Back to Cali

Saturday:

It’s been a full weekend, but like every weekend it started with a run. Long run Saturday…time to work!

The Fleet Feet Fall Marathon training group had a great 18 miler!

I showered, packed, and headed to the airport with Jason. He’s working in California for a few days and I tagged along.

The best part about traveling with my husband (other than his stellar company) is his Admirals Club membership.

Of course I packed fruit for the flight!

By the time we got to LA, it was late. We were exhausted and went straight to bed.

Sunday Funday!

First things first….find coffee…

With a coffee shop destination, we headed out for a gorgeous sunrise run!! (Y’all this is the Nike Tank that I wrote about in the Friday Five…LOVE it!)

The weather is spectacular!!!!

We found a pretty patio…

for coffee and breakfast.

After breakfast we headed to Eaton Canyon.

We read that the path went to the Eaton Falls. It wasn’t exactly a waterfall, but we found water. It’s so dry here, so we considered this a success.

After two runs, we were ready for lunch and found some great meditteranean food.

Then, this cookie sandwich happened. It was vegan…if only that meant that it was healthy, lol!

Our hotel has the loveliest gardens….

The orchids in the lobby are so pretty.

Peak and Pit of your weekend? Peak: The gorgeous California weather! Pit: The 4 hour flight!

Did you race or long run this weekend? Share!

Peak was spending time with my friend from London who was in town! Pit…there really wasn’t one! Long run was 18 miles and it was the best long run I’ve had in awhile! I would LOVE to see 64 degree weather again! Seeing that makes me more ready for fall!

When in Pasadena, go to One World Veg for lunch. It’s on Colorado, near Lake. Love it there. First place outside of Asia I’ve ever had a jackfruit sandwich, now it’s my vegetarian specialty! So many things on that menu I wanted to eat.

I’m so jealous of this weather, Jen!! Enjoy and bring some back with you, please!! Peak was definitely being able to relax a bit in our new home; pit was the weather, since it was over 100 degrees both days – ugh!

  I wish I could bottle this Cali weather and bring it to the SE!

Such beautiful photos, Jen! I hope you have a great time in Cali! I have great memories visiting CA when my sister lived there! Peak of my weekend is that it isn’t over yet! And pit would be my dog not feeling well (he gets bad allergies this time of year).

Baked Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spray your baking dish with a non-stick spray. Toast pecans on a baking sheet for 4-6 minutes until fragrant. In a large bowl, combine pumpkin, milk, eggs, coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Blend in oats, toasted pecans, cinnamon, ginger, all-spice, salt, and baking powder….

Recipe

Zucchini Noodles with Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce

This is the perfect warm weather ‘pasta’ recipe! The simple sauce is sun-dried tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, basil, and garlic. I served mine over zoodles (zucchini noodles), but you can also use traditional pasta. Bonus: the sauce doesn’t even require cooking…just blend, toss, and serve! If you are using traditional pasta, cook according to package instructions….

My Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies

I’m always hesitant to type that anything is my favorite. I’ve baked a lot of chocolate chip cookies over the years, but the recipe from King Arthur Flour is going to be really tough to beat. The middles stay soft, the edges are just a little crispy, and they have a rich brown sugar, buttery…

Recipe

Cauliflower Crust Cheese Sticks

I made a big pot of Old Fashioned Tomato Soup and wanted a cheesy side. These cheese sticks were the perfect healthier option! They’re gluten-free, low carb, super-cheesy, and perfect for dipping in tomato soup! This recipe makes two cheese stick “pizzas.” You can easily halve it to make one. Here are your ingredients: Roughly…

Desserts

Chocolate Banana “Nice Cream”

“Nice Cream” is one of my favorite treats and it is super simple to make!! You just blend frozen bananas in your food processor or blender, and it makes a soft-serve ice cream or “nice cream!” Bonus: its dairy-free and gluten-free and I was really surprised by how much it tastes like real ice cream. Add…

Simple Lemon Grilled Asparagus

This is an easy and delicious way to grill asparagus. Just marinade it in a plastic bag and grill. I love the extra touch of grilling the lemon to drizzle over the top. Place the asparagus in a large ziploc bag and add lemon juice, garlic, oil, salt, and pepper. Seal the bag and distribute the…

Breakfast

No-Bake Energy Bites

Add all of the ingredients into a large bowl. Stir until completely combined. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Once chilled, roll into balls of whatever size you prefer. I used a 1-inch cookie dough scoop for mine. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week in the refrigerator…although we…
