why am I so neglectful?

I really wanted to blog regularly. Like REALLY. I had heard some really fantastic hopeful news, that ended up sort of fizzling out before it even ever got started, so I guess I’m back to square one. 

Anyway, enough of being a bad blogger. Lets get down to business.

-

The last few months my diet has been increasingly more annoying (counting weight watchers points is the biggest pain in the ass sometimes, especially when you’re doing 5 hours of cardio a week). I toyed with adding MUFA rich foods and eating balanced (calorically) meals daily, but I got bored with that too. 

Now that weather is warmer, I’m training even harder, and have stopped craving soup, roasted sweet potatoes, and cake, and now am craving fresh tomato & cucumber salads, vinegar-y cole slaws, and chunks of fresh melon. 

I think this meal was my last “hearty winter” meal. The next day was 90 degrees outside. It’s pan-fried cauliflower, roasted&mashed eggplant with tomato puree, al dente chickpeas (there’s really nothing better), and my “secret sauce” consisting of mostly tahini and hot sauce .

my favorite foods, in a row.

This is my Weight Watchers saviour. It’s a 2pt dessert (minus the ice cream, which I have if I have the points for it..). It’s baked pumpkin with various cereals blended to give it some bulky-crust. It’s amazing. I eat it like 3 times a week, usually with an apple baked into it. SO GOOD.

full tummies.

I have devoted most of this weekend to baking and/or making deliciousness.

First, I made ricemellow balls. They aren’t pretty, so you don’t need to see them.

Then I made white-chocolate covered pears, made to look like ghosts a la Martha Stewart. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then I decided we needed peanut butter chocolate ice cream. 

 

I also made apple pumpkin muffins, and gingersnaps… and then these banana peanut butter chocolate scones for my hubby. 

 

I’m so full.

October, finally.

I’m balls-out fall-foodsing. Today I had pumpkin pancakes for breakfast;

an accidentally vegan caramel apple (it wasn’t that good) and apple cider;

then came home and made pumpkin spice whoopie pies.
