Back from Break

Thanksgiving Break Recap:
-way too much food
-3 days of running (1/2 hour-ish)

I'm working on my dad's cold, so I didn't run or anything this morning (also, it was too early), but since it was the start of my challenge, I had fun in the kitchen today.  Currently sitting in the mini crock-pot is Pumpkin Apple Butter (3 apples peeled and sliced, couple scoops of pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, drizzle of honey).  Also on the counter is whole wheat bread that's trying to rise (made with honey instead of sugar, and milk instead of water and dry milk).

I only ate about half of this, for the record.

I ate a bunch of fruit today mostly--plain greek yogurt with fresh blackberries (yay sale!) and a little honey to sweeten, banana and natural peanut butter, another frozen banana blended with pb and cocoa powder and uncooked oatmeal and milk.  The piece de resistance of my cooking today was dinner though.  Roomie #1 and I had tilapia and asparagus (both also on sale).  Considering how much basil I stripped off my poor plant for pizza the other week, I had a decent amount for the fish.  I went light on the garlic though, because ours was old, and we used cherry tomatoes.  The asparagus was delicious but I added way less lemon than my recipe called for.  Both probably could have used less olive oil than called for, especially the tilapia, but everything tasted good.  Roomie #1 wasn't a fan of the asparagus, but she doesn't like it crunchy nor is she a fan anyway, so my ego isn't too bruised.
