a fun little Saturday…

By Kristina LaRue, RDN 2 Comments

This morning started out with a bowl of oats, topped with 1/2 plum, coconut, dried cranberries, walnuts, and a spoonful of peanut butter.

Then we rented a canoe, and paddled around the lakes in Winter Park. It was such a beautiful morning…we had a blast!

Oiled in sunscreen and squinty-eyed in need of some sunglasses.

We got out of the sun for a bit and enjoyed a nice lunch at home. Hummus, spinach, shredded carrots, tomato, fresh basil, and swiss on a crusty nutty bread from Whole Foods.

Then we made our first trip to Blue Bird Bake Shop for some dessert. It is the cutest little cupcake place, and they have adorable bird decor throughout the store.

We shared a Nutty Monkey with iced coffee…

…and an Orange Creamsicle. Phenomenal! The creamsicle cupcake was so unique; it was our favorite. It was served on a precious bunny plate, too.

After our cupcake date, we went to the driving range. Eric really wanted to hit some golf balls, and I decided to join him. It was actually pretty fun. I wasn’t so hot at hitting them in the right direction, so I did a lot of watching. Fun times.

Now off to the bookstore to blog, study, and prep for the week. Enjoy your weekend.
