I always Rest the day after a long run, but I can’t do nothing! So Ben and I took a walk after our initial test of the Push-Up Challenge.
After church and errands I mentioned the Raspado stand that saved my life one day after I had been walking for an hour. Ben had never been there so we stopped. I got a medium mango. Isn’t it funny that there is some man with a snow cone stand in his front yard? Today I learned he also sells produce. Noted.
Before I let myself devour the raspado I knew I needed a real lunch. I wanted 2 things: veggies and popcorn. I know it’s random, but I listened. First, I made a HUGE salad topped with chickpeas for protein.
And then I let myself eat all the popcorn I wanted. I was happy. Simple pleasures are the best.
Now I have to clean, but I’m trying hard to procrastinate. Feel free to leave a pressing question or comment on the blog that I must drop everything to attend to!
The salad looks yummy. Do you have any creative corn recipes? I don’t want to eat it straight off the cob. I want to do something with it you know? Thanks!
Salad looks great! blackberry syrup sounds good. Love that the guy has his own business right there in his yard.
Melissa – I love grilling it so it’s a little charred and putting it on salads.
That’s a great idea! Better than making jam since we don’t really ever eat jam….Thanks! My boyfriend will love it with his chocolate chip pancakes! Haha.
Laura, why don’t you make blackberry syrup? You have to add sugar to it anyways right?
My only pressing question is if you had any good recipe ideas for sour blackberries? I’ve been looking all day for a good idea but no luck. I just bought them but for some reason they are all bitter….I just don’t want to throw them away!
You are lucky to have a guy-with-a-snow-cone-stand-in-his-yard nearby. I would be visiting him every day! =]
