What’s coming out of your speedo?!?
Any Spartan cheerleader fans out there? Definitely one of my fave SNL skits, back in the day. 
Anywho…how goes your Friday? Mine is off to an excellent start!
This morning, I caught up on blogs (my google reader list just keeps growing and growing…) while drinking my coffee, and then I buckled down and wrote for about an hour and a half. Around 11, Ryan and I put on MULTIPLE layers and took the dogs out for a quick walk—it is COLD here! I think warmer weather might be on the way though…and it’s sunny, so at least there’s that, right?
Before we left on our walk, my stomach was growling, so I snacked on this little bar (by Gluten Free Cafe?) that was leftover from our Seattle trip:
This was good! It was just a chewy, cinnamony bar with lots of seeds. It was really chewy and sweet—just what I like! Only 150 calories, too! I’d buy it again.
When we got back, my muscles were all warmed up, so I hopped on the treadmill for a nice run. I did 5 miles in 46 minutes, which felt awesome! I was varying the speed back and forth between 6.2 mph and 7.2 mph the whole time, which kept me from getting bored.
And then, it was time for lunch: burrito time, that is!
I picked up this bad boy at our natural foods store a while back, but kind of forgot about it for a while. There are all sorts of things to discover in our freezer, apparently!
I hadn’t tried this brand before– Gluten Freeda’s– but I appreciate a good play on words as much as the next English teacher, so into our basket it went:
Usually when I get a hankering for a frozen burrito (which isn’t really that often), I stick with Amy’s. But, this burrito was pretty good, I have to say. Lots of beans and rice action going on.
The top got kind of prehistoric landscapey in the microwave for some reason:
But it still tasted great! I smothered the burrito as well as my carrots with some all-natural mango habanera salsa. Usually I feel like salsas that are labeled “medium heat” aren’t spicy enough for me, but this salsa is hot, baby!
My mouth was burning by the end of this meal…so I cooled it down with a crisp, sweet apple:
Some of you asked about our Scrabble game last night. It was going well, but got cut short when Ella decided to help Ryan with a triple word score:
Baxter had to get in on the action too, of course:
Game over! Perhaps a rematch is in order for tonight? Happy Friday, everyone! Have a great day!

I love Amys burritos, so I would probably love those ones too. And yes, I love that SNL skit.

Your doggie is too cute! I haven’t tried that burrito, but I love Amy’s. Looks good!

Too funny, your dogs look just like ours do when we try to sit on the couch to play games. That’s when they MUST be in your lap and they do so very stealthily. As in, when you’re not looking, they leap into your face!

LOL – that’s how it is when I try to stretch after working out or abs. Impossible. Should be a new type of workout!

mmm, I want that burrito!! I wish there was actually a real “gluten free cafe”, or at least a wheat free one! I’d go there everyday.
Have a great weekend

I’ve never tried any of the Amy’s frozen products but keep hearing how good they are. Maybe it’s worth trying sometime…

Oh I had that burrito for lunch today too!! I picked it up at Sprouts the other day and I liked it! I thought it was filling and it totally hit the spot…plus GLUTEN FREE! YAY! Great minds must think alike!

I’ve never tried a frozen burrito.. I like the real deal too much and I’m scared the frozen variety would turn me off from burritos forever!

I actually crave Amy’s spinach and tofu frozen burrito. I would eat it every day if I could.
