Baking Up a Storm Filed under ( Breakfast, Dessert, Italian )

Happy weekend! Hope you're enjoying it. Last night, Josh and I ran out and picked up some food from a local deli. Josh got a pulled pork sammy and I made a monster salad from the salad bar. Unfortunately, I dropped half of it on the ground while getting out of the car when we got home (yikes!)...so hence no post last night. Two of our friends also came over and we had a relaxing night of movie watching.



Early this AM, I was at the gym for our Fitness Challenge day. The group fitness instructors put on the the beep test, 45 minutes of Body Step, 45 minutes of Body Pump, 30 minutes of Body Combat, Body Jam, and Body Flow! I coached and completed the beep test, taught part of Body Step, took Body Pump, and stayed for half of Combat. It was a fabulous workout but TOTALLY exhausting ;). Then I went food shopping and came home for some baking.



A fellow instructors 40th birthday party is tonight and I decided to make her up some home baked goodness including pumpkin muffins (getting sick of seeing these yet ;)):

And Big Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies:

I also prepped up some of my favorite 101 cookbooks pizza dough:

For the rest of the afternoon/evening, I plan to watch football (LETS GO PENN STATE!), relax, make dinner, and then we're headed into Charleston for the birthday party. Have a nice one!!
