Good Morning <3
It’s the weekend and Im sure many of you are happy about that, to be honest, I am excited too. Most people would think, she has no job so why is she so excited for the weekend?
I know I don’t have a technical job that makes me leave the house, I just blog and I blog because I love it and enjoy the happiness it brings me every single day. I do make a little money but nothing to make a living off of, which is fine with me! I get excited for the weekends because I get to spend time with Mike and Anthony, so yes I love the weekends!
Lets rewind to yesterday, well at least late afternoon and dinner!
Snack
Sliced Fuji apple, sunwarrior protein frosting, and brown rice krisps
Dinner
Spinach salad with veggies, grape tomatoes, and a teriyaki salmon burger.
Dressing- 3 tbsp hot and sweet mustard, stevia, 2 tbsp balsamic
This morning was a pumped up morning…
Pumpkin Protein Pizza
Ingredients- 1 high fiber pita, pumpkin protein frosting, sugar free maple syrup, granola
The pita I cooked up on a skillet until it was browned, made the pumpkin frosting, cut up the pita into 4 pieces and topped with the frosting. Add maple syrup and granola on top too, or whatever you please!
Protein? check!
Fiber? check!
Delicious? check!
Loved this breakfast and might be repeating it the next 3 days until my pumpkin is used up 
This is the granola I used and have been using forever, its always in my pantry. I of course have bought and used other granolas but this one has been a staple. Bear Naked is great granola 
Here are the stats on it too, in case you wanted to see. It has great stats compared to some granolas that can be very high in sugar, so you have to watch if you are watching your sugar intake
Have a wonderful day friends, whatever it leads to be, make it a great one!

{ Questions of the Day }
Do you look at nutrition labels before you buy something?
What do you look for the most? Sugar, carbs, or fat?
I do look at labels, Im a label whore, excuse my language, but its true! I mainly look for sugar per serving and I do look at ingredients as well, make sure there is not a list longer than my life to do’s list! Haha!

i look at labels, but try not to obsess over the content and focus on my body and how it feels when i’m eating. that being said, i think it’s good to be aware of healthy foods your body does crave and need to thrive. i generally try to keep a portion size of a meal/snack with low sugar in processed foods (3grams). (my nutritionist’s recommendation).
your salad last night looks yummy!!
Yup! We sure do look @ nutrition labels. We check out calories, protein, fiber, and sodium in that order
We <3 bear naked too! our fave is triple berry crunch!!!
The berry one is great too! Happy Weekend!
Calories, protein, sugar, fat, and sodium are all things I check out – and the ingredient list!
You are a label addict ; ) ha! <3
I know what you mean about waiting for the weekends to come. I don’t have a technical job either. I’m lucky that Scott works from the home office so that I get to see him all the time. That’s why we travel for extended periods of time. I just look forward to hanging out with friends and family on the weekends because of they have 9-5 jobs and don’t have much time during the week.
I’m a label whore too and I think that’s a good thing to be.
Well, that is nice Scott is home though! Mike is not, so weekends are precious to us!!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend girl! <3
Hi, I tried making your Strawberry Chia Oats last night (minus the protein powder), but it came out soggy:( All the liquid didn’t absorb & it didn’t look as good as yours. How do you make all the Almond milk absorb into the oats? Should I use less milk since I’m not using protein? Yours looks so yummy! Thanks!
Yes i always look at labels, I never throw anything into the card without consulting the nutrition label!
Hi Christina!
Sorry to hear it did not come out good for you, I am SURE the no protein powder was why! I would say use a little less liquid then, and see what happens from there! You could always add more liquid in the morning if you feel it would need more! Chia seeds are key too, maybe add a extra spoon of them!
Happy Weekend love!
I look at labels mainly for the ingredients, then fiber & protein. That salad looks yummy! I know the feeling about the weekends, love to spending some quality time with the fiance. I was just looking at our schedule and am bummed that next weekend is crazy and we’ll prob not be spending so much time together. Ahh what it is to love and be loved.
Have an awesome day!
Just think…..married this year!!!!! Absence makes the heart grow fonder ; )
Happy Weekend love!
pumpkin protein pizza – yum!!!
and we are not too big on nutrition labels, as long as it is ‘real’ food with ‘real’ ingredients we do not really care too much. we might glance at them but do not really make them a deciding factor a whole lot.
HUGS
Happy Friday
Yeah, I read them but mainly I just check sugar, too much sugar and I do not agree!
Happy Friday to you both! <3
I actually have pumpkin to use up so I think this pizza is the perfect way to use it!
If you do, you will love it!
I look at labels too. It’s shocking what some “healthy” foods have for nutrition stats!
I know, so true! Happy weekend girl!
I LOVE that granola! I know it seems like every blogger in the world is obsessed with Love Grown Granola, and it’s good… but I like Bear Naked better! It’s less clumpy and just the right amount of sweetness for me
That pizza is rockin!
Me too! I love it and always have for a while now!
Happy weekend love!
Mmmmm…that protein pizza looks absolutely divine!
Are you back to using the original protein powder now? That stuff is SO different to the blend, it gets everywhere though, lol! 
I make such a mess on my clothes – it’s so fine! Ah well…totally normal to have sunwarrior hand prints all over your work clothes, right!? 
Hope you have an absolutely wonderful weekend with your boys! <3 xyx
Girlll you are so cute! I love your bloggie these days
I always check the nutrition label…I usually concentrate the most on sugar since it seems to really effect me if I have too much at the wrong time. haha!
haha I kind of love that language because I’m a label whore too!
Happy Friday love!!
That protein pizza looks delicious! I do look at labels, but usually just to see the calories per serving, the ingredients, and amount of sugar! Happy Friday! I hope you have a fabulous weekend
It is! Hope you are doing well and happy weekend to you too love!
i’m seeing pizza EVERYWHERE lately! haha i’m craving it like crazy right now and wish i wasn’t stuck at my dang work desk so YES i’m amped its the weekend
you get your time with mike this weekend girrrrrrrrrrl xoxo
Yes, lover time Im excited for!!!
Happy weekend to you! <3
Yep, definitely a label whore here!
Over the years, what I pay attention to has changed though…I used to ONLY look at calories, but now I care more about protein, carbs and ingredients.
I just bought Bear Naked Vanilla Almond Crunch last week for the first time and I’m loving it. I usually get Udi’s, but felt like switching it up. Variety is the spice of life!
Gchat Monday or Tuesday for sure!! What time? xoxo
I often end up making my own granola because of the sugar content in most store-bought granolas – this one is impressive! 4g a serving is not at all bad, wow, I might have to check that out next time I’m in a time crunch and can’t make my own!
Just went back and saw your fashion post- so pretty! Can you maybe do a fashion board one of these days ( like the complete outfits) ? Have a Happy Friday!!!
Sarah! Hi love! Sure I can! : )
Love reading labels especially ingredients!
I always look at nutrition labels!! I look at the ingredients for the most part, but for nutrition I’m always on the lookout for hidden sugars. Fats I don’t care that much, but sugar and protein is a must! The higher the protein the better
Have a blessed weekend KT~
