Super Weekend

By

How hilarious is Gus in this picture?! Is he smiling or doing a version of the grimacing face emoji?!

If I zoom out you’ll see that Mazen was rubbing his belly and he was, in fact, very happy : )

We had such a long and fun weekend that I’m breaking it into two posts! We were so happy to have warm weather for most of the weekend, and we spent a lot of time outside!

I’ve been craving sandwiches lately, and had this bad boy with some chips on Friday. Not as healthy as a hugh jass salad, but totally hit the spot! Havarti cheese is the winning ingredient.

On Friday night I made these sweet potato and black bean enchiladas that date back to a 2010 blog post! A friend had found the recipe and asked me about it, and I remembered how good they were when I revisited the post! It’s so weird to read old blog posts – sometimes it doesn’t even feel like I’m reading about myself…

This recipe is SO EASY and also vegetarian. Served with a nice salad! (And a Halloween napkin – ha!)

And this wine is sooo good! It’s from the Winc Wine Club, which I love, and it’s my favorite white of the bunch so far. I ordered it a second time.

On Saturday morning, Mazen and I made French toast. Note to self: I need to swing by Great Harvest and pick up some swirl bread next weekend! Served with sunbutter and grapes.

Saturday mid-day we went for a run with Thomas and Gus. Thomas and I took turns pushing the stroller, which is like 75 pounds now with such a big boy in it. Mazen gets out to run with us as much as he wants, but, to be honest, that’s not much at all. Boy gets tired fast and wants back in stat. Haha. He prefers to chill.

On Saturday afternoon we went to a friend’s house for a cookout, and lucked out with warm weather so we spent a lot of the time outside. I chopped a few inches off my hair this week, and I am really liking the shorter length, especially with all the ponytail tangles that come during workouts.

Mazen and Spiderman had a BLAST together. They played and played and were so grimy and tired at the end of the day.

Also, two words: Power. Wheels.

I snacked on corn and bean dip that Thomas made. (I should share the recipe soon – it’s a winner!)

Plus this snack-tastic broccoli soup!

And then for dinner – smoked pork, kale salad (which I brought), and pasta salad. And beer(s)!

On Saturday night we had a sitter come after bedtime so we could go and watch the UVA basketball game with friends. We left the game a little early when it was clear the Hoos weren’t pulling off a win (a bummer, because I despise Carolina basketball!) but we stopped into Arch’s on our way home because, get this, Thomas had never had Gooey Brownie!! Gooey Brownie is the half-baked pan of brownie batter that Arch’s has as a topping on its self-serve buffet. I tried it on my first visit to Cville after friends convinced me of how epic it was, and now I indulge in the good stuff about once a year. (I’d have it more often, but I’m not at the Corner that much.) Thomas LOVED it though, so we will be back for more sooner rather than later!

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
