Peanut Butter Smashed Banana French Toast Sandwich!

- I dipped two slices of toast in 1/3 cup egg whites mixed with 1 T milk
-laid in the pan, sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar
-flipped
-put in the remainder of the egg batter in the pan

then… I smashed half a banana on one side, spread the other side with little all natural Smucker’s peanut butter

While the french toast cooked, I made Jeff a smoothie: milk, protein powder, peanut butter, frozen mango, frozen pineapple, frozen blueberries, and the other half of the banana.

I dropped Jeff at work this morning so that he could go rent a car! I stopped and went christmas shopping on the way home! Since it was early morning, it was really nice not to deal with crazy busy parking lots and people!

The plan for the rest of the day ( ONE WEEK UNTIL CHRISTMAS EVE! time flies)

Body:
Rest/ Yoga … Yoga is wonderful for me because it helps an incredible amount with my asthma. The breathing stretching techniques are just fantastic, relaxing, and rejuvinating. I have a “power yoga” dvd but its not cardio-intense. I break a sweat but its nothing crazy, and I literally know the dvd without having to watch it- I put it on for the background waterfall music! I am resting from my normal running or strength training routine today. Jeff and I may go to the gym tomorrow though ;-) ?

Mind:
I am going to keep looking at jobs- I am trying to narrow down my decisions/options/likes/hours… its tough! I also am reading the next chapter in Eat, Pray, Love. I bought it so long ago it seems and would like to finish it! I feel like I need SOMETHING to keep my mind active and to stay “balanced”.

Soul:
to be determined…. jeff and i may have a relaxing evening at home… and heck, I already got some christmas shopping out of the way, I went through with getting a haircut and am enjoying it!

I hope to hear back from the volunteer position so that I can get started- that will be very rewarding to help underpriviledged kids/families with nutrition and healthy eating on a budget! I don’t have a job so I certainly know what its like to be stuck to a budget! I still manage to eat lots of fruits, veggies, organic, local, healthy foods so I know I can help them do it too!

The endive app went over very well! Jeff’s stepdad Preston suggested some hot sauce so we all tried it out, the verdict was they were delicious either way!

I had a few of the endive with this mich ultra ( there’s the hottest hot sauce ever and behind them is the empty plate!)

Decilicious-ness is a bowl! I added some cheese and three small slices of bread. The bread was nice and crusty but soft and chewy inside, perfect!

After dinner I had this glass of merlot… Delicious as well.

I was mistaken and Jeff’s mom had not yet started christmas cookies, but….Melissa brought these back from a cookie exchange!

I had this guy- he was peanut butter and then I’m pretty sugar it was covered in a ball of frosting. This is exactly what I would have wanted- I love frosting and I love peanut butter…

And then I had bites of a ginger softie ( melissa made it – it was fantastic) and i tried pieces of a few others, and that chocolate chip/pecan/raisin cookie (it’s above the tree w/blue icing-)

Thanks for having us over as always Mom & Preston!

We went to Jeff’s hockey game afterwards… The team lost but Jeff passed the puck really well! I was SO impressed! One of our friend’s girlfriends came to the game so I had a great time chatting with her as well!
