Back to the Real World

Lara, Amanda, Lara's friends, and I, did not spend our spring break drinking our week way; we spent it eating. Lots and lots of eating. From ice cream on the boardwalk, to pizza and Mexican at Disney World, and lots of Mama and Papa Gould's cooking--it looked like I may as well have eaten one of the other girls at the end of the trip. Binge eating: my weakness.
Pizza from Italy (in Epcot, Disney, of course) Topped with Mozzarella cheese, truffle oil, and artichoke hearts : it stole my heart. 

Chocolate chip banana and Blueberry muffins Mama Gould had waiting for us

And of course in a Jewish household, who could resist bagels???

So in order to get my system back where it needs to be (plus I have to look good when I visit Lara, I'm her formal date...romantic <3), I'm spending the next two weeks cleansing my body. This means no extra sugar, no salt, and none of the junk I was inhaling in Florida (see pictures above).

Mark and I went grocery shopping when we got home (after a quick trip to the mountains to watch the sunset) to pick up everything that I'll need for the next couple of weeks. We had gotten taco salads after Amanda and I landed in Phoenix, so I wasn't too hungry until around 7:30 pm. Even then I wasn't starving, so I made myself a fruit bowl and nibbled some almonds while Mark taught me how to bake chicken in the oven. I've literally never done that by myself until now, learn something new every day I suppose :)
Thinly sliced chicken breasts topped with minced garlic and pepper (cook at 350 for around 1/2 an hour)

The chef hard at work

Fresh fruit, forever my weakness. Those blackberries were gone within the hour
