#81

Number 81 is the amount of new recipes I've tried in the past ten months. I challenged myself to try 100 new recipes. I didn't put a timeframe on this, but I'm certain I'll complete my challenge in 1 year. I've kept a running list of all the recipes on my phone. A more organized person would have blogged about each recipe, or kept a photo album on Facebook. I'm not that organized...you'll have to be happy with the list. 

Many of the recipes were tried during Racecar Woman days; so you haven't been kept in the dark too much. But since I'm a great blogger I have a few additional pictures to share. 

Grasshopper Pie

Banana Bread

It appears, I literally only have a few pictures. Sorry guys, I thought I had more pictures you haven't seen. Anyways, here's to another 19 recipes I'll be trying out!

Weekend Update

It was a great weekend! It was fun, busy, and relaxing. Here's a recap of the weekend:

Friday Night

A group of friends and myself attended a fundraiser at the OKC Zoo. This is the third year for us to attend ZooBrew. We always have a great time hanging out with animals and tasting delicious adult beverages. 

Saturday

The first half of Saturday was relaxing. It was nice to rest and enjoy time with Postcard Puppies. They're so cute! 

Saturday Afternoon/Evening 

My family and I ran a 5k in support of a family who lost their son a few years ago. 

My mom and Canada Travis were our cheerleaders. It's important to have cheerleaders. After we ran 3 miles it was time to eat! 

Hamburgers are not complete without S'Mores! 

Sunday

The day of rest; which is what happened! 

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Fat Camp: Food

The Sisters and I made a variety of healthy food. Here's a peek of what we made over the weekend. 

Greek Chicken Salad 

Strawberry Banana Granola Bars

Sister #2 found the recipe only. It only calls for 6 ingredients. 

Blackberry Fruit Roll-Ups

Sadly, these did not turn out. I'm not for sure went wrong, we followed the directions. 

Ice Cream Sandwiches

These frozen graham cracker treats are tasty, and low in calories. I used strawberries, blueberries, and cool whip. I placed them in the freezer for about 3 hours.

Out of everything we made the salad and granola bars were my favorite. I foresee these recipes being used again. 

Fat Camp: Activities

This weekend, Fat Camp took place. A big thank you to The Sisters. Both participated in all Saturday activities; which I greatly appreciated. Also, thank you to Cool Coworker who participated in a few activities with us. If these fine friends wouldn't have participated, it would have been a boring Fat Camp! 

Here are some pictures from our weekend of Fat Camp. 

Jazzercise

Fat Camp started and ended with Jazzercise. 

Walk

The Sisters, Cool Coworker, and I walked around a fancy neighborhood. 

Hike

OKC isn't known for hiking, so we had to get creative. One of the parks in town has lots of trees, so we decided it counted as a hike. 

Yoga

It was The Sisters first yoga class. We had lots of laughs during class. 

Plank War

Sister #1 beat me in the plank war. She held her plank for over a minute. I made it 22 seconds. 

Tomorrow I'll post all the pictures of the yummy food we made. 

Fat Camp

A few months ago, Sister #1 invited me to a wellness retreat. It was a weekend away where all we do is workout. The website listed activities like yoga, running, hiking, weight lifting, and healthy food suggestions. So, it's fat camp. 

Don't worry, the suggestion of going to fat camp did not offend me. Sister #1 knew this would not offend me. In fact, she knew I'd be all over a fitness retreat. Naturally, she was right.

This weekend, The Sisters and I are putting on our own fat camp. We figured, why pay hundreds of dollars to attend fat camp when we can make our own fat camp? This weekend will be full of workout activities!!! The best part, most of our activities will be free!! So here's our weekend lineup: 

All activities are subject to change. Mostly, because there are rain chances this weekend. But as you can see, by Sunday we will look like this: 

In your face expensive fat camp!!!!

The orange bag that never worked

Blogger World, meet Sister #1's suitcase...

Do you see it? Sorry the picture is blurry. It's because I was laughing so hard. I'm referring to the orange bag. 

You see, Sister #1's bag does not work. It's never worked. Can you guess the problems?????? 

If you guessed the handle you are half correct. The second problem is one of the wheels does not roll. 

Sister #1 has been attempting to roll this bag for years. The result is pretty

hilarious, and it does entertain my family. However, it's time for her to get a new bag. Blogger World, please help me encourage her to purchase a new suitcase! Please!!!

Few of my favorite things....

Every so often I blog about my newest favorite things. Most of the time these things involve food. This post is no different. As normal, love them or hate them. Whatever. 

Starbucks Very Berry Hibiscus Refresher 

Nothing will ever replace my beloved nonfat chai, but this is a nice refreshing treat. Sister #1 introduced me to this tasty beverage, and I want to make sure everyone knows about this beverage. Starbuck's menu can be overwhelming. 

Breakfast Burritos 

The past two weeks I've been starting my morning with an egg white, spinach, tomato, and cheese burrito. It's delicious and healthy! 

PW Batter Bowl

I do not own this adorable batter bowl yet, but come September 14th it will be mine. You can find Pioneer Woman's kitchenware at Wal-Mart. It's reasonably price and super cute! 

Chobani Greek Yogurt Flips

Delicious! My favorite flavor is pumpkin. 

Freezer full of prepared food

Obviously, this is not my freezer. However, I envy the person who owns this well organized freezer. One thing I do have in common with this organized freezer is the prepared food. Folks, it is so nice to have prepared food in the freezer. Sure, it takes hours to prepare the food, but it is well worth the time!!!

There you have it...my newest favorite things!

3 Day Weekend

Blogger World, you know I love a good 3 day weekend! I always feel like I get so much more accomplished with the extra day. This one was no different. A tiny bit of work was paired with a whole lot of fun! 

Postcard Puppies came for the weekend. 

They handled the city life pretty well.  No one escaped from the backyard, and neither dog destroyed my house. 

Delicious food was consumed over the weekend. 

I tried three new recipes. The first two pictures are two of the new recipes. I made black bean chicken taco/nachos.

Squash casserole. It was good, but not great. 

I didn't spend all weekend in the kitchen. Canada Travis and I enjoyed a tasty pizza and appetizers at Hideway Pizza.

Since I consumed so much delicious food, Jazzercise classes were necessary. I went to four classes over the weekend. My legs are sore from yesterday's 

class. 

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day Weekend! 

Insta-Lately

Here are a few pictures you'd find on my Instagram account...if I had one. 

Selfie with Postcard Puppies. Maggie isn't a fan of selfies.

We went golfing to celebrate my dad's birthday.

KD was golfing too.

Maggie took a selfie with Canada Travis. She loves him. 

My parent's new fancy kitchen.

I have no words for this picture. 

I'll end on that last picture. You're welcome Sisters!
