flashback friday: let’s go camping.

i’m not going to lie.

i haven’t been a very good meals & moves blogger.

i have taken maybe 10 photos since i last posted.

i haven’t worked out.

i haven’t read anything informative.

i have nothing for you.

what i HAVE been doing is spending upwards of $300 on food and camping gear in preparation for my 2 day camp trip.

a little ridiculous? probably.

hey, in my defense.. $20 of that went to my kombucha and marshall’s hansen’s sodas.

i suppose i will show you the few photos i do have on the ol’ camera card!

noodles & co.has their asparagus dish right now!

it is a limited time only dish. and it is my favorite.

it has asparagus, mushrooms, onions, peas and feta in a lemon sauce. i got it with whole wheat noodles and added chicken.

i ate it alongside a salad.

and alongside a (hairy) boyfriend.

he loves his grapefruit izze.

i didn’t mention this, but we are having izze sodas at the wedding. yes, he likes them that much.

we bought randy a campin’ backpack.

it is hard to get a clear photo of him. he hates it. poor guy.

you better believe he will be haulin’ his own food on the hike! ;)

today was waffle wednesday friday!

i wanted one thing and one thing only for breakfast today: a wafflewich.

two flax freezer waffles with 3 egg whites+1 whole egg sandwiched between them.. drizzled with SF syrup. simple and tasty.

some of you have asked how i get my eggs to take such a perfect shape for the wafflewich. i have a circular, flat bottomed dish. same size and shape as the waffles, actually. i spray the dish with cooking spray, put my eggs in, microwave on half power for 5 minutes and viola! perfect shaped eggs.

well. those are all the photos i have.

i’ll tell you about the camping meal plans! we bought a ton of supplies and will just make the meals as we see fit. we have two breakfasts, two lunches, two dinners and snacks!

• muesli
• greek yogurt
• coffee (we bought a special camping french press!)
• cereal / milk / almond milk
• eggs

snacks:

i love goblin valley. i used to go all the time but have not been in a number of years. it will be nice to go back! plus, the people i am going camping with (marshall, kristen & rory) have never been! it will be awesome.

flashback friday!

i thought i would show you some camping photos from years past. let’s face it, if you live in utah.. you gotta love the outdoors. i have been camping since i was a little kid. i have memories of camping from when i was maybe 4 years old, it is shocking that i remember that far back!

these are in no particular order. enjoy!

i am off to the desert.. this is penelope jane’s FIRST camping trip! yay!

i will be back monday. don’t worry, i have a couple posts lined up for while i am gone.

Qs~

1. do you like camping? you either love it or hate it. two extremes. i have never heard anyone say they are so-so on the issue.. but i could be wrong! i loooove it, obviously. i could lay in the dirt for a week and be content :)

2. weekend plans? hope you all have a great one!
