Burritos, Burgers And Beef
I slept like a log last night! Must be the cooler air. I was so cozy it was hard to get up for a run this morning. That and the fact that I had 6 miles on the schedule!
The husband pushed me out the door and off we went to the local track. We knocked out 6 miles in 1 hour 12 minutes and did the happy dance. It’s so nice to be able to run together. Can’t wait for our 10K race in 2 weeks!
Once home, coffee was my first priority…
I tooled around looking for something to eat, but nothing seemed appetizing. I’m having trouble wanting to eat breakfast after a run. I can’t eat much before or my stomach gets upset and it takes a long while after a run for my stomach to be ready for food. I may have to try out smoothies again to refuel, but part of me is just focusing on my hunger cues right now and letting food happen when it feels right. I ended up nibbling on a Larabar and heading straight to lunch.
This was very appetizing!
A Beef and Cheese Burrito using leftover taco meat, light cheddar, spinach, lettuce and guacamole in a high fiber wrap with a sweet Gala on the side.
Tasty…
And a little more sweet – 72% dark chocolate…
I could possibly live on that forever.
There was more beef on the menu for dinner. When Kelly posted about the Best Old Fashioned Burgers from America’s Test Kitchen a while back, I couldn’t get my mind off them! I made them one weekend and the family went nuts over them! Sometimes I give them a break from the torture 
I invited my parents and Gram over to try out these famous burgers, tonight. I healthified them a little by topping them with 2 % cheese and serving them on whole wheat buns…
Outrageous!
Baked sweet potato fries and salad finished out the meal…
Of course, we had an abundance of desserts! I was pretty satisfied with my meal, but had to have a small taste of my Mom’s Apple Slab Pie along with vanilla frozen yogurt…
And I’m good. Peace out, pie!
Have a great day, everyone!
What is your favorite kind of pie?

Lots of delicious foods! Great job on that run with your hubby!
Wow, your food looks delicious!!! I have a hard time eating after hard workouts too. I just don’t want anything. Hubby on the other hand is starving. It takes me a good hour or two to get hungry. My favorite pie is pecan or coconut creme. Yum!

That’s exactly how I’ve been feeling after a run. Takes a while for the hunger to kick in.
I am not really a pie person, but if I had to choose, I’d go with coconut cream!
Cherry Pie, no question! For me, anything cherry. Do fried pies count??? LOL!
Have a great day, Marisa!

Whoa!!! Fried pies sound amazing!!! Totally count
I could live on chocolate and coffee. I know I could. And I want to try.
My favorite pie? I’m going with apple and I’m sticking to it!

I want to try, too! I think we could do it…. but we might need some apple pie, too
Great job on your run!
I am a big fan of blueberry pie – I used to make it with my grandmother in Maine and have such great memories of it.

So nice to have that memory!
How awesome is it that you get to run with hubs?!?!
Try chocolate milk after your runs! It is my fave post-run fuel! I can get that quick and down long before I can think of food!

Great idea, Jen!
Favorite pie would be pumpkin ! I think I could eat anything with pumpkin in it ! The burritos look yummy !
Last week, I had apple pie for the first time in six or seven years, and it was absolutely freakin’ delicious!

Mmmmm!
I’m sort of obsessed with raspberry pie!
YUM! Apple pie alamode!
I love that your hubby has been running with you–so sweet! My hubster and I just recently started exercising together too. First it was power-walks and tonight we did a little jogging too. It’s so nice! That burger looks evil in the best way–must check it out! Favorite pie? Dude, I can never pick any favorites among any desserts. Desserts are my downfall and I’m pretty sure I’d sell my soul for any of them if threatened with a future with no desserts.
in a totally not weird way I LOVE your dynamic and relationship with your husband
I know its work—it always is!—but I love it.
Oh those burgers. Now I’m wanting one.
My favorite pie has to be chocolate meringue. Or pecan. Or pumpkin. Or coconut cream. So many to choose from.
