Yesterday was about as perfect a day off as I could imagine. We went to the gym in the morning, hit up Joe's and Whole Foods, and then came home and took a 2.5 hour long nap. It was amazing. I don't know if the sudden cold weather is 100% to blame, but I did not feel like being out and about. I spent the rest of the afternoon in sweats, baking/cooking/creating in the kitchen, ate dinner with the husband, and watched Modern Family on the couch for the rest of the night. It made me so happy.
My creations:
A batch of pumpkin chocolate chip protein balls, which were adapted from this recipe.
Some goat cream cheese:
Which I "made" by mixing a log of goat cheese with about a cup of goat's milk.
And two jars full of spicy salsa verde, which we ate with the chicken burritos my husband made:
For some inconceivable reason, my husband isn't as crazyobsessed with this salsa verde as I am. I guess he thinks he has some kind of refined salsa palate because he's from New Mexico? Whatever, I love this stuff. It's an El Salvadorean salsa recipe that I learned at work, and I've been eating it on as much as possible ever since I got up the nerve to try it. It's so spicy that when I rinse the blender out at work after making it, the air becomes spicy and I start coughing up a storm. A little dot goes a long way.
The cat stared longingly at our plates from across the counter:
It was a lazy night, followed by a lazy morning. We bundled up in all the warm clothes we could find and walked down to the farmers market for some radishes, and then into DSW so I could get some warm shoes. My Uggs are on their last limb, and I realized I'm lacking in normal shoes.
I feel like I should be lazy on weekends more often. Ever since we got here our weekends have been packed full of errands, but relaxing allows me to recharge before the start of another work week.
Have a great Saturday night!
