WIAW: October Foodie Pen Pal Reveal
Happy Halloween! As fate would have it the Foodie Pen Pal reveal falls on Wednesday… which is my favorite link up day of the week: What I Ate Wednesday! This month is all about snacks and treats which works out great because my foodie pen pal, Audra, sent me a box full of snacks and treats! Thanks so much to Lindsay and Jenn for hosting both of these link ups! Can I first tell you how awesome Foodie Pen Pals is? You send a box to someone, and another person sends you a box. Who doesn’t love getting packages in the mail? ESPECIALLY edible ones! I always enjoy putting something…

WIAW # 12 and a Food Should Taste Good Giveaway!
I’ve been having these weird shoulder pains recently. Like my shoulder hurts throughout the day, but not horribly. Then at night when I wish I was sleeping it hurts SO bad. I just can’t get comfortable. So I don’t sleep well. I sometimes cry in frustration. Then I wake up kinda cranky and super emotional. This has happened since last Thursday night… I figured it would just go away with rest. I didn’t go to CrossFit on Friday and took rest days Saturday and Sunday as well…. but no change. I guess I need to go see the chiropractor… or doctor… not sure which one is supposed to take care…

Don’t forget to enter yesterday’s awesome WOD Toys and WOD ink Giveaway!! Good Morning, Friends! It’s Wednesday. Which means it’s close to Friday. Ha. This week has my mind all confused – I thought yesterday was Friday for a minute. But it wasn’t. Obviously. I’m in such a random mood today. You’re welcome. Speaking of Random, let’s talk about my food. That’s right folks, it’s time for What I Ate Wednesday! Thanks to Jenn from Peas & Crayons for hosting this link up. It really has become one of my favorite things to post. I just saw that this month’s theme is Healthy Halloween Treats. I’ll have to remember that…

WIAW #10 – Pumpkin Paleo Pancakes
I’ve written before about how I love What I Ate Wednesday because it lets me see what other people eat and find inspiration for my own meals. I recently realized another reason! Because when I know I am going to post what I eat I actually try new things so I don’t bore you with a million posts about buffalo chicken (even if I could eat it every day). So for this week’s WIAW I tried new recipes at every meal! As always, thanks to Jenn from Peas & Crayons for hosting this awesome link up! Make sure to join in for some WIAW fun! Now on to the eats! In…

WIAW #9 – Recent Favorites
Since I realized I eat a lot of the same things over and over again I decided that this week I’m going to share with you some of my recent favorites in the eat/drink department! First up… The FYI Truck! This was at the epic finish line party at Pretty Muddy this weekend… and it is seriously some of the BEST frozen yogurt I’ve ever had. (and I’m not just saying that because my cousin owns it…Seriously though, I’m not!) Payton loved it too! She had to have strawberries on hers. The New York Cheesecake Flavor was awesome. It tasted like fresh cheesecake! If you are in the greater Chicago…

After CrossFit I whipped up…

August Foodie Pen Pal Reveal
It’s an exciting day around here… time for the Foodie Pen Pal Reveal!! I watched for months as other bloggers got to share about their awesome Foodie Pen Pal packages. I decided that I had enough with watching and joined in for my first month last month. I had so much fun I signed up again! I loved getting to look around for special fun things to send to my partner, Monica from Life is Sooo Good. This month I received my package from Wendy at Feed Me Right. It was so bright and pretty to open! It came with a beautiful card explaining why she choose what she chose…

WIAW #5 {and a Giveaway!}
I feel like Wednesday should have it’s own song. Rebecca Black should get on that. Since it’s Wednesday it’s time to link up with Peas and Crayons for What I Ate Wednesday! Last weeks post had a lot of talk about Protein Powder since that has been one of my summer staples. Once again my day starts with some protein, monster pump and Aminos before my 5am CrossFit WOD. My new favorite breakfast! Oatless Oats! Seriously, I cannot get enough of this. Add in this delicious Earth Balance Coconut and Peanut Spread. It is the best think ever. My mid morning snack – a Berry SOYJOY bar! I was sent…
