That was a super hero entrance. Boom!
I still don't have my face powder. Getting kinda redic. I must go to Medford today with my wallet this time. I'd loose my head if it wasn't attached!
I am disappointed in myself guys.... I didn't make it to open gym OR the 4:30 wod. I mean, I did do the running wod but still. Jealous everyone got to do dead lifts but me. Not jealous of the KB stuff you guys did. I went to pick up Scott from class (cause both of us decided to stop procrastinating on our vehicles the same day, without knowledge of the others doings, might I add.) and they all looked pretty miserable. I was sweating just watching them.
Remind me to not go to the gym if I am not working out. They make you feel really bad. I mean realllllly bad for not working out. It's a good thing cause I definitely don't want to miss another wod in my life. It's like we are obsessed or something...? PFFT. Obsessed. Nah. Just OCD.
OCD = Obsessive Crossfitting Disorder
That's awesome. I know.
Who eats chicken for breakfast? I do. And I did. Gotta get your protein in, and its better then a shake. I didn't feel like making eggs and the whole shabang this morning cause I was working on a little creation.
That's right people, paleo cinnamon rolls! WHAT in the H!? Yep, it happened. And they are amazing. Just saying.
Look at the beauty....
My mom nominated me to make the menu for our 2nd annual Labor Day family extravaganza! Come one come all! I love the circus. A cool one maybe, I have never seen a cool one. I want to see that show "O". It sounds like it'd be nothing short of amazing. Anyways, last year my parents and baby sister packed up in the car and drove up to Washington. George, Washington to be exact. It was a great time. We watched 3 whole days of Dave Matthews and 23 other bands. Soooo much fun. And we are back at it again this year. Scott's joining us this year. We are going to camp and site see during the day and watch the ever so talented Dave in the evening. There is only one other band this year with him, the Avett Brothers. They seem like they will be a good time too! Yay! My mom text me this morning and all it said was "34 days left, waaahhhhoooo" She's a little cookoo for Dave. :))
I have to come up with 4 breakfasts, 4 dinners and 4 lunches. Any ideas?! I need easy. I am open for suggestions!!
I want a pool to lay by today. Sounds so nice and relaxing. I have a shorts tan line on my thighs. I noticed it the other day at cf. Time for some pool time! Or river, or lake...Or cement back patio and a sprinkler...haha! Gotta work with what ya got :) Maybe I will sneak into my friends backyard and play in his pool, he said I could anytime but I feel weird and rude without asking before. I asked yesterday then got sleepy. So it didn't happen.
I went to River's Edge last night for dinner with my Phi. That's my best friend if anyone was curious. Her name is Apphia, its Greek from the bible. But she's not Greek, or from the bible.
We sat on the patio which is gorgeous! Let's take a minute to be thankful for the nice setting of the beautiful flowing Rogue River and a nice cool breeze since our food took nearly 2 hours to get to us! And it wasn't even that good. Dangit. Not impressed. Grants Pass really has no where good to eat out at. Unless you want Mexican. Don't get me wrong, I could crush out a basket of chips and salsa like nobodies business. But I haven't done that in like a year, don't worry. I think AJA should move into the River's Edge building and that would be my favorite place to go. Yep. They should do it.
Okay, so I ate one of these cinny buns and it was amazing. So I took one to my love and he said it was delish too. So I think it passed the test.
Cinny Buns
3 cups almond meal (plus 2 tbsp)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup coconut oil
2 tbsp raw honey
2 eggs (room temp)
Filling
1/4 cup raw honey
1/2 cup pecans
1/2 cup walnuts
1/2 cup raisins
2 tbsp cinnamon
Icing
1/4 cup coconut butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl combine almond meal, salt and baking soda. In a separate bowl together eggs, honey and coconut oil. Combine the egg mixture to the flour and mix until a decently smooth dough.
On a large piece of parchment paper spray with coconut oil and knead out dough in a rectangular shape until 1/2 inch thick. drizzle melted 1/4 cup honey and sprinkle pecans, almonds and raisins evenly on dough.
Now its time to roll! Use the parchment paper to assist you in the beginning of the roll. You want it to be tight so take your time. Roll the dough into a nice log and cut into 1 inch thick slices with a oiled bread knife. Spray coconut oil in baking dish to avoid sticking and place in pan like so.
Got to be careful when rolling the bun, it's very fragile as you can see!
All comfy cozy in there
Put those buns in the oven and bake for 18 ish minutes until a light golden color on top and a toothpick comes out clean.
Drizzle that icing on top right before serving.
Taste test of course ;)
