My Princess has returned to her kingdom.
I need to give a BIG THANKS to my sister, Kelly, for watching Maddie while I was in Tallahassee this weekend. Maddie can be a bit high maintenance, so major kudos to Kelly & Anthony for keeping up with her. I owe you big time!
Maddie was ecstatic to be home and made a few laps around the apartment before passing out due to pure exhaustion from her weekend with her cousin Oliver.
Poor thing can barely lift her head she’s so pooped. 
While Maddie slept I ran a couple Sunday errands and snacked on an Amazing Grass Green SuperFood Bar.
Tonight I had zero energy to cook or prep a big elaborate meal. Instead I made a quick and easy salad.
I started with a bowl of cucumber, tomatoes, broccoli, and raisins.
Then coated the veggies with a dollop of Jalapeno and Cilantro Hummus I found at the Publix deli.
Everything went on top of a bed of Kale that I had massaged with vinegar and olive oil and let stand for 30 minutes
With a serving of Kashi Crackers on the side.
It was a tasty green meal.
Dessert was 1/2 of one of Amanda’s Peanut Butter Cup Blondies.
The rest of my plans for the evening include snuggling with Maddie and watching Twilight for the millionth time. Since seeing New Moon I can’t get the first movie off my mind.
Good Night!
Oh and I know I have been slacking to remind you this weekend, but please don’t forget to keep the votes coming for the Sam-e Good Mood Gig!

your photos are looking SO good, meghann! i hope you get the canon rebel you’re hoping for for christmas!
Your dinner looks delicious, but I would be starving if that (+a few pancakes + half a sandwich) was all I ate after a 16mile run!!!!!
Oh well, I guess you’ve just adapted.

Maddie and Chooey need to meet
You had me at jalapeno hummus – YUM! Off to go vote!
I made jalapeno edamame hummus a couple of weeks ago. Talk about tasty!
That dinner sounds good but that dessert sounds better! And it’s so great when a pet appreciates you coming home. that always makes me smile with my montana
Sometimes a big salad is exactly what you want for dinner and perfectly hits the spot.
Do you think you ate enough to compensate for 16 miles today? How do you make sure you get enough calories? I hope this doesn’t sound rude, I don’t mean it to be! I am just curious as to how you make sure you eat enough after long runs!
Love all the green
glad maddie is happy to be home with you~

I love big salads for Sunday night dinners. I’m always tempted to hit up the Whole Foods salad bar, too bad it’s so expensive! Tonight I made a big green bowl of: romaine, spinach, avocado, and sugar snap peas.
Jalepeno hummus? I’ve never seen that before but it looks delicious. Yummm. Good luck with the good mood gig thing!
Aww. look at Maddie! I love the pictures that you post of her
I love the new lens that you’ve been using! I think I’m going to ask for it for Christmas because I love how the foreground is sharp and the background is blurry (called depth of focus, right?). I love my new DSLR but feel like there is so much to learn about it! I hope you have your own lovely under the tree this Christmas, too!

Glad you (and Maddie) made it home safe!!! Enjoy your relaxing night!
Those peanut butter cup blondies look fantastic.
Aw, cute little Maddie! Glad you made it back safe and sound!
Maddie is so cute and looks very happy to be home! I would love to try massaged kale0 it sounds so good!
Love your massaged kale – is it hard to do? Must it be massaged????? I haven’t seen New Moon yet – GASP – I hate myself.
Jalapeno hummus… awesome
whoa, publix has hummus?? i’ve never seen it!! gotta keep an eye out
Looks like some great eats and what an adorable princess you have there!
I got hooked on TJ’s cilantro hummus. Soo so good!
Man that bowl of greens look so good. After a weekend of lots of eating that’s definitely what I need before Thanksgiving!
Love the Target bowls! And your kale/green veggies always look so good. Is that raw?
Yes, its raw. But only because I was too lazy to cook.
She is so cute!! I’ve been meaning to try kale in a salad but I’ve never eaten it raw and I’m a little nervous!
Your dog is absolutely adorable.. Her ears are so perky! And the greens in the salad look divine. I’m happy to try this for a dinner salad.. I’m guessing the hummus makes an excellent addition!
