Juicy winner + highlights and dinner

Hey everyone! HAPPY FRIDAY!! Got anything fun going on this weekend?? Our Ugly Christmas sweater party is tomorrow and guess which slackers still haven’t figured out final outfits? I have a hankering we’ll be making stuff an hour before the party- we work best under pressure 😉

Before I get into the highlights from yesterday, let’s see who the winner of the Juice Beauty giveaway is…..

Entry 635! A tweet from Jordan over at Salt, Sweat, Sugar

Congrats Jordan!! Please send me your info so I may forward it to the Juice Beauty fairy 😀

Some of the highlights from yesterday:

– went to the eye doc (who said my eyes are perfectly healthy and is trying to convince me to get Lasik. I’m horrified and especially scared of the “claw” they put into your eye to keep it open

-had a glorious raw sandwich for lunch

(Two slices of dehydrated bloomin’ onion bread, raw goat cheddar, spinach, tamaters and olives. Please to excuse the mediocre Crackberry pic – I had left my camera in the car!)

-picked up Bella from the groomer

Little fluff ball!

I LOVE the red bow and holiday kerchief they put on her 😀

So precious!!

A pic of Viesa, too:

Gorgeous girl 😀

-Took a shot (of heated Ginger gizer!!! mmmm)

-Ran 5 miles

Goober!!! Haha.

But check out these splits!!

-Mile 1: 10 minutes (warm up)

-Mile 2: 8:30

-Mile 3: 8:30

-Mile 4: 8:10 (yeahhhhhh)

-Mile 5: 10 minutes (cool down)

I feel like I got my mojo back.. and it feels goooooooood 😀

Next, I broke out some new pizza dough to try

Put it into the mixer:

And made two awesome pizzas for people with two very different pizza tastebuds…

The pilot’s:

(Organic pasta sauce, sausage, a ridiculous amount of cheddar and colby jack cheese, green bell pepper)

Mein:

(Organic pasta sauce, zucchini, squash, wilted spinach, sundried tomatoes, goat cheese, oregano, basil, rosemary and sea salt)

I had two extra large pieces:

And we both had spinach salad with Goddess dressing:

Amazing 😀

Sometimes a quick and easy meal tastes just as wonderful as one that took a couple of hours 😉 This girl wanted pizza! I was also pleasantly surprised by the crust. It was doughy, thin and crunchy at the edges- just how I like it. I have to say I like wheat, spelt or brown rice crust more (this one was mostly made from tapioca flour)—darker, grainy bread products always taste better to me. 🙂 I do have some tapioca flour I’m excited to experiment with on the baking front, though 😉

After our feast, we went to a host of stores looking for ugly Christmas sweaters. The mall, Targizzle, Wizzle, Kohl’s… The only thing we came home with was a carton of organic milk for the pilot. I though these sweaters would be so much easier to find! We’re still on the prowl….

Well I’m off to do some yoga before meeting Jeni for weights 😀

Have a fabulous Friday <3

Much love,
