The Return of the Shopaholic

Hey friends!! How’s everyone’s weekend going!?

I just returned from grocery shopping  My favourite pass time

I love grocery shopping and usually *cough* always *cough* buy more than I went for Last year, when I lived in residence, I bought more than my teenie weenie bar fridge could hold. Lucky me, I don’t have to deal with that this year Having said that, I am glad I lived on residence for my first year in London Things wouldn’t be the same if I didn’t. I wouldn’t change a thing

I bought a ton of groceries, as you can see above. The entire elevator ride up to my apartment I was giving thanks for my Dad’s brilliant idea to purchase the granny grocery stroller It sure helps me out when I get carried away at Costco!

I am so pumped that I have an incredible packed fridge and freezer now It gives me more inspiration for new recipes

Not like I am running out of ideas though…

This morning I developed another new fall-time recipe Call me obsessed with the new season?
I can’t get enough of the fresh apples here Definitely not something I got back in Saskatchewan

Apple Cinnamon Sweet Potato Cakes

1 sweet potato (4 oz.), grated

1/2 apple, peeled, cored, and grated

1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp egg whites

1 1/2 Tbsp soy flour

cinnamon

Mix all ingredients together

Take a 1/4 cup of mixture, press into measuring cup firmly, and drop onto heated skillet with olive oil

Flip the cake once golden on one side. Remove from heat once both sides are golden.

I served mine with a dollop of Greek yogurt on each cake and more cinnamon! (Along side 2 eggies!)

This breakfast fuelled my hammie & glutes workout that made me sweat!! I rarely sweat when working out. I usually only sweat during HIIT, but this was a killer leg workout inspired by Naomi Her workouts are intense I love them.

Homework has been going great today. I have completed all of my readings for Nutritional Assessment, now I will move onto Clinical then Advance Food Science. My to do list is getting smaller and smaller But it won’t if I keep chatting …

Enjoy your evening!
