Monday -- errr -- Tuesday!

Weekend in brief:

#: Our city now has a Chipotle! I had never been to one before, but now I'm hooked. #: I ran double digits for the first time since the Runner's World Half Marathon. 10 miles in 1:25. (Been logging my miles on Daily Mile again, by the way!) #: Ada's birthday party was a complete success, but my house is back to being a mess again. #: Mother-Daughter eggs. She hearts scrambled. I heart omelets.

In this omelet . . .

• 1 egg + 2 egg whites + splash almond milk
• 1 sliced up tomato
• Diced onions
• 1 string cheese with mozzarella and cheddar (it's all we had!)
• Lots of black pepper
  
• Tons of hot sauce
  

I'm thrilled so many of you enjoyed the Pumpkin Hot Chocolate recipe from last week. I also made a peppermint one that's just as easy to mix up.



PEPPERMINT HOT CHOCOLATE

For one giant mug of it, simply combine . . .

• 1.5 cups almond milk (homemade or store-bought -- unsweetened, if possible) 
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder 
• Handful dark chocolate chips 
• 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract

I'll be back soon with some of my Thanksgiving recipe favorites -- from our archives and elsewhere. To be entirely honest, with Ada's birthday bash this weekend, the holiday was far absent from my mind.

Our holiday plans? Well, we're traveling to Pennsylvania this year to visit my mother's side of the family. My grandparents have generously offered to take us out to eat at this great place in their town. So, no cooking for us. However, Stephen and I are having our own Thanksgiving dinner at some point during the weekend.
