Ripe bananas

random plate of food: salmon, sauteed mushrooms, and a piece of spinach and ricotta cannelloni.
I had a pretty lazy Sunday afternoon. It was spent reading, baking, and watching He's just not that into you, which I've already seen 2x lol..
I had a ton of ripe bananas staring at me on the counter so I decided to make really simple banana bread.

Substitutions:
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • generous splash of vanilla extract
  • sprinkle of salt
  • 4 ripe bananas
I always seem to forget that bread always tastes better when its cooled.. I can't help myself!!
I made myself some oven roasted steak and veggies for dinner and proceeded to rewatch one of the greatest movies of all time!! :-)
man.. I forgot how good this movie is.. My favorite quote that gives me the chills: "You be strong, you survive... You stay alive, no matter what occurs! I will find you. No matter how long it takes, no matter how far, I will find you."--- uhmm can you say Daniel Day Lewis heart swoon?!?!
The hubs later brought me some of his mother's home cookin.. I can't resist this either! It was so good.
fish, potatoes, rice, homemade spring rolls

Breakfast then gym!

banana bread with some almond butter spread on top- delish!

Gym time: I lifted for about 45 mins focusing on my back/chest. I'm still sick but I thought a little bit of weightlifting wouldn't hurt.
