PB Banana Cloud Smoothie

Return of the Peanut Butter/Banana Cloud smoothie!  Like I have said before, frozen bananas are the secret ingredient to making any smoothie super creamy.  I loved sipping this on the way to work–and it snowed today!  I can drink these all year around no problem.  I had a piece of raisin toast with my [homemade] tea latte once I got to my desk as well.

I was lured in by free break room candy! Although I must say I was disappointed that the red one wasn’t a PB cup, but a caramel-filled chocolate of sorts.  Still gave me a little boost before lunch.

I love using the greens container for my salad holder.  Nice and big so you can fit a whole bunch of toppings!  I see carrots, pummelo chunks, hummus and almonds.

Dinner

I was ravenous when I got home so I threw this pasta dish together in a hurry–and it was quite good!  Just plain old whole wheat tubes (rigatoni?), jarred pesto, sauteed spinach and mushrooms, and shredded parm cheese. This hit the spot!

Dark chocolate for dessert while I watched the newest episode of The Bachelor on DVR.  I don’t know what it is, but I get so hooked on this show every. single. season.  Even so, I always seem shocked when he falls for the mean hot girl. Maybe I’m just naive.

Anyway, here is what’s tentatively planned for the kitchen tomorrow:

• Elvis Granola
• Blackberry Scones (both via Eat, Live, Run)
• Creamy Spinach and Mushroom Lasagna via Runner’s World

I have the itch to cook so an early-morning grocery run is in my future.  Training schedule says 7 miles so I better figure out my route!

Good night
