I haven’t posted weekly menu plans for the last few weeks because our schedule has been crazy. It was so nice to sit down this morning and put together a well thought out menu plan and grocery list. Also, I had time to make waffles for breakfast and pita bread for the week. Ahh…so relaxing!
Here’s what we’ll be eating this week:
Sunday
Monday
- Grilled Pork Tenderloin
- Pumpkin Polenta
- Salad
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
- Chicken Tacos
- Refried Beans
- Fresh Corn
Friday
- Dinner out or grill at home
I’m really looking forward to trying some new recipes like the trout and shakshuka. You know if they turn out well that I will share them with you on Bakin’ and Eggs!
Last night we went to an engagement party for Sarah and her fiance Ryan at Andrew Blairs. Brandon and I walked to the party since the restaurant is only about a mile away and it was a nice evening. We arrived to find that the party was being held on the patio. It was perfect! The hosts did such a great job with everything and the weather was awesome.
Me, Sarah, Amy, Catherine and Kim . I am so happy that I have found this group of girls in Charlotte. They are fun, inspiring, smart and unbelievably nice.
I knew the second that I woke up this morning that waffles were a must. I whipped up some waffle batter while Brandon was still sleeping (it’s always best to let waffle batter rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking). I made a pot of coffee and waited patiently anxiously for Brandon to get up.
I am a total weirdo and like to top my waffles with almond butter, Greek yogurt and a drizzle of maple syrup.
I love special breakfasts on the weekend!
I’ve been working on a batch of pita bread all morning and it’s finally time to put them in the oven. So excited to have homemade pita bread for the week.
What’s your favorite weekend breakfast?

I am such a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast. 95% of the time I’m craving a breakfast that is on the sweet side. That mostly alternates between smoothies or yogurt bowls with overnight oats, chia pudding or oatmeal occasionally thrown in there. On the rare occasion I go savory – it’s scrambled [...]

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]

Happy Friday! I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are in the dog days of it over here in Charlotte – the heat and humidity is off the charts – but it’s something I’ll embrace because I deeply appreciate the massive slow down that summer has brought. A lot of [...]

I recently traveled to Big Bear Lake, California for the inaugural Big Bear Peaks + Pines three-day stage race hosted by TransRockies Running. This was my third TransRockies event in 12 months (see also Colorado + Moab) and I’m here to tell you that they can do no wrong when it comes to race organization [...]

Happy weekend! Another week in the books! I got three runs in (6.5 miles, 5.5 miles, 5.5 miles) and I have a trail run planned for tomorrow. Total weekly mileage will end up around 30-35 miles depending on if I go for 13 or 17 tomorrow! I’m 16 weeks out from the Golden Ultra so [...]

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]

Hi and happy May! As we roll into the first full week of a new month, I have almost a month’s worth of lunch ideas for you. It’s a great mix of sandwiches, bowls, salads and wraps. I hope you enjoy and find some inspiration for your midday meal! Open-faced chickpea salad sandwich on toasted [...]
