Potato, Potat-to.

It's Friday! Well not really, it's obviously Thursday, but since I'm not working tomorrow it's like Friday for me. In a few long short hours I will be on my way to NJ to spend the weekend at Danny's parents beach house. I am so excited and can't wait, especially since it's supposed to be a beautiful weekend. I am much looking forward to a 3 day weekend, walks and runs on the beach and waking up to the sound of the ocean. Does it get better than that??

Thanks for sharing what you don't like to share with your sig. others. Don't get me wrong, I love when Danny likes new things I  make him try  bake or cook for him. I love when he likes a vegetable, but there are certain veges I just like to keep for myself, like fresh string beans. I hope that doesn't sound mean! :)

Yesterday I woke up and started my day off with a cup of coffee and a juice. I have so many pears in my fruit drawer from the organic delivery service, so I decided to throw one in, instead of an apple.

how pretty are all of those colors??

this was 1/2 beet, 2 carrots, handful of spinach, 1/2 lemon, piece of ginger, 1 pear

Then I went to work for the last day of the ELA exam. My students and I can breathe deep now, until next week when the math comes up on Wednesday. The math isn't as challenging for them so it's less stressful. 

When I got out of the work I hit up the elliptical at the gym for 30 minutes and then came home to do a yogadownload class. This was a vinyasa class, it wasn't my favorite, but it was still good. By the way, I am very excited about the blog wide yoga challenge Tina and Kate are doing. I can't wait to participate it and share my (pretty) new found love for yoga. (Katie, I know you are saying I told you so, since my sister in law has been telling me this for years now!)

I can't decide what appliance/foods I should bring with me for this weekend. I could go pretty crazy, but I'm going to try to not be extreme. The thing is there isn't that much food there since we haven't all been there since the fall. It certainly isn't stocked up, so I'm thinking I should be bringing some extra food. When I get home from work today I think I'm going to make some hummus and bread to bring at least. 

Remember these?

Well today I thought I'd share the recipe. I saw Gracie from Girl Meets Health make these and she got them from Kath. Kath described them as little pillows and I have to agree. They are SUPER simple and SUPER tasty.  I love how they are cut into circles and browned on both sides.  I cut them into about 1/4-1/2 of an inch thick, arranged them on a cookie sheets, sprayed them with olive oil and sprinkled them with sea salt and pepper.  Then they go into the oven for 30 minutes at 350 degrees, I flipped them and in for another 20 minutes at 400 degrees. 

arrange them...

That's it! Done!

Perfect with any meat or fish...or just by itself!

Shout out to my friend Jackie and her BF who have been making lots of my meals. I love it! Thanks Jack! :)

Have a great day! Also HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my friends Meg and Sam! 

What foods do you pack with you on short vacations or get aways?
