Italian Baked Acorn Squash, Buffalo Sloppy Joes, Multi Seed Bread & Chocolate Cupcakes Filed under ( Bread, Breakfast, Dessert, Turkey, Vegetables )

So glad that this is a short week- how about you? I don't think I could do a full one after all the Christmas fun. I figured I would do a mish mash post, showing you a little bit of what's been cooking and baking in my kitchen.

First up, I made a batch of Italian Baked Acorn Squash. I made Josh a turkey version and myself a pink bean version. I forgot how incredibly delicious this combination is:

I also made up some Buffalo Sloppy Joes for Josh a la Rachael Ray (while I went for a second round of Italian Baked Acorn Squash):

We're going to be spending a few days with Josh's family to ring in the new year, so I also baked up some treats to share with them. First off, Cinnamon Sweet Bread:

I also made up this delicious seeded bread (using sunflower seeds instead of flax):

Later tonight, Josh and I are going to bake up some mini chocolate cupcakes using Martha Stewart's One Bowl recipe. We plan to do half with chocolate chips, half with dark & mint chocolate chips (pictures to come later!!).

I adjusted my workout schedule so that I could fit in all the fun with Josh's family. My week of workouts will look something like this:

• Monday: Taught Body Pump and Body Step
• Tuesday: Taught Body Attack
• Wednesday: 45 minute spin and two mile run
• Thursday: Off
• Friday: Off or 6 ish mile run
• Saturday: Teach Body Step
• Sunday: 6ish mile run or off (depends on Friday)

If I don't "talk" to you again beforehand, Happy New Year!!!
