Happy Marathon Monday!  Coincidentally, I ran a marathon, my final one for 2015, this past Saturday.  I found this awesome little trail marathon/relay right after I completed my 50k and thought it sounded fun.  I was right.  It totally was fun!

I’m so excited to share that I’m the newest Garmin Ambassador.  I’ve been wearing and using Garmin products for the last ten years – since I got back into running.  In fact, my whole family uses Garmin products from cycling, to swimming to my heart rate training for my latest ultra marathon.

As I’m getting to meet new friends over at Garmin – they wanted to pick my brain about Thanksgiving and tips and tricks for staying on track this holiday season.  They posed several fun questions that I answered here. Pop over and check out my tips and tricks for holiday eating and fitness.  I even shared my family’s favorite dish for Thanksgiving.

Blessed and thankful for each of you.  Wishing you all a wonderful holiday filled with laughter, joy and happiness.

Happy Friday!!!  This weekend promises to be super busy getting ready for our company/Thanksgiving food preparations.  How about you?  My husband took the day off today to help me out and hopefully grab some sushi along the grocery-filled journey.  I haven’t had sushi in forever and I’m craving big time but I digress… Do you host or bring a dish to someone’s home for Thanksgiving?

This week I started to think about my favorites.  I thought of gift ideas for the upcoming holidays, running and just flat out food favorites.  I hope you enjoy this installment of Friday Favorites.

This past Sunday my oldest and I took time away for a mom/daughter day.  My youngest was at a sleepover for church and it was the perfect time.  No college tours that weekend (thankfully) so we were free to head out.  After we were done running around we headed over to Trader Joe’s to pick up some of our staples and I found this…

Couldn’t resist.  We love honey crisp apples and I knew exactly what I wanted to make… these baked donuts.  I was testing out some recipes for breakfast goodies for Thanksgiving week when our family arrives.  These are perfect.  Vegan, gluten free and totally seasonal.  If you don’t have a donut pan use a mini muffin pan and make donut holes.  Equally as exciting!

Maple Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas. Vegan. GF.

I’ve had a super large can, meaning 6 lbs, of chickpeas sitting on my counter for about a month.  Obviously I would need to make several recipes to use all of these little chickpeas up.  Yesterday was a rest day for me so I thought I would tackle it while I was recipe testing for an upcoming job.  I wanted to make a sweet version of roasted chickpeas as I normally do savory all the time.  I wanted seasonal flavors and a protein-packed treat that would provide both the crunch factor and be able to curb your sweet cravings.  Plus, my teenagers love them!  Winning.

Chickpeas are filled with fiber – filling you so you don’t overeat like traditional snacks like chips or chocolate.   Protein for vegans or vegetarians.  Manganese for energy. Iron source. Lower bad cholesterol.  And finally they help stabilize blood sugars.  And I have the perfect way to get them nice and a crunchy in the oven.

Yesterday in the midst of my Monday, while scrolling through my Instagram feed, I stumbled upon a picture that stopped me dead in my tracks.  The marketing person that I am – this brain identification process is called your reticular activating system.  Your attention to drawn to those things you are interested in. Makes sense, right but it’s a little bit more than that. Let’s say you’re looking for a car – you decide on car X and you start to notice car X everywhere.  That’s why!  I digress, I noticed this lentil loaf recipe from Lindsay Cotter over at Cotter Crunch.  I’ve been wanting to make a lentil loaf for ages but have been too busy with other jobs and training… such is life.  But her photos just spoke to me.  I knew this was my dish I wanted to make for Thanksgiving for the vegan/gf option.  Today, was my day to make this and I’m so glad I did!

How was your weekend?  Mine was good.  Friday we headed out to Pittsburgh to tour the university with our oldest.  We stayed over and Saturday was so much fun.  The minute we stepped out of the car she looked at me with THAT look.  That – “This is IT!!” look.  My heart was elated and deflated simultaneously.  The other schools we looked at were closer.  I think I took comfort in that.  The campus was electrified as they were getting ready to battle Notre Dame in football.  School spirit was insane.  We did our meetings and tour and then headed out with a friend of my daughter’s.  We took him to center city and had lunch.  Took him to stock up on some goodies for his dorm room and mainly picked his brain about everything Pitt.  My daughter… sold!

Sunday we got up and ran and came home and did busy work.  Before I knew it the day was almost half over and I needed to make dinner.  I wasn’t going to the grocery store so I had to work with what I had on hand, which wasn’t much but a well-stocked pantry.  I grabbed Mary Mattern’s Nom Yourself cookbook and went with this recipe slightly modified.  It turned out beautifully with minimal effort.  So good and perfect for busy weeknights and leftovers are perfect for lunch.

Happy Friday!!!  Particularly happy that I woke up with no pain today and my legs feeling remarkably good after my impromptu marathon yesterday.  Always a win.  Before I head off to my PT to have some maintenance work done on my legs I wanted to get up my Friday Favorites post up.  Plus I need to pack and get ready to head out for the weekend.  Heading to a new city to visit a new university in the pursuit of higher knowledge for our daughter.  College touring continues…
