{Friday Five Foodie Finds #18}

March 16, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

 

Happy Friday Friends!

Well I was going to run 6 miles this morning.  

Then when my alarm clock went off I convinced myself I should just run after class…and therefore right before work.

We will see how that goes huh?  With warm temps and little time to run a distance that I’m not sure I’ve ever run before?  Will I make it to work on time to serve the folks coming into the wing-n-beer joint to watch March Maddness?

I suppose that does give me time to do my Friday Five Foodie Finds this morning!

Gotta look on the bright side, right?

Stacked Roasted Vegetable Enchiladas by Perry’s Plate 
adapted from The Roasted Vegetable

This recipe needs to happen in my kitchen and fast.  I saw it a couple of weeks ago and was drooling the whole week.  So many veggies!!

Chia Seed Peanutbutter Cookies from Yummy Mummy Kitchen guest-posting at The Realistic Nutritionist

I made cookies similar to these, however I did not use eggs at all.  I am curious to see how these would turn out!

Nutella Poptarts by Karen Milling at Blog Her

Um poptarts were consumed by me almost daily in highschool.  Brown-sugar cinnamon to be exact.  Homemade poptarts?  Yes please!

Oatmeal Smoothies via Martha Stewart

I’ve been wanting to make fruit smoothies lately to get some fruit in my life.  (Did you see my Berry Healthy Fruit Smoothie??  SO GOOD!)  This one has oatmeal in it so I am so curious as to whether it tastes good…it sure looks pretty doesn’t it?

Do you think Martha Stewart herself came up with this idea?  And decided to use this cup?  I always wonder…

Shrimp Pasta with Tomato and Basil via Inspired Taste

This looks so fresh and summery AND semi-healthy!  I have never cooked with shrimp before and this seems like a new adventure to me!

Please check out Inspired Taste‘s blog.  The recipes are so creative and the photography so wonderful.  (Hopefully you will not ditch my pathetic blog once you see theirs…)

If you were featured on my Friday Five Foodie Finds list, feel free to grab a button!  
 
That means YOU Martha! 😉

Have a lovely weekend all!  And send all the prayers you can to me and my six miles!  
(Kidding, there are many other, more important things to be prayed about!!)

*~Amanda aka Semi-Health Nut~*

Questions:
What are you up to this weekend?  I’m off to the farm with the BF!  A little relaxing, riding through cornfields, and probably a lot of homework…

What’s your favorite poptart flavor?  Brown sugar here!!
