR I have been craving garlic cilantro fries!!! I found this recipe online today and cannot wait to try it tomorrow! The best thing is, I already had everything at home so don't even have to make a trip to the grocery store. Still trying to figure out what else to have since I am in charge of lunch for the boo tomorrow (Valentines Day) Since its up to me, lunch will consist of home made black bean patties and this delish garlic cilantro fry recipe that I found on food gawker today  

Ingredients (2-3 servings)

•5-6 yukon gold potatoes, cut into thin fries

•2 Tbsp olive oil

•1/4 – 1/2 tsp garlic powder

•1/2 – 3/4 tsp sea salt

•pepper

•1/4 c. loosely packed cilantro leaves, finely chopped

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees, and get a baking sheet with rack ready (if no rack, just line with foil/parchment paper and drizzle with olive oil. Cut the potatoes into fries and place in a bowl of cold water to soak for a few minutes.

Drain the water and dry the fries with paper towel. Once dry, toss the fries with the olive oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Lay on a baking sheet in a single layer, preferably one that has a cooking rack so the fries can have the air circulating all around them (and no need to flip.) Bake for 20-25 minutes depending on your oven and how crispy you like your fries. If using a baking sheet without a rack, halfway through the cooking time, flip the fries.

Once done, toss fries with cilantro in a bowl.

EnJoY with a big bowl of ketchup! (FYI I love ketchup)

I will let you know how they turn out... but not tomorrow. Tomorrow I will be busy with my Valentine ;) :) =) *<3*

What could be more fun than a Color Run!? Right now I can't think of much... (Okay, maybe I could think of a couple things but you know me and you know I LOVE TO RUN) Anyways, signing up today for the Color Run even though its only a 5K I can't wait to be painted in a rainbow of colors as I run.  Still looking for a good 10K and maybe a half marathon in the near future.... any ideas? Something fun!!! Let's go run!
