WIAW: Parfaits, Pumpkin, & Potatoes

by Tiff

Thanks for checking out my What I Ate Wednesday post.  Did you know this is the last WIAW before Christmas?  Squeeeeeee!  If you haven’t already, check out Peas & Crayons for other WIAW posts.

Breakfast: 1st Breakfast, a lil’ pb on a rice cake, 2nd Breakfast: Greek yogurt parfait with blackberries

breakfast     parfait

Lunch: Leftovers of Monday night’s dinner (it was worth repeating) with a slice of bread

pasta

Snack: Two packages arrived today.  I got a new vacuum, which is good except that now I actually have to use it, and I got a Christmas delivery of Harry & David pears.  So pretty!  I ate one with a handful of chips.  (whoops)

vacuum     pears

Dinner & Dessert: jerk turkey burgers, sweet potato “fries” and green beans, followed by a pumpkin muffin

dinner     muffin

Side Note: I had a good 3-mile run and a ballin’ leg session yesterday at the gym.  I also went for a 1-mile walk after work for fun.
Extra Side Note: The “first breakfast” and “second breakfast” labels mean a little more to me now that I’m reading The Hobbit.  Elevensies?
  • Got plans to read/watch The Hobbit?  Already seen/read it?
  • Getting excited for Christmas?  Honestly, it’s too warm here to feel like Christmas, but I’m excited to see my family soon.

What A Jerk

by Tiff

I wasn’t going to post today, but I really really really had to share a recipe I found the other day.  I made these jerk turkey burgers on Sunday night, and I made them again Monday night.  Wow – just freakin’ wow.

Okay, I didn’t exactly follow the recipe.  I omitted the slaw topping.  I also accidentally omitted the grated apple.  Yeah, I totally forgot about it even though I bought one at the store.  Lastly, I used a half oats and half breadcrumbs, as opposed to 100% breadcrumbs.

While the grill was hot, Kevin and I threw on some corn, and we had some there on the side.  I have to admit, I usually omit scallions from recipes (cheap & lazy), but they really added to the meal.  Touché Scallions.

As long as I’m linking up, I may as well share a new workout I tried last week.  I tried one of Christina’s HIIT workouts with treadmill sprints and other fun stuff.  I enjoyed it, but my lats were surprisingly sore the next day.  I guess those decline pushups were harder than anticipated!

Sorry for the random cat pics.  We had a little photo session Sunday.  I need to figure out this dang camera already!

 

  • Got a DSLR?  If so – how’d you learn to use it???
  • Tried a good workout lately?  If so – link up!
