Liberty Tap Room & Body Pump Launch Filed under ( group fitness, Restaurant Review )

Hey All! Couple quick things- First: thank you so much for your sweet words on my last post. For those of you who asked about Cashew Cream, a recipe can be found here (note: I never make a batch this large, you can make any size you want/need). If you prefer (and are not vegan), you can utilize regular cream in a 1:1 ratio in its place.

Second, a lot of you shared some great recipes that you made this past week, so I figured I’d pass a few of them along:

• Since I pulled my pesto recipe from a cookbook, I wouldn’t feel right posting it. In place of my recipe though, check out Jessica’s amazing recipe. I haven’t tried it, but knowing Jessica, its fabulous!
• Leah made this amazing Gomen Wat and Miso Soup
• Shannon made this root vegetable salad with orange dressing
• Holly made so many delicious looking pumpkin recipes this week including this pumpkin fluff dip
• Fitting Back In made Cooking Light’s Lemon Basil Shrimp
• Averie made her own awesome Raw Vegan Cheezy Spread
• Diana made this three bean salad I’ve been drooling over

Have you been enjoying your weekend? I certainly have. On Friday night, my husband and I and two of our friends visited Liberty Tap Room in Mount Pleasant. Josh's Beer Sampler:I had emailed the restaurant requesting they add some vegetarian options to their menu and the Manager told me the Chef would be happy to prepare anything I wanted!! Both the Manager and Chef were incredible and my dinner was out of this world (the pictures don’t even do it justice). First, the Chef made me a “tour of world,” which included a Southern Slaw with Pimento Cheese, an Italian cheese and tomato stack, a Seaweed salad (never had this=so so good), and a South of the Border spicy tomato salad.

He also made me an incredible plate of roasted root vegetables.

Best dinner!

After, we headed to our friends house for a movie.

On Saturday, I taught Body Step and we launched the new Body Pump. The class was PACKED and we even had to turn some folks away. Here are some pictures (all of the instructors minus one):

The new Body Pump release is awesome!

The rest of the day was spent on my to dos (food shopping, Frank bath, cleaned the house, did laundry/ironing, worked on more choreography):

Today, I plan to relaxxxxxxx and do some more choreography work. What are you up to??
