Summer is Back
Posted: September 26, 2009 Filed under: Uncategorized 24 Comments »Summer weather came back for the day! I took full advantage of the sunshine and instead of grading papers – we went to the dog park all afternoon. It was glorious and we had fun playing in the water with the doggie.
I ate some pretty fantastic things, too.
Dried apple rings and 2 baby frozen cookies.
A bagel sandwich that was so satisfying…
A whole wheat bagel with a little cheese (melted under the broiler) and 2 egg whites with salsa.
The dinner…oh.my.goodness.
½ sweet potato, roasted broccoli and carrots, plain yogurt and mashed avocado.
This was eye-closing good. I didn’t even want to chew it – but just hold it in my mouth and taste it forever. That’s not weird…right?
I think the only difference that I noticed regarding my post-run snack (and it could be coincidental), was that my metabolism was on fire! I snacked all day, and had pretty small meals (for me), but I was always ready for more food a couple of hours later. Not a problem for me – in fact, I prefer my food that way, so maybe there really is something to this post-run eating thing.
I will leave you with this picture of my kitties: Bagheera (Baggy) and Bellatrix.
I promise I won’t turn into the cat lady (at least not publically).
Hey! I just found your blog and I love it!!!! That bagel sandwich looks delish and that is such a great idea to mix eggwhites with salsa. Look forward to reading more! Stop by my blog and say hello!
Thank you! The salsa made the sandwich very “watery” – but the tastes were great!
I totally delay swallowing when something good is in my mouth (we are going to ignore all of the ‘that’s what she said’ implications of that and just be glad that food can be so tasty)!

Hhaa- I am glad I am not alone!
Your cats are so beautiful. You can post as many pics of them as you want in my opinion
That dinner looks spectacular and no I don’t think it’s weird that you wanted to savor it in your mouth, I totally get that. I bought some veggies for roasting so I am primed and ready for tomorrow.
Well I will tell you the cats you said so! The are very vain – they’ll love the compliment.
my appetite usually revs up after running, but it also depends on how long the run was as well. i like enjoying smaller meals throughout the day as well!

My appetite usually revs up the NEXT day – weird.
SO envious of your nice weather – it was practically a monsoon here with the rain.
I will try to send some sun your way!
Your dinner looks great!
What an interesting combo…I love all the ingredients, so I can imagine how good it must have tasted.
I must try stuffed sweet potato; it would make a great boat for so many different flavors
I had never combined all the foods before, but I thought I couldn’t go wrong with ingredients like that!
Love your cats, so cute!
Thank you! I will tell them you said so…
Awe…. give Baggie and Bella a little hug. Good lookin food too!
Thanks Mama! I will hug them for you.
Your sweet potato looks so good! I love black beans on mine. Next time though I am going to try one of my favorite combos after getting the avocado idea from you. Sweet potato, avocado, black beans and cheddar. Num!
Have a great day

That’s so funny you say that – while I was eating I said….”I really think black beans would be good with sweet potatoes!” – I am glad to know it will be a success!
hahaha…no cat lady for you! i am loving that sweet potato mess – looks so good!
enjoy the sunshine, it just got cloudy here
I have to repress my cat-lady tendencies. I am glad I am married because I walk a very thin line when it comes to love for those kitties.
I hope the sunshine comes to you soon!
Your cats are too cute!
And the sweet potato concoction looks wonderful! I’m thinking I need to try it soon.
Hah, thank you! They are pretty photogenic creatures.
I love the names of your cats! Thanks for sharing another photo of them. Almost makes me want to get one. The girls would LOVE it if I did. I’m just not sure I can deal w cat hair again! ;D
Thanks! The names are both from book characters (Jungle Book and Harry Potter – two of our favorites!) The cat hair is pretty unmanageable – especially with a dog, too! Lots of vacuuming. They’re worth it….usually.
