Things I’m Loving Lately VII

It’s Friday, so let’s start the weekend off with some of my favorites.

Homemade English Muffins

I made these Homemade English Muffins last week, and of course they are gone already. I know it doesn’t take that many ingredients to make bread items, so when I look on the back of a package of English muffins and see a dozen plus ingredients, I am not too pleased. I made these up one afternoon, and they really didn’t take that long!

Oiselle Mac Roga Short

I wore my Oiselle Mac Roga running shorts for the 10K on Saturday, and they were great! I love the color: Pop, and they were very comfortable to race in. Unfortunately I am kind of in between sizes, so they rode up a little but other than that they were great.

Oiselle Lighweight Track Pants

I am eyeing these Roga Pants to add to my running wardrobe. I don’t know what it is about them, but I think they are super fun and cute.

Native Sunglasses

I love these Native Flatirons sunglasses for running in and running errands in. They are a more casual style, but they also worked great for doing my long run. They stayed in place and didn’t steam up.

Venus Razors

The five blades are where it’s at. Three blades just don’t cut it anymore (pun intended). I also love that if I’m in a hurry, I don’t have to use shaving cream because of Olay moisture strips.

No-Knead Bread

I’ve professed my love for this bread before, and I’m raving about it again. This is super simple to make, especially if you don’t feel very confident making traditional bread as this does not require kneading. It does require you to let the dough ferment overnight, but other than that SUPER easy! My favorite type of bread: soft and chewy on the inside, crusty on the outside.

Protein Fruit Smoothies

After a hard workout, a lot of time ‘real’ food doesn’t sound appealing, which is why I often opt for a smoothie. Especially now that the weather is warming up, these chilled smoothies taste especially good. I add all sorts of different fruits (but always a banana), chia seeds, Greek yogurt, and right now hemp protein.

Birkenstocks

The word is that these are coming back in style. (I think the fact that nearly every pair on their website says it is backordered is a pretty good indication.) I would love this pair.
