The perfect way to unwind from a long post-race week
An amazing Pumpkin ale bomber and movies. Unfortunately, my Dogfish Pumpkin Ale wasn’t available anymore, but let me tell you, I am LOVING this brew. If you can find it, it’s expensive, but delish. Totally worth a celebratory drink.
I haven’t been all relaxing and unwinding this afternoon . .
I joined two challenges for this month:
Today is my rest day so I didn’t exactly want to log miles today, but I did walk one mile around the park during my lunch at work. 99 more miles to go for the month of November 🙂
And I failed to mention earlier that, because I like to go BIG, I also joined Piper’s Run in a 30 Day Thigh Challenge
For today I had to do
- 5 lateral lunges (each side)
- 10 scissors
- 5 fire hydrants (each side)
- 5 Pile Squat Pulses
Easy way to start this challenge, but you know it’s going to get tough.
And now, it’s time to continue drinking my hard earned pumpkin brew, and make my own version of a You Pick Two (for some reason, I am CRAVING Panera. Who does that?)
An open face sandwich with cheddar cheese and roma tomatoes dressed in vinigerette and greens. With a small salad very similar to my go-to meal this week. Greens, quinoa, chicken and roasted onions and broccoli. YUM.
Have a great Friday night all 🙂
Question of the Night: What is your go-to meal that is easy and quick?

I don’t know if I have a quick go-to meal but I know there are nights when I don’t feel like cooking so in place of that, a small bowl of greek yogurt and blueberries hits the spot. I know this isn’t totally a dinner, but it really does the trick when I’m not super hungry but feel I should eat something. It may be what I had for “dinner” tonight. 🙂
I am totally OK with that!
Nice! Always good when people understand the wonderfulness of yogurt and berries. 🙂 Oh, and I may have had some wine with that as well!!!
Salmon and spaghetti squash – MY GO TO! 😀 I bake squash for 2-3 days so then I can just take some out when I need it and EAT AWAY! So delish and perfect. Otherwise, my quick meal is…… Going to sushi! lol.
That sounds amazing. But sushi, definitely a favorite!
Our go to take out would be El Pollo Loco or Nalu’s, go to home cooking – grilled chicken and salad.
Have you tried a cinnamon rim on the Pumpkin Ale – it is delicious!
Yum! I love a good beer to unwind at the end of the week. My husband and I went out for dinner on Friday, and I had a tasty local witbier that was super tasty. 🙂
Yuuuum Pumpkin beeeer 🙂 My Fav! I don’t have many quick and easy go to meals I need more!!!
I don’t know if this is cheating but Trader Joe’s has frozen pizza’s that are really easy to make and are surprisingly delicious.
My go-to is roasted aubergine, courgette and red onion, thrown on top of spaghetti with goats cheese, extra virgin olive oil, and some torn fresh basil. No sauce to make since the goats cheese just melts in. Lovely.
Ok that sounds to die for!
Once a week I pan sear some wild Alaskan salmon in coconut oil with nothing but Himalayan Sea Salt and fresh black pepper. Made with a side of quinoa mixed with organic veggie medley. It’s fairly quick and simple to make, and healthy to boot!
BTW, I picked up some New Belgium Pumpkick ale. Yummmmmmm
I MORE than loved my pumpkin ale last night…Man I love a good beer sometimes. Really, it’s why I run.
My go-to meal is usually something breakfast related- whole wheat or protein pancakes or waffles, egg white scramble, oatmeal, etc. Breakfast seems to be quick and easy, and oh so comforting.
I do love me some breakfast for dinner, but we don’t do it often enough. My breakfast bagels were a go to for a little while, might have to bring that back in rotation.
DO IT! Yummm
