Hey everyone! I hope you all had a good weekend, I certainly did! If you missed it, here is my
weekly workout roundup, posted yesterday. On Friday I got lunch with a few friends, and afterwards walked around and did a little shopping. Well,
Kelsey did shopping and I just found every way possible to look ridiculous:
I would like to note that Kelsey purchased that tiny hat. On Saturday,
Kelsey,
Lindsay and I went out for lunch with
Emily for her birthday! We had lunch at
Tweet, where I ordered a Caprese omelet, and the most amazing gluten free cinnamon raisin bread (unpictured) on the side.
Since Tweet was in Uptown, we checked out Emily's favorite Asian grocery store on our way back to the Red Line. We had a blast walking around and checking out all of the products (and live fish and crustaceans!).
We all ended up walking out with at least one Kobucha squash, so in true blogger form we had to get our picture taken:
It was great spending so much time with my friends! Another great part of my weekend? Making this
Peanut Cashew Butter!
I wanted to bring everyone a little gift from my
Vitamix, so I
found this recipe on the Vitamix website.
Ingredients: 2 cups roasted cashews (I used 50% salted from Trader Joe's) 2 cups roasted peanuts (I used unsalted)
Directions: BLEND! For the vitamix, start at variable 1 on low, slowly increase and then switch to high. If you don't have a Vitamix, you can always make nut butters in a food processor. Just be sure to use a spatula to push the butter down the side until it's all mixed in together. Obviously I had to share with my friends!
Have you ever been to an Asian grocery? Have you ever made your own nut butter? What flavor would you make if you could?
