Tis the season…
To bake all the foods.
Cookies, fudge, Devil’s food cake, ricotta cheesecake, malted walnut pie… you name it, I’ve baked it. I’ve been baking like a fool! Or maybe a ho ho ho?

Ho Ho Ho, Ho + WIAW
Beet Protein Pancakes [Recipe]
The (Christmas) beet goes on.
I’m so festive-feeling that even I want to slap me.
But how awesome are red pancakes in the winter?! Especially with they’re delicious and trimmed in white.
Oh… and they have a not-so-hidden healthy ingredient. Beets lend their color to these festive ‘cakes. It’s strange, yes. But I’m telling you… it’s good!
I use the new Quest vanilla milkshake protein powder in my pancakes. It’s flavor really is fantastic, and it bakes like a champ. These tasted like a beet milkshake pancake. In a good way. Really….
Thai Peanut Baked Tofu + WIAW
Don’t fight the festive.
My former Grinch-self is kicking me in the shins.
As advertised, Vegas and I got a tree. Vegas did the lights (after a debate over whether wrapping or running lights up and down is better). We hung ornaments. There was Christmas music and champagne.
This, after being opposed to Christmas decor of years. My former self thought it was a waste of time and money, not to mention messy.
My new smiley-self loved every minute of it.
(And that’s not just the wine talking.)…
A Case of the Tuesdays + WIAW
Total monkey.
There’s nothing more distracting than wanting to be somewhere you’re not.
Actually, I don’t really care where I am. It’s more about who’s with me. The company makes the location. Which is why yesterday I had a case of the Tuesdays.
But now it’s Wednesday. The next sunrise I see will be with Vegas. With the first Christmas tree I’ve had in 5 or 6 years. And flowers. I bought a poinsettia for the first time ever. Who am I?!

This WIAW I turned out a lot more prepared-looking than it felt! Either way, it was good.
Read on for my eats, and then check out Jenn’s blog for everyone else’s delicious creations!

Breakfast:
After my morning cocktail, I ate my morning sludge. While baking a pie. ‘Tis the season!
Breakfast was a concoction I’ve been eating a lot lately. TVP and oats made with carob powder, cinnamon, chcolate liquid stevia, and an egg white. Topped with blackberries. It’s actually really good!
Mid-Morning Snack:
Arugula salad with raw zucchini, pepper, and fresh lemon juice with my Sizzlefish salmon. I really love salmon. Would it be acceptable to eat it every meal?
Lunch:
Shredded up no-salt deli turkey with red bell pepper and tossed with salsa, nutritional yeast, and balsamic vinegar. With one of my Apple Carrot Protein Muffins for dessert.
Mid-Afternoon Snack(s):
I was feeling a bar. Have you guys tried Think Thin bars? I think they changed formulas… for the better! I got this at Whole Paycheck Foods (obvi). That Pumpkin Spice. Get. It.
Dinner:
This… well… it was a little hurried. But whatever. Corn tortilla topped with red peppers, egg whites, nutritional yeast, and one tasty local #yolkporn moment.
Dessert:
Milkshake Greek yogurt bowl topped with popcorn, chocolate chips, and cocoa powder sauce. I used the new Quest vanilla milkshake protein powder, which I love. It was an excellent post-workout dessert.

Is it just me, or has this been the longest week ever? An. Tici. Pation. (Name that movie.)
What is your favorite oatmeal mix-in? Besides nut butter… too easy! 😉
What’s your favorite holiday decoration? I love having a real tree – they smell so good!
Apple Carrot Protein Muffins [Recipe]
I’m not big on repeats.
There are too many new things to try!
A new twist on an old recipe seems acceptable though. Especially when you don’t have much else in your fridge! I’ve been meaning to make my Apple Carrot Muffins for a while, actually. They were really good, and I remembered that the originals led to a great race time. A time I could never hit 3.5 years later…
Saturday morning had a similar results though! I ate 2 of the version 2.0 Apple Carrot Protein Muffins before heading to the gym and PR’d a couple of tricep exercises on sleepy, rainy morning.

Pumpkin Pie Protein Ice Cream + WIAW
Winning is my favorite thing.
Really… everything is a competition.
I saw this sign walking to a meeting yesterday and literally laughed out loud.
Sometimes being wrong isn’t SO bad. I’d decided never to date again. Vegas has ruined me. So… I admit it. I was wrong.
But I am still never, ever having babies. Take that, Universe.

This WIAW I ate a whole lot random food after getting stranded an extra day out West. First time in my life I missed a flight! Didn’t feel like a mistake after I made it though. 😉

Ahnu Hiking Boots + WIAW
The only reason I like winter is the fact that I get to wear boots.
And snow, but we don’t get much of that in Georgia.
But, it does get cold! When I wanted to get outdoors during our first cold snap, I was really happy to have my Sugar Bowl boots from Ahnu! Unbelievably, my feet stayed toasty – that never happens. In fact, I have Raynaud’s Disease; usually my toes and fingers are so cold they turn white and go numb! While my fingers did turn white, my feet were actually warm!
I was also pleased with the look. Black and blue are my favorite colors. The laces in the front are stylin’, but not at the expense of function. These boots have side zips so you don’t need to spend 20 minutes tugging them on and readjusting them. I’ll be taking these to Lake Tahoe in a few weeks!
