James is excited.

No really, he is.  🙂

 

My car is back from the shop (I was in an accident last Thursday).  It’s as good as new now – AND I finalllly get to put my Marathon sticker on!

All, down to business:

 

Afternoon snacks included 1/2 a melon and Honey Nut Cheerios.

And dinner was 1.5 cups of brown rice with a little Alfredo sauce mixed in, with a side of roasted mushrooms, broccoli, parsnip, potatoes, and carrots.

I am happy to say that I think I have learned to LIKE veggies.  It’s all about finding a method (like roasting with EVOO and pepper) and a variety of good veggies.  I LOVE Potatoes. 🙂

Well kids… tonight I am going bowling.  And drinking beer(s).  Maybe snagging a few French fries.  :)   I bet I break 100 this time!

 

Hope you’re having a nice night, too.  🙂

    It took me the longest time to figure out what was going on near James’ tail… I thought Maggie’s ear was an extra tail of his or something, haha.

    Have fun bowling!

    • Shelly January 30, 2010, 10:33 am

      I saw the same thing!

  • Island Girl Eats January 29, 2010, 8:59 pm

    When it comes to veggies (and liking them!) you have to make them interesting like you did tonight.

    Have fun bowling.

  • Evan Thomas January 29, 2010, 9:14 pm

    I really could not live without veggies any which way, but roasting is like the king of preparation. You could probably roast a shoe and it’d be good

  • Lindsay Perrone (goodiesgalore) January 29, 2010, 9:20 pm

    Is that Maggies ear coming out of of James’s butt? Very funny.

  • Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg January 29, 2010, 9:21 pm

    Yay for civics!!!

    Mmmm…rice with alfredo sauce…that sounds like a good combo!

    Happy weekend!

  • Sam (Merit to the Carrot) January 29, 2010, 9:24 pm

    So very happy to hear that you’ve found a new appreciation for veggies and all they have to offer! Roasted = marvelous!

  • Tracey January 29, 2010, 9:26 pm

    I LOVE bowling. I used to do it all the time when I was back home in Nebraska. So fun!

  • Karla January 29, 2010, 9:35 pm

    I just got back from bowling! I had pizza and cookies! Great splurge! I scored 90!

    Have fun!

  • Julie January 29, 2010, 9:37 pm

    James! My goodness! Put it away!

  • Mara @ What's For Dinner? January 29, 2010, 9:37 pm

    James apparently liked Maggie’s nose up his butt… hilarious!

  • Allie (Live Laugh Eat) January 29, 2010, 9:43 pm

    Rock that sticker, Civic!! Have fun at the alley!

  • Cynthia (It All Changes) January 29, 2010, 9:47 pm

    I was just thinking who is Caitlin….the Caitlin we’ve read hates veggies. But you are right it is all about the method of prep. Roasting imparts so much flavor 🙂

  • Annie January 29, 2010, 9:50 pm

    I’m on a quest to learn to LOVE veggies! I thought I did, but upon starting my blog, I realized my diet had hardly ANY! Time to amp it up! Your veggie-filled dinner looks amazing!

    • Jessica @ The Process of Healing January 29, 2010, 10:12 pm

      Me too!! Having a blog has for sure brought more veggies into my life. I’m always looking for new ways to prepare them and make them exciting!

  • Jenna @ RunEatRide January 29, 2010, 10:04 pm

    James is too cute! 🙂 Have fun bowling!

  • Jenna January 29, 2010, 10:09 pm

    You are lovin bowling lately caitlin!

  • Jessica @ The Process of Healing January 29, 2010, 10:11 pm

    Have fun bowling, and your dinner sounds great! Having a great way to prepare them and add tons of flavor is KEY! You can’t eat steamed veggies forever and actually enjoy them.

    And this sounds pretty lame but I totally just now realized what 26.2 means.. wow.. I see them on cars all of the time and i’ve always wondered. Gee.. blonde moment..

  • Erin (Travel, Eat, Repeat) January 29, 2010, 10:14 pm

    Woo hoo love the new bumper sticker!

  • Jenna @ EatingGreen, StayingLean January 29, 2010, 10:20 pm

    That’s awesome! I’m just entering the world of ‘roasting veggies’ because they’re delicious. If you’re a parsnip fan, try roasting parsnips and carrots (chopped to the same size) with evoo, garlic powder, salt and pepper in the oven for about 30-40ish minutes @ 400 degrees.

    It’s yummy!

    Also, have a great time bowling…it’s always fun with a few beers 🙂

  • Tyler Ramey January 29, 2010, 10:23 pm

    Your veggies look amaaaaazing. We’re planning another spin-a-thon soon…you in??? 😉

  • Tiffany @ A Dantat's Life January 29, 2010, 11:10 pm

    mmmm…. I also think roasted veggies are one of the best methods of cooking them! Have fun bowling!

  • Tiffany January 29, 2010, 11:27 pm

    Uh oh….the dreaded “lipstick” is making an appearance!

    • Caitlin January 30, 2010, 1:08 pm

      Pink Rocket!

  • Katharine January 29, 2010, 11:36 pm

    I have a Honda Civic too and LOVE it. They are the best cars – glad to hear yours is back in perfect health and proudly wearing its new sticker. 🙂

  • Foy Update - Cook. Garden. Write. Repeat. January 30, 2010, 12:57 am

    I love roasted vegetables. I’ve been buying Brussels sprouts and roasting them with potatoes and sweet potatoes for dinner every night. Drizzel a little olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano, basil, hot pepper, thyme and rosemary. It sounds like a lot of spices but they really help the flavor. Sooo good!

  • Heather (Heather's Dish) January 30, 2010, 2:19 am

    i just had a couple of beers, and it was so great to just sit back and relax! hope you guys have a wonderful evening 🙂

  • Freya @ foodfitnessandfreya.wordpress.com January 30, 2010, 3:07 am

    good luck bowling! I suck at it so bad :'( I always need the safety rails up!!
    I love roasted veggies too, brings out the flavour 😀

  • Jenn (www.j3nn.net) January 30, 2010, 5:09 am

    I think I’ve always liked veggies… I just liked other things more most of the time LOL. Your roasted veggies look sooo good! They taste best that way, IMO.

  • michelle January 30, 2010, 8:15 am

    I love James. 🙂 He’s too cute! Love your 26.2 sticker – I get to add mine to my car on Sunday when I run Miami!

  • Kloé January 30, 2010, 8:39 am

    Your dog is SO BEAUTIFUL! I want one, but not as long as I’m still living in an apartment… cause it’s gonna be a Big dog ;-)and on a side note, I feel that parsnip is often overlooked, but it’s so flavorful!
    РKlo̩

  • Bridget January 30, 2010, 8:48 am

    Glad that your car is back, 26.2 sticker and all!

    Roasted veggies are the best kind! My mom always boiled them…not nearly as appetizing (except artichokes). I wonder how roasted artichokes would be…hmm. Very glad that you have developed a taste for vegetables, though-there are so many! 🙂

  • Heather January 30, 2010, 8:57 am

    Hope you had fun bowling! I love to bowl. I have a bowling event for work next week and am really looking forward to it!

  • hemp jogger January 30, 2010, 8:58 am

  • Abby January 30, 2010, 9:38 am

    Civic love!!! And training for a marathon just so I can put a sticker on my civic!

  • Heather @ Side of Sneakers January 30, 2010, 9:57 am

    There’s something about marathon stickers that really make you feel official 🙂

  • brandi January 30, 2010, 10:49 am

    hope you had fun last night!

    aren’t roasted mushrooms awesome? they’re one of my favorites.

  • Gracie @ Girl Meets Health January 30, 2010, 11:05 am

    All I can say is LOL!!!!

    ….is no one else noticing what my eyes went directly to?! bahah.

    • Caitlin January 30, 2010, 1:08 pm

      haha yes. pervert.

  • Kelly January 30, 2010, 11:16 am

    I love the marathon sticker!! woot woot!

  • Meghan@traveleatlove January 30, 2010, 11:20 am

    Yum, I don’t love rice normally, but adding alfredo sauce sounds good!

  • Nicole January 30, 2010, 11:55 am

    My hubby and I were just looking into bowling leagues 🙂 Beer, fries, and bowling…fun! I hope you broke 100!

  • lauren @ Eater not a runner January 30, 2010, 12:07 pm

    Bowling sounds fun, good luck!

  • Amber K January 30, 2010, 12:14 pm

    Breaking 100? Now that’s a game of bowling for me! That’s always my goal. =)

  • Retta @ RunRettaRun January 30, 2010, 12:28 pm

    I love seeing those stickers on peoples’ cars. I can’t wait to get one of my own!! WHOOP!

  • Jamie January 30, 2010, 12:48 pm

    the marathon sticker is awesome!!! and i’m so glad you are getting on the veggie train; once you find the way you like them prepared you’ll be addicted!!

  • Jolene (www.everydayfoodie.ca) January 30, 2010, 4:22 pm

    Your brown rice looks so good – I love alfredo sauce!

  • Showty January 30, 2010, 10:59 pm

    I love your blog! I’ve just got a 13.1 sticker on my car, but maybe one day will have a 26.2, maybe! I am running my second half on April 24 with my best friend. Come by our blog and watch our progress! mommygetfit.blogspot.com

  • Allison K February 1, 2010, 6:42 pm

    hahaha. I laughed so hard at that picture of James! My dog has that problem…sometimes when we are getting ready to go for our run in the mornings, he is so excited he just starts humping the air….TMI?
