Cereal with a Side of Carbs

Dinner

FacebookTweetPin
10 May

In keeping with my goal to eat protein-y snacks I made a protein cake in a mug for my afternoon snack. Yes, that is syrup on it. Yes, I’m going to Syrup’s Anonymous in the morning. IMG_0712 (800x600)
Not really, “I just can’t quit you” <—me talking to syrup.i cant quit you

Before my running group, I was hungry again and grabbed an apple for the road. IMG_0717 (800x600)

Just another day in SoCal…IMG_0718 (800x600)

Me and two of my peeps have the same shoes Smile Though, I have the biggest ones (does that mean I win or lose?).three running shoes

This morning I ran 4 miles (and some change). This afternoon I did another 4.IMG_0731 (800x600)

When I got home close to 8pm I was a super bitch. I mean, hungry. Okay okay, I mean both. I stole some of Ben’s tamale and egg dinner. God bless our local tamale lady <3IMG_0732 (800x600)

And I used my two-a-day run to justify cereal for dinner…IMG_0735 (800x600)

    I know this is a food blog but as a cat owner myself, I love your cat Vegas. Can you allow him to partake in your next video by maybe dressing him up? My cats occasionally get a holiday sweater and my boyfriend gives me a hard time about it constantly. Let’s see if Vegas will retain any of his pride!

      I actually filmed Vegas for a bit after my last Ask a Monican and meant to make bloopers, but never did 🙂

    What is it about cereal for dinner that seems like such a splurge? I rarely do it, but when I do I have to have at least three bowls and I’m in serious cereal heaven :o)

    No need to justify cereal and vitatop for dinner. To me that is completely understandable. And delicious. Cereal deserves its own food group. Love the stuff!

    The puppy in the picture is a Shiba Inu! That was the kind of dog I had growing up. They are Japanese hunting dogs. Shibas look like foxes with curly tails.

    How often do you do 2 a days? I do them a lot but I seem to get a lot of slack. It seems like the blog world doesn’t support them and I’m not sure why if you are being careful, smart and safe about them.

    Essentially breakfast for dinner? Always a good choice! Do you buy vitatops in bulk or on sale? I can never find them cheap so I only bu them occasionally but I live them so so much! Oh and tamales are the best mexican food ever!

      I used to buy them from Costco – which was the best deal ever, but they recently stopped carrying them. Not sure what I’m going to do now…

    Two a days!? Good for you…that motivates me to step up my running game. I’ve been slacking, but my carb consumption hasn’t been. That is a recipe for disaster.

      I actually try to stay away from 2 a days, but had to take Monday as a rest day because of my long run on Sunday. Plus, my running group does run/walk intervals so it’s not a “normal” run. – Just thought I should explain all that for some reason…
