WIAW – New Year’s Style

2014 New Year's Resolutions
2013 Recap

Happy New Year! 

How perfect that the new year starts on Wednesday, aka WIAW! Here are my eats from yesterday, New Year’s Eve!

Breakfast

pumpkin oatmeal3

A nice bowl of pumpkin oatmeal started my day. Then I headed out for a run – not a good idea! It was -5 degrees out. I was so cold! Somehow I managed about 3.5 miles.

Lunch

mac&cheese2

I ate a quick lunch before heading to town to shop with my mom. Leftover mac & cheese and some carrots and hummus. Quite an orange lunch!

scone and tea

We stopped at Stone’s because I can never resist going there when we’re in town. I got a pecan cinnamon roll scone (yes, it was as good as it sounds) and a cup of tea! This is the first time I’ve found a tea that I liked! It had cinnamon, almond, apple, and beetroot.

Dinner

We went over to my aunt’s house for a steak dinner. I don’t like steak so I brought some more mac & cheese! Also had green beans and caesar salad.

Dessert

My mom’s secret recipe. Seriously. She said I can’t share it. I will say that it had pretzels, raspberries, cream cheese, and looots of sugar! 

Party time!

I went to a New Year’s party at my friend’s house!

THIS POPCORN. It had melted rolo’s. Yes please!

I got to bed at about 1 and I was beat! Now I’m just going to enjoy the last few days of break. One of my resolutions this year is to not worry too much about food, and I think I did a pretty good job of that last night! I also didn’t restrict my food at all during  the day, which is something I tend to do when I’m going to a party. Not anymore!

Once again, Happy New Year everyone! πŸ™‚

What are your resolutions this year?

    That popcorn looks amazing! Melted chocolate makes everything delicious though πŸ™‚

    So pumpkin is still “in” then? I’ve been meaning to make some more pumpkin recipes, but I just figured everyone would be pumpkin-ed out. lol.

    Glad to hear your New Years party was fun! Happy 2014.

    It looks like you had a fun NYE! I bet that popcorn was soo good! My fiance’s favorite candy is Rolos, so one time I bought a ton and put them in the glove box of my truck, and when he was in the passenger seat later that day, I asked him to get something out of the glove box and he was so surprised haha!! Sorry for the random story πŸ™‚

    wow that popcorn looks incredible! love your blog! I’m actually on a quest to “healthify” a caramel corn recipe because I totally love how popcorn like that tastes! My new years resolution is to keep a stable sleep schedule:)
