Recent Meals + I’ve Grown Up So Much

This week is flying by!

The weather has been nice which has made for great running weather. I truly love running this time of year and won’t even mind when it gets even hotter! Early sunrises and warm weather are just the best for me as a morning runner.

I have a few recent meals to share today.

While I shared a photo of my Red Mango parfait in Monday’s post, what I didn’t point out was what was in the parfait.

I ordered my usual, the mixed berry parfait with original yogurt but normally, I sub the bananas for dark chocolate chips.

This time, they were out of dark chocolate chips. There was a time when that would have upset me so much that I would have canceled the whole parfait order. This time, however, I said no problem I’ll just have the bananas then.

I’ve grown up so much, don’t you think?

Sushi is becoming a regular in my life again. While I will order and try different rolls, I always come back to spicy tuna naruto and peanut avocado rolls.

My friend and I both had the spicy-sweet peppers in our salads from Chopt and the peppers were so spicy that we couldn’t speak at times while eating. I think I have to stop the spicy peppers in my Chopt order.

I made this simple dinner after work one night when I needed something fast. I love chickpea pasta in sauce and a sprinkle of cheese. So simple and so good.

One more thing for today! I have a few Levain Bakery cookies in my freezer and get excited at night to take one out to have a few bites. The cookies are so big and thick that only a few bites are enough to make me happy.

Hi! I'm Meredith. Join me while I run and cook my way through single motherhood. It is always an adventure trying to teach my 12 year old son the benefits of an active lifestyle combined with healthy eating while of course, still leaving room for dessert.
