Hello, how’s your day? I thought I’d share The Things I’m loving this lovely Thursday…
1. Limeades from Sonic (because I’ve officially decided they do not count as soda).
2. Sugar free butterscotch. Ben and I are both addicted and going through these bags at an alarming rate.
3. Big ol’ salads. I call this one – “veggie burger, deconstructed”. (Then, I follow the salad with 2 Vitatops covered in PB. It’s been that week.)
Actually, this hits a little too close to home after all those Vitatops…
4. This cartoon sent to me by reader Liz. She sees chubby cats and thinks of me. Hope this isn’t a hint about trimming my bikini area…
5. Peanut Sauce! I always love peanut sauce, but go through it too fast – so I made my own yesterday.
Ingredients: 1/3c Peanut flour, 1/4c soy sauce, Sriacha, 1/4c agave and water to thin. Mix. Pour on everything. Eat. Make more.
I mixed it in a mug, but didn’t drink it straight. (Not that I’m above that.)
I used my first batch of peanut sauce in a tofu stir fry.
6. Finally, I love that so many of you wanted a Run Eat Repeat bumper sticker. I sent out the winner’s today and will let you know when you can buy one soon
I’ve never had this limeade concoction at this supposed Sonic. Then I discovered it’s because there aren’t any anywhere near me! It should be a law that you can’t make anything super tasty unless you can afford to put one near everyone nationwide!
Ah, I love Sonic Limeades!
Ok, I have never had a limeade… I think it’s time! Also… watch out for those sugar free candies. I was majorly addicted and had HORRIBLE gastrointestinal issues… like the worst bloating and gas you can imagine. When I finally connected the dots between my stomach pain and the artificial sweeteners in the Werther’s, I had to cut myself off cold turkey. Too sad that something so tasty can be so bad for your tummy!
That poor cat!!!!! What would PETA say? Is it animal cruelty to put a ginger in orange? I am a ginger so I feel I have the right to bring the focus back to a cause that should be on our minds ethical treatmemt of gingers or ETOG.
I went a little overboard there didn’t I? 😉
HA! You made me Laugh Out Loud at your interpretation of me thinking of you with that photo. Though for the record I’m sure your bikini line is at least a little more under control than Mr. Chub (I have named him, and also deemed him a him despite the bikini).
Liz, didn’t realize you had a blog! Sorry, major fail 🙁
No worries! I just started it and don’t think it’s ready for prime time so I don’t advertise much on purpose yet 🙂
Is that top envelope for me?! Yay cant wait for my sticker 🙂
Yes – that one’s for you 🙂 I made sure to cover your info so you don’t have any “random guests” showing up!
Yumm, peanut sauce my favorite! Have you ever tried peanut, coconut, lime sauce?!
I am addicted to Werther’s too 🙂
I’m not big on cooking with coconut (mostly put it in desserts to deter myself), but I do love Thai food with coconut milk. I should try it!
I love the cherry limeade mostly because it comes with a cherry and lime wedges. And Sonic’s ice cubes???? They’re fantastic. I could nosh on those all day
Peanut sauce is so great, it’s one of my favorites for homemade stir fry.
I just had my very first limeade tonight. I’m 27. This has to be some kind of travesty. Why have I not been drinking these every day for the past 27 years?
I only tried Sonic this past year. Sad, very sad about all those Limeades I missed out on…
That peanut sauce sounds amazing!! I’ll have to try that sometime soon!
YAY – i finally get to comment! For some reason I can usually only read your blog in my Google Reader and therefore can’t comment which is a shame because you always make me literally laugh out loud (awkward at work).
PS. I’m running the RnR Vegas half as well! It’ll actually only be my second one ever (my first will be RnR Savannah), and it’s my hometown so should be a good time.
I’m glad you get to comment too 🙂
Thank you for introducing me to TJ’s peanut sauce. I ran out the other day and have yet to make it back to stock up…or maybe I will try making my own also. Have you ever used it as a marinade?
Can’t wait for the bumper stickers!!
That cat is ridiculous!
You’re hilarious! I am in total awe of your peanut-sauce-making-self! I’m impressed with myself when I can get all the toppings in my yogurt bowl without spilling!
I love peanut sauce!!! In Holland it is called Sate Sauce (they stole it from the Indonesians I think) AND you can get it in fast food restaurants to eat with french fries. It tastes like heaven.
I’ll have to try your recipe since I am usually lazy and just mix pb, hot sauce, and soy. No wonder it never turns out right 😛
I won some peanut flour in a giveaway a few months ago and haven’t used it. I wasn’t sure of how to use it, to be honest. Definitely giving that peanut sauce a try. 🙂
ahh i want peanut flour so bad! why did TJ’s discontinue right when i moved next to one! boo! p.s. love peanut sauce!!
For some reason, my peanut sauce never really turns out when I use peanut flour. It always tastes chalky to me. Am I not mixing it enough perhaps?
Mix it a ton and thin it out with something creamy like milk or almond milk instead 🙂
You’re friggin hilar.
Do those sugar free candies cause excessive bloating and gas like most sf candies do?
Yes 🙁
I NEED that peanut sauce in my life!!! LOVE WERTHER’S!!! Um, can we go on a walk to Sonic together to get limeades!?!?
