Time for a throwdown
Why hello 🙂 How are you? Hope you’re having a chillax kinda Sunday <3 It felt heavenly to sleep with no alarm this morning… when I woke up at 8:30, it felt like I had slept for 3 days.
After crawling out of bed, taking Bell out and putting on the Casey Anthony trial, I made some bfast:
Gluten-free toast with apple butter
I LOVE apple butter, but it’s usually loaded with sugar. This Eden organic version only contains apples and apple concentrate, and tastes fantastic
+ the smooooothie
-1.5 C almond milk
-organic frozen strawberries
-raw cacao powder
-Sun Warrior
-bananner
-frozen organic spinach – it was my first time using frozen instead of fresh, and I didn’t notice a difference in taste at all. Usually the more frozen components you can use in a smoothie, the better, since you won’t have to use ice. (Frozen banana is always better than fresh in smoothies)
I’m off to the gym to battle the Stairmaster –that thing is a BEAST. and I love it- and then prepping some food for tonight. My cheffer bro and I are going to grill at the madre’s house for the fam. I have no idea what he’s making, but here’s what I have planned:
Black bean burgers and sweet potato fries
(That picture is actually from Bleu Pub in Valdosta.. and is causing some serious hankering right about now)
Massaged kale salad
(Even kale non-believers love massaged kale salad)
Mixed berry crumble
Of course, whenever we cook together it turns into a friendly competition. I’m ready for it 😀
Enjoy your Sunday and I’ll see ya this afternoon!
xoxo

Hahahaha love that apron!!! Supa stylin’! Oh boy am I craving sweet tater fries and a black bean burger right about nowwww
Sweet workout! I got mine in too in anticipation of all the cook out goodness today. 🙂
The crumble looks so good! I love that crunchy topping with the juicy berries. I just made chipotle corn hummus to share – really good and I love bringing a healthier option.
mmmmmm black bean burger and sweet potato fries are my favorite!!!
Bahahaha love love the apron!
OK..that is one self assured secure male:)
hahah! if you ever meet my brother, you understand. he is the funniest guy ever
LOL, who made Kyle wear that apron? 😉
Soooo basically you’re throwing down. Wooo I’ll bring the oatmeal!
haha sounds good!
Love the firework blast! Going to try it out right now! Thanks for posting it. Have an awesome 4th with your fam!
Love the apron! Don’t you have one too?
I’ve had that apple butter before and it is delicious!
That apron is classic. Your brother looks like a fun guy! I wish you luck in your cook off!
It’s really easy to make apple butter at home without sugar! Just peel and chop apples, add spices (I love cinnamon and nutmeg), barely cover with water and boil until everything’s soft. Then I use a potato masher to get it to the right consistency – I like my apple butter a little bit chunky. So good!
That black bean burger + sweet potato fries look AWESOME.
Thanks for the workout- I will do it later this afternoon! The food looks delicious. I have never eaten a black bean burger but I may just have to try one soon! 🙂
Good luck on the throwdown!
Your brother is so cute!! I hope you have a lovely 4th with the fam. Enjoy your day!! 🙂
Seriously hilarious apron! Good luck w the throwdown! 🙂
I love love loveee Apple Butter! I seat I put it on everything. Try a Apple Cinnamon Muffin sliced in half with some apple butter heated up. You’ll die! Also, I am making a crumble too. It will be for tomorrow but it has to chill overnight. Have fun girl!
Love the picture of The Pilot. Pink is definitely his color 🙂
And that mixed berry crumble. Oh, that looks sooo good. I just made a mixed berry clafoutis the other day that turned out so well. Mixed berries are the way to go.
And apple butter…I have bought the TJ’s apple butter around the fall, like Thanksgiving time, and not sure what all is in it, but it sure is good! 🙂
A man with an apron like means business.
yummmmmmm that meal looks soo so good!

Hahahaha! I love that apron! 😛
LOVE your brother’s apron haha!
That apron is awesome!! hahaha
Love that even the kale non-believers liked the salad – success!
We’re twins today with smoothies and black bean burgers.
Good to know that frozen spinach is okay in smoothies – I’ve always wondered!
oh my gosh, i hear ya on the chillaxing sunday, i woke up at 8.30 too without an alarm and felt soooo wonderful and rejuvenated and refreshed for having 9 hours of beautiful sleep! <3 love it! Good luck in your cook-out tonight! That dinner you've got planned sounds just delicious 🙂 xyx
the stairmaster IS a beast! do you have specific intervals?
That picture of your brother is absolutely priceless!
Apple butter, that sounds awesome, too bad they don’t have it here in The Netherlands (searched the internet as soon as I read it here)…. Secretly praying for a giveaway! Haha!
As odd as it is to say seeing how I live in the “apple capital” of Nova Scotia, I’ve never had apple butter. But I see someone posted above how to make it so I might have to try making some! 😀
Have a supper duper supper & throwdown 😉
My husband would SO volunteer to wear that apron! Your meals look so good!
I liked you previous post too, great tips on workout transitions. 🙂
What a fun tradition with the bro–I hope you kick some butt!

My girls and I just did this impromptu workout in my living room. That’s a great 8 minutes!
