Baking Overload

Happy Monday Guys! 
Back to the work week for many, but this girl is still home sick. Even though I'm under the weather, I have to say I'm enjoying being able to do all the little things I always say I'm going to do, and then never do. Feeling accomplished/organized is the best for type A people like me.

Great food did make an appearance this weekend. Mom and I went out to eat Friday night and our food looked something like this. Gluten free pasta with ala vodka sauce. Mmmmm...

Saturday night is when I started feeling gross so the boyfriend got us some take out. Chicken parm. hero for me. The reason it looks messy is because I forgot to snap a pic was totally starving and dug right in. Sometimes the best food can look the worst. Like chili, sloppy joe's, sherperd's pie? Anyone else agree?
 

One of the items I needed to check off my to-do list was to finally wash my make up brushes after a great tip from Amanda. (Thanks!) If you're anything like me, you continue to use your makeup brushes, oh for about forever, and keep saying you're going to clean them next time. And then next time never comes...

Ahhh so much cleaner & not a bad cleaner for $2.50

  
Next up on my list was painting my nails so I can stop biting them! I'm sooooo bad with it.

  
As you can see my nails are super tiny. Hoping they grow quick.

As far as meal planning goes for this week: no planning happening. With not feeling well and being away for half the week, I'll probably end up eating frozen leftovers from last week. However, I did prep alot of snacks for the week. Yesterday was baking overload.

 Amaze Ballz

  
It was my first time making them and they came out a little too wet. Into the freezer they went. They turned more into amaze turtles, but balls or turtles, delicious either way.

Homemade Protein Bars

I have to be honest, wasn't my favorite. I dont know, they just came out mushy and they were in the oven for wayyyy longer than the original recipe called for.

And, last but not least, the famous 4 ingredient fudge!
This went straight into the freezer and is not coming out until v-day or else it will be gone in a day :)  If you follow me on twitter @LifeAndFitByAsh you might have seen this treat during the Superbowl.
 

 

And some things floating around the internet that made me laugh

 

Have a great day! See you guys later

Did you have any amazing food over the weekend? Along with the chicken parm. hero, there was garlic knots. YUM.

Do you know what you're getting your Valentine this year? I usually go with a couple's massage for my Valentine, but am thinking of switching it up this year. Any ideas?? The boyfriend is the hardest to shop for!

Home on a Sunday

Goooooood Morning, 

 Ahhhhhhhh. <-----That's how good I felt this morning when I slept in. I'm home sick from work today so sleeping in on a Sunday is a very rare occurrence around here. Somehow, someway I got the chicken pox. When I was younger I never got them, so I have absolutely no idea how I got them at 22 years old. Verrrrry strange.
These are my plans for today

A whole lot of nothing! Clearly, Wishbone feels the same way <3

 

This morning I wasn't very hungry at all and just needed something light. So I went with a good old Cliff Bar. Chocolate Peanut Butter is the clear winner out of all the flavors.

 

And a surprise treat from Mom. I'll never pass that up! Starbucks is too expensive for me to branch out and try a new drink. So, I always stick with the tried & true favorite: Skinny Vanilla Latte.

 

One thing I do need to check off my to-do list is read through some of this book. Blah

 
When I picked it up from the library yesterday, I started cracking up when I looked it over. Maybe some of you guys noticed it in the photo above. Here's a closer look:

 
The author's name is Seymour Lipschutz. Really?! I thought Dr. Lipschitz only existed in Rugrats haha. Poor man for having a name like that through high school. I'm sure hes making millions being a genius and writing textbooks.

I'm off to bake up some goodies with PB2. How did I not know about this product before last week? Can't wait to try it, since I am a huge peanut butter lover.

 

Have a relaxing Sunday! I'm sure a nap will make its way into the agenda later.

Tell me, what is your go to food when you're sick? I'm not a big soup person, but love crackers when I'm not feeling too hot.

Are you watching the Superbowl or just go for the snacks? I don't plan on watching it this year. Not a huge football fan by any means.
