Off to the market..
After church we headed to a farmer’s market we hadn’t been to yet! This one is in Maitland at Lake Lily. I love that it’s lined up along the lake so you don’t feel overwhelmed by huge groups of people.
It was past lunch time and we spotted a booth cooking up some yummy fare. I had an arepa(which I shared with Adam)..
I also had a bite of Adam’s steak empanada. SO DELICIOUS!! I will be getting one of those next time.
Adam took this of me walking and while I wasn’t going to put in he said, and I quote “Don’t you delete that, you put that in your blog!” here it is Adam. Happy?
We picked this up while we were there..
I have been seeing pumpkin butter all over the blog world and I have needed some..luckily we found a woman who cooks up jams, butters, and spreads. I wanted to buy at least five other jars but we restrained ourselves to this.
When we got home we split up a large apple and I dipped mine into some of that yummlicious pumpkin butter. SO GOOD! Like dessert..
We then hit up Super Target for groceries and came home to make dinner.
We started with an appetizer (which was supposed to be a side but once we had a taste, we couldn’t stop eating them!) Kale Chips! Thanks to Kath. 
This was our second batch it did not take long to devour. I ate mine with some organic ketchup and hot sauce!
I got hungry waiting for our dinner to finish so I had a cheese stick..
I waved Sunday goodbye with a beer..then dinner was served! I was so hungry I didn’t realize that I hadn’t taken a picture until I got to to this point..
Adam and I shared the celery sticks. We made baked chicken tenders with panko breadcrumbs that we added paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, and S&P to. The chicken soaked in an egg mixture with hot sauce. Baked at 375 for 15-20 minutes until cooked.
We made them healthier chicken wings with home made buffalo sauce(not as much butter as they normally make the sauce) with some vinegar and hot sauce. We shared a small side of blue cheese and celery. My favorite bite is one with a little blue cheese & a little sauce. I always get my wing sauce on the side for the perfect mix. These were much healthier then normal chicken wings and were mighty tasty! It’s all in the spices baby..
We used “steam and mash” ore ida potatoes. Once they steamed in the micro, they were mixed with plain yogurt, milk, a little smart balance and some salt.
This was a perfect “southern comfort” meal for a Sunday with the fried part!
I apologize for the picture of my dinner! My pictures have been sad. Hopefully they will look much better soon.
For dessert, of course, some more wedding cake! We each had a slice about the size as the one of the two I had last night. I also had this an hour later.
The perfect extra kick of sweetness I needed!
So, I don’t even know if I will be able to run the outback distance classic since I haven’t been running as much..at all. I was sick a few weeks ago and had to take some time off which I hate. I get so into a routine and become so motivated to workout regularly and then when I am sidelined I lose it and have to get out of being lazy and back to being active. I know the race is not too far but my legs give me issues and pushing hard since I haven’t run 3 miles since my last 5k I don’t know if I want to push it. I would much rather work out earlier and get a few miles in on my own. I think I am just going to put more effort into exercise this week and run 3 miles that morning on my own. Hopefully this week will give me the jump start I need to be motivated again. Once I get into the swing of it again I get more motivated. But it takes a few times to get back into the habit of exercising daily. I think our hotel in Jacksonville probably has a gym so that will be good. Plus I need to save my $$ for a couple races I want to do in the next couple months. I felt so guilty at first about it. But really..I am still going to run, I am still going to work out and be active. I just want to listen to my body and not be stressed out when I should be enjoying time with my family.
Some exciting things are happening this week, besides Thanksgiving, and their are so many things to be thankful for!
What are your plans for the holiday??
I am off to Jacksonville to my aunt and uncle’s house..so excited! We’ve been wanting to spend Thanksgiving there for a few years now. It’s also supposed to be a little cooler which is exciting. Have a great night!

All I want for Halloween..
..is my one right tooth???
Well, sad to say but Halloween seemed to be a bust this year! We figured we would be okay waiting a little later to get our outfit, well no such luck. Just because its not a Halloween costume doesn’t mean they won’t have your size when you finally go get it. Really bummed at that point..
Then we went to our friends house and sat in their yard handing out candy and while snacking on some, my crown fell off! Okay..no..I was NOT a princess for Halloween. See, two weeks ago I had the temporary crown for my tooth replaced with a permanent one. Apparently they did not do a good job, because two weeks later it fell out. I hate to be a downer, but it’s really stressing me out. It was the WORST pain I have ever experienced and I already have to get two cavities filled this week (I have really weak enamel) it’s just super stressing me out. I know this sounds ridiculous but it took everything in me not to break down. Halloween just hasn’t been going my way. I had to call it a night.
Sorry for the rant..I know it’s the last thing you want to hear. But we all have bad days..today was just one of them. I guess it’s like time and a half when you work on holidays..it sucks and a half when you have bad days on holidays!
Onto the rest of the day..
Started it with some Stonyfield organic probiotic yogurt. Very yummy! Also an unpictured mug of ginger tea..
As soon as I signed off with you all, we headed to Park Ave. and the Winter Park farmer’s market..I think it’s the best in the area. I love farmer’s markets but I don’t think we have great ones in Florida..it was still fun! Before we left I packed my 32 oz. of H2O, a chocolate milk, and a cheese stick.
I know, a lot of dairy but It was what I was craving! I haven’t had much of an appetite since I got sick so I just needed something to settle my stomach. It did the trick.
We made a quick stop at whole foods and picked up a snack while there.
Mmm..my first time trying the peanut butter and jelly mojo! Love it! Adam and I shared this bar before we made it to the market.
We didn’t leave with anything but I still enjoyed it! Then we walked around Park Ave. where I tried on some boots I am requesting for Christmas. Then we headed over to our favorite local coffee shop, Cup O’ Soul. I got my absolute favorite! It’s called the “llama” and it’s divine.
It’s an iced breve(espresso and skim milk or half and half. I think they use skim or low-fat milk) and toffee-nut syrup. Oh and those are COFFEE ice cubes keeping it cold! How genius is that? As it melts it adds this wonderful flavor to the drink. Perfect! I get this all the time..
We headed out and drove around doing errands the rest of the day..which included finding out we couldn’t get our costumes. I know, our fault. But we really thought we would be okay! I snacked on this Larabar sample I got from VegFest..
I wasn’t even hungry for this! My appetite is SUPER off..but I ate it because I knew my stomach would thank me. It was delish! I love this flavor.
For dinner I had the rest of my gnocchi from last night..so cheesy and potatoey. I know not a very nutritiously rounded day. I am hoping this sickness goes away soon and that my appetite comes back! It doesn’t really make for a great health blog!
Oh well, I just need to sleep this day off. Church in the morning and I get to go on stage and do the scripture reading! That is if I can breathe tomorrow..today was rough sick wise too. I currently cannot breathe through my nose. Oy..
