Roasted Garlic Dairy-Free Mashed Potatoes

10.27.15

soooo. i had a different idea for what we should talk about this week and this isn't what i initially intended to post – but i'm still working out the kinks on that other idea… and i think it's going to be goooood.

BUT, let's be real. roasted garlic mashed potatoes that are whole30 (as in dairy-free, soy-free, sugar-free, and gluten-free) and completely DELISH. Read More

ummmm. today was my 10K! it went really well, i finished the race in 1:04:52 for an average pace of about ten minutes thirty seconds! i'm super proud of myself, i made it 4.3 miles without stopping which is better than what i did in any of my practice rounds it did start raining during the race and it was pretty darn cold and now that minor cold i've been pushing off for weeks is ready to rear its head…i just know it. guess i'll be making chicken soup tomorrow…
um also, i hit 100 miles on charity miles! that means i've raised $25 dollars for charity just by running/walking! don't forget to sign up and join my team – #thepikeplacekitchen
the beanie baby costume though. dying.
I ate SO MUCH good food this week – i've had visitors since Wednesday and we went to all the places and ate all the foods. including…. a ramen burger. DID I DIE AND GO TO HEAVEN? I MUST HAVE BECAUSE WHERE ELSE WOULD SUCH A THING EXIST?
today was the last NYCFC game of the season! its kind of sad to think i won't be going ever other week for the next few months… we totally signed up for season tickets again next year so don't fret.
this is my life right now.
TV. | Quantico |still really love this show… but i sort of felt like this week's episode didn't move as fast – there weren't as many twists and turns i thought. | Scandal | dare i say i was actually sort of into it this week? its honestly probably just because i watched two episodes. but i'm DYING to see where they go with Jakes storyline. | HTGAWM | SUCH A GOOD EP. i still stand by this one as my fall fave. | scream queens | WHO WOULD SAM HAVE KNOWNNNN IT WAS? i tried to think about it and i really think the only logical answer is Gigi. because Sam didn't really have much interaction with anyone else that wasn't with the rest of the group. idk i just cant figure it out but i love it.
so now that my 10k is over… what am i going to do for workouts? I'm debating between giving the Kayla Itsines guides a second try or just following the tone it up weekly workouts. sooo many choices. thoughts?
i really can't wait to go to sleep tonight. i'm hoping that i won't feel like crap when i wake up… cross your fingers?

Caramel Apple Mulled Cider

10.22.15

i know what you're thinking…. THIS GIRL IS SO BASIC.

and i can't argue. last week we talked apple crisp. this week we're talking caramel apple mulled cider like woah. NEXT WEEK WHATS NEXT?? Will i show you how to GROW apples? (spoiler: that's not on the schedule for next week i promise)

but seriously, my apple obsession might have reached new heights.

haiiiii. guess who ran her 10K test run today! it was my best time for such a long run – an average pace of 10'50” – which is totally not fast but i'm super proud of it.
also, don't forget to join charity miles to join #thepikeplacekitchen team and earn miles for charity! we've run 163 miles together so far which is SO amazing.
um. my friend cassie sent me this and it's TOTALLY amazing for a whole30! i LOVE my slow cooker and I even made a version of the ground beef curry today!
i made the most AMAZING spiked apple cider today. i can't wait to share it with you, so be on the lookout for a #thirstythursday post this week!
i love this! love love love it.
i still haven't watched hocus pocus yet and its KILLING ME.
tv tv tv. | quantico | i'm actually in love with this one! frankie and i just started watching today and it's super good, i love the mind twists! i love trying to figure it out. frankie thinks its too obvious but i feel like the teacher guy is framing her. | scream queens | i decided i really really like this show. i can't remember if i told you that or not. um I LOVE THIS. i think its super funny and hilarious in general. totally a winner in my book. frankie has a really good theory – he thinks the red devil is the baby. iiii think he totally could be right, but if so then i think Boon was the baby and the red devil that picked him up at the morgue was Gigi. GAH. idk so many twists and turns. | HTGAWM | we're watching this one right now! but like. NATES WIFE ASKING ANALISE TO KILL HER WHAT???? and i love that this show hasn't veered off and they still take new clients/cases etc. love love love that. and PS WHAT IS ASHER DOINNGGG?? | scandal | i haven't seen it yet, i'll probably watch tomorrow night!
this is both my life and my goals.
GIRAFFES SLEEPING IS THE CUTEST.
