Thanks for all the great comments on my last post!  I’m so glad everyone loved the posts this week

Today was a perfect day and I got back in the groove of my normal Saturday, which was so nice! I started out on this cold and chilly morning with half a Pure Protein bar on my drive to the gym.

Spinning was great ~ I really missed my gym and especially this great sweaty class!  When I got home, I quickly showered and made up a delicious smoothie concoction:  blueberry oat smoothie!  It included:

• 3/4 c cooked oatmeal
• 3/4c frozen blueberries
• 2 tbsp chocolate whey isolate protein powder
• 1/3 c almond breeze
• 1.5 c frozen ice cubes

Blend in the Vita-Mix 5200 and enjoy this yummy blueberry deliciousness!

Around lunchtime we headed to the Philadelphia Convention Center for the Home Show… On the way there I had a Kashi GoLean bar & a clementine.  I know some people don’t like these bars, but for some reason I LOVE them.  I used to be obsessed with them a few years ago – I love the “chew”.

The home show was fun, but not what we expected.  Basically it was a lot of hot tubs and basement waterproofing to sum it up.  However, guess what was there that made it worth it?  A Vita-Mix display and demonstration!  The guy at the stand did a demonstration for vegetable soup, fruit juice, and ice cream made with fruit, carrots, and spinach.  I stood there memorized, until Bill gave away my “cover” and told the guy I already had one!  He probably thought I was nuts, but I just rambled on about how much I love the product.  I swear I should work for them   I sampled the ice cream, which was super yummy.  I’m hoping to recreate it soon!

I also bought a crinkle cut slicer that I can’t wait to use this week   Is it weird that I go to a home show and come home with food related products?!

Dinner was at Chili’s since we had a gift card.  I ordered the steak fajitas but got served the fajita pita.  After Bill convinced me to finally say something to the waitress about it, she realized it was a mistake and put in the order for my fajitas

If you are all curious, this is what a fajita pita looks like…

I ordered a hot tea because it was chilly!

Then, my real dinner came out:  steak fajitas which were fabulous!  To be honest, the onions and green peppers were my favorite part!

Here’s the sides of toppings ~ I used the guac, pico de gallo, and lettuce.

Here’s one of my three fajitas (I didn’t use the 4th tortilla):

When we were at the Convention Center earlier in the day, we stopped at the Reading Terminal, which is probably my favorite place downtown.  We walked around and got some yummy fruits/veggies, but we also picked up this delicious cannoli from Termini’s, which is literally the best bakery ever.  Bill saved the cannoli for after dinner, I was amazed b/c he isn’t a sweet person, but LOVES cannoli’s.  He saved me a bite which I totally couldn’t resist, despite being stuffed.

Now it’s off to watch the rest of Iron Man from last weekend!  Have a fab night guys
