Cinnamon rolls kill me.
That smell in the mall… Pavlovian response.
It’s been years since I’ve gotten one, but walking past a certain cinnamon roll chain had me craving a cinnamon roll. I swear they put crack in those things.
In my shipment from About Time, I received a few proteins to sample. I decided it was the perfect opportunity for a little mug cake experiment! Mug cakes may seem normal to many of you… but to the “normal” world I think it qualified as strange. But good. 😉

Did you ever look forward to gas station snacks as a kid?
Please tell me I wasn’t the only one with trashy taste as a child.
These days I dread road trip food – especially after my recent cross-country drive. However, when I was a kid I loved stopping at the QT for a giant slushie. It’s not that I don’t like a slushie as an adult, but I try to avoid the onslaught of chemicals.
When I received a box full of all natural supplements from About Time, I was immediately drawn to their new ProHydrate Protein Water. It screamed #strangebutgood protein slushie!

Two bloggers go food shopping…
I can’t even narrow down the punchlines.
Lucie and I had a food shopping adventure to the Pacific Beach Farmer’s Market and then to Whole Foods. We were actually quite well-behaved! Even between the two of us we spent less than $100* in Whole Paycheck Foods.
*That’s unheard of for me – just ask Vegas.

I always look forward to spring.
Except the pollen. Who knew San Diego had pollen?!
Spring food is the best. Don’t get me wrong, I love a roasted winter squash and the orange glow that comes with it. The lighter, fresh spring fare has my heart though.
Today’s #strangebutgood is a round up of some of my favorite spring recipes. Some stranger than others. All good. In my not-so-humble opinion.
Lemon squares are a totally normal thing.
Until I get ahold of them.
Vegas and I absconded from our citrus-picking adventure last weekend with a few samples. Lemons, oranges, and sweet lemons. Yes, sweet lemons are a thing. No, it’s not just a Meyer lemon. They’re so sweet you can sit down and eat a whole one! Strange and incredibly good. The bright citrus flavor is perfect for spring.
I immediately wanted to bake a treat using the sweet lemons. If you don’t have sweet lemons, simply add more sugar (think lemonade). Also of note is the coconut flour. It makes these incredibly moist (that’s right – I said it); reminiscent of lemon bars.

WIAW is on the move again this week!
Because I haven’t had enough moving…
Here’s the deal. What I Ate Wednesday has been jumping around to give mamma Jenn a break. She’s entrusted me this week with hosting duties (which may be a sign she’s taken up a crack habit… is rehab where she’s disappeared to?!).
Since I’m sooooo known for sugar coating things, I’m going to come out and say that the link up got a bit out of control and Jenny from the block was suffering from exhaustion. WIAW was meant to just be a day of eats. Don’t be linking shit from 5 weeks ago, everything you ate for the past 3 weeks, or some unrelated giveaway you’re trying to get more traffic for. Follow the rules and don’t be greedy. In short, don’t be a dick.

Moving is exhausting.
I’m mentally tired.
Organizing, cleaning, and decorating are not my favorite things. Doing that while working and dealing with annoying shit that comes with closing on the sale of my condo has left me grouchy. People commenting on my lack of cooking gets me fired up. We just got a working oven and found time to grocery shop. If I want to have some beers, then I will. Jeeeeeeesus.
The Whole Foods ha a bar. It really is like heaven here.
This isn’t a blogger rant. These are Facebook friends. I’ve actually been loving going out in our new neighborhood and trying out new things workout-wise. I’ve taken up boxing and tried out jiu jitsu. I’ve been running more. Ending the day jogging back home to Vegas with this view makes me incredibly happy:

I love me some protein.
Bro.
I also love cookies. If you can combine protein and cookies, you have a winner. When Isopure sent over their cookies & cream zero carb powder with 50 grams of 100% pure whey protein isolate I couldn’t try it fast enough. It was perfectly timed too – after being on he road for a week I was ready to get back in the gym!
