Let’s hope that the rest parajumpers New Denali of Wednesday turns out to be as healthy as the first half!

Well….the afternoon is typically where I break down! I couldn’t resist some home-made carrot raisin banana muffins…and maybe a chocolate chip cookie or 2! I just like to think of it as carb-loading for our Wednesday night run-club.wiaw14

Dinner: buffalo cauliflower “wings”, spaghetti squash, yam, broccoli and “cheeze” saucewiaw12wiaw11

This “cheeze” sauce is dairy free and high in B-vitamins thanks to my good friend nutritional yeast.

Dessert: peanut butter banana chocolate “ice cream”

Mix frozen banana chunks with PB2 and almond milk
