Wahooo!! Spring has officially sprung! Happy spring to you all today! ![]()
Last Night’s Dinner
On my way home from work last night, I got a call from the hubster asking how much longer it was going to be until I got back. This is rare for him to ask, so I told him about ten minutes and then asked why. His response?
“Because dinner is ready and waiting in the oven!” My response?
“I’ll be there in five!”
Don’t worry I didn’t speed too much.
For those whole five minutes, I assumed that I’d be coming home to a plate full of pierogies, since that’s what we had talked about earlier, so imagine my surprise when I walked in to THIS beauty…
Homemade pizza with grilled chicken, peppers, and onions. Gimme, gimme, gimme!
I loved not only how big and fluffy this batch of crust was, but how nice and garlicky it was, too. We do love us some garlic…it’s a good thing it’s mutual.
I enjoyed two slices of pizza immediately after changing into my cozies, plopping on the couch, and watching some How I Met Your Mother.
The show was good…the pizza was great.

Breakfast
I was really having a bit of a predicament this morning. We have a lot of veggies right now, some even chopped up, so I was feeling compelled to make an omelet. But in the end, memories of yesterday’s oats won the victory.
Today’s batch was super similar to yesterday, with the only swap being 1/4 cup egg whites for the mashed banana. It made it slightly less sweet but gave it more of that French toast flavor that I love.
Toppings for today included half of a chopped apple, Love Grown Foods granola, and a batch honey cinnamon peanut butter made with my PB2.
*FYI: I got another heads up from iHerb.com (<—affiliate link) with an even BETTER offer for first time customers…effective today, my coupon code SAZ564 will have the following value, based on your order amount:
- $10.00 off for any order of $40.00 or more
- 5.00 off for any order less than $40.00 — no minimum!
That’s definitely the best offer I’ve seen so far!
Oh, and just in case you didn’t believe me, there were some oats underneath all those toppings. ![]()
And finally, before heading out for this morning, it’s time to announce the winner of the Technogel Pillow Giveaway. Thank you so much to everyone who entered!
Technogel Pillow Giveaway Winner – #110 (never came forward) #390
Congratulations, Carrie! Please email me at sweettoothcourtney[@]gmail[.]com so we can get you set up with your brand new Technogel pillow!

Now, it’s about time for me to tackle today’s workout, which I’m sure would be a whole heck of a lot easier if my legs weren’t feeling like the lead rods that they are right now. Oh boy!
Question for the Morning:
What are some of your favorite things about spring?
I love the warmer weather (obviously), pretty flowers, the Farmer’s Market going back outdoors, the birds chirping in the morning, Tulip Fest, the start of softball season, and all of my favorite soft serve ice cream places re-opening. ![]()

Ooooo, good call on the iced coffee!
I’d do the same thing with the roof of my car…if I could
The bright nights definitely! The clocks don’t change until this weekend coming over here but we’re already getting a stretch (in Ireland!
)
That pizza looks so good, I don’t think I could have stopped at two slices though! Garlic all the way!

I appreciate spring so much more now that I live in NH! I also go to this coastal town in Maine a lot and in the spring it basically reopens – I love it!

Yum, homemade pizza is the best!! I’m so excited spring is here (although the winter wasn’t bad at all). I’m looking forward to the spring-like weather that isn’t too hot, fresh cut flowers, and baseball season!
Definitely my favorite thing about Spring is Spring Dresses!
Steph @ StephSnacks recently posted..Why I Love My Hair

I LOVE SPRING! I love the smell in the air. It just smells fresh and happy… sounds odd, but I have been in such a good mood since the weather has gotten sunny. My flowers are coming up and I cannot wait to plant more!

Jana @ Newly Wife Healthy Life recently posted..Spring Showers
Hi Courtney.. that pizza looks amazing! What did you use to make the crust? Did you make it yourself? I would LOVE the recipe!
Some of my favorite things for spring are going to the beach, walks outside, Sunday brunch outside and fro-yo… although that’s really an all year thing.

It was actually a store-bought pizza dough that we had on hand

Andrea @ Andrea Out Loud! recently posted..Hey, It’s Spring & Go Eat A Tomato!
Aww what a lucky lady! That pizza looks like something worth speeding home for
In Florida, spring weather is pretty much like every season’s weather, so no fun seasonal changes for me, but I do love the later/lighter nights of daylight savings time!
I love all the spring-type food!! fresh and delicious!

The pizza looks yummy! Peppers and onions are my favorite kind of pizza, throw on some crushed pepers flakes and I am in heaven!!! I love How I Met Your Mother, but I really love Two Broke Girls. Last night was hilarious! I love the lady from Poland, I can’t rememebr her name cracks me up!!!

YES! Stifler’s mom lol! The cook cracks us right up too.
We weren’t sure of the show at first, but it has definitely grown on us.
My favorite thing about spring is definitely the gorgeous blooms popping up all over. And the weather…warm, sunny, breezy. I even love the spring rain and thunderstorms.

Awwww that’s so sweet of your husband, and he did A PERFECT JOB WITH THAT PIZZA! I’m impressed.
I’m glad too that my fiance and I share a love for garlic. Oh! have you tried the Greek spread/dip called melitzanosalata? IT’s an eggplant/garlic spread and prob. the strongest one you’ll ever try.
Ellie@Fit for the Soul recently posted..Amping Up Protein and DIY Wedding Decor
I’ve never tried/heard of that, but it sounds AWESOME!
The boost in my mood is my favorite thing! I definitely get a little seasonal depression during the cold, grey winter, but spring INSTANTLY makes me feel lighter and brighter. It’s kind of amazing, actually!
Melissa recently posted..I’ve Got a Golden Tiiiiiicketttt!!!
You are one lucky girl to be getting a yummy pizza like that for dinner!
I am super excited for Spring to start. I can’t wait for the ice cream trucks to show up. I love me some Mr. Softie!

I love spring! It’s not overly hot and not cold, it’s the perfect temperature to be enjoying the outdoors. I love being able to eat outside on a restaurant patio with friends, drinking my morning coffee on the deck, farmers markets, and gym classes held outside. I could just go on and on about how much I love spring.
How I Met Your Mother is my favorite show ever!!! So awesome. That pizza looks delicious! & Thank you for sharing that coupon code.
Carol @ Lucky Zucca recently posted..Home Grown
I love that everything is blooming and the perfect temperature! We got a lot of rain last night and you wouldn’t believe that difference that one rainfall did to the color of our lawn — it’s beautiful!!
Yum on that pizza, lookin’ good. Oh gosh, so much about spring I love. Warmer weather, grilling!!, cuter shoes, and dresses, outdoor bbq’s, you get the idea

I checked out those pierogies, they look yummy! I lived in Poland last year and I have been trying to recreate them but alas, to no avail! Do you know what sort of a recipe Jay uses? Or is it a well kept secret?
x
I don’t think he really uses a recipe – we usually just saute them up a bit and add whatever we have on hand…veggies, chicken, etc. They’re super easy and great when you’re pressed for time!
Delicious-looking pizza and breakfast!
My favorite thing about spring is bittersweet… I love all the blooming flowers and trees blossoming… but they give me some wicked allergies!
I also love going to the park and seeing the super cute ducklings and goslings!
michelle kim recently posted..Stress-Eating, and My #1 Happy Activity
I hear ya with the allergies…thank goodness for allergy meds, haha!
What a nice husband, that pizza looks so good. And sounds delicious with the garlic crust!
My favorite thing about spring is finally being able to go outside and not worry about bringing a coat along!

Favorite things about spring: warm weather, flowers blooming, ice cream stands opening, and an excuse to do work outside.

Pierogies are delicious! I would LOVE to come home to those sometime. That pizza looked pretty amazing though. Either would be nice
My roommate can not sleep and would love a different pillow to try out!! figured I would try to get her one before she invested in another high-tech one!!
I could kick myself – it was near the end of the cut off of the give away and I didn’t get back to it on time! GAH!
