Wednesday was a hot mess over here in GDW world – from breakfast til bedtime! 

After a good whoppin’ at “bootcamp” in the morning (the instructors were upset about the Cavs recent loss – they took their aggression out on my hip flexors and triceps!)… 

It was off to to work with the best breakfast ever – Spicy Oats!

Sorry for the picture ya’ll – this really is a hot mess.  It doesn’t look appetizing at all – but sometimes “portability” comes with a price – that price being presentation!  To see a MUCH PRETTIER, more appetizing version – check out my guest post on Kath’s blog today!

All mixed up!

Still doesn’t look any better,  I know.  At least I tried!  

Because of the brutal morning workout – I was ready to gnaw my arm off by 11 – so I snuck into my snack drawer, and had the 2nd cookie from this pack:

Honestly – when I tried these out the first time, I didn’t think it could get any better.  But Erin suggested I microwave the cookie next time…

Result?  EVEN BETTER!  I need to look into buying these by the case!

Remember that Wine Bar Party I mentioned Sunday?  The leftovers keep following me (hey – I’M NOT COMPLAINING!) – I just can’t shake it!   I had packed this for lunch:

Salad with:

• banana pepps
• black olives
• chickpeas
• carrots and red peppers for dipping in this:

But ended up eating a ton of the leftover veggies from the party – with this fabulous dip that Kristin brought in:

This stuff is seriously addicting!  It’s got a fairly sweet taste, right as you take a bite of it, but then it has a bit of a kick at the end at well!  It would be a great bruschetta spread, or even pasta sauce base!  We used it as dip for pita chips and veggies!

Since Mike’s officially on summer break from law school now, he’s been working like crazy to get a ton of things done around the house.  I came home yesterday to find he had sanded down the entire bathroom – and it was ready for priming!  It was a small room, so it only took us about 35 minutes – but it has been SUPER MUGGY AND HUMID here the past two days – and painting in air that feels like it could be “cut with a knife” makes for a big hot mess!

For dinner we need quick and easy – so I went with TJ’s whole wheat pizza dough, and made a quick pizza for the two of us:

Look at that melty veggie goodness:

Okay – off to put a few more coats on that bathroom, so we can finally get it finished – and finally have somewhere to shower!
