Recipe for an Awesome Day

1 part early morning longer-than-usual dog walk

1 part unexpected after-work rainy, Garmin-less run

1 part whole wheat pasta with TJ’s meatballs, grape tomatoes and pesto

1 part solo Katy Perry kitchen dance party

and 1 part cookie-baking. I’ve had these cookies on my mind since Reach the Beach, and I finally made them tonight. And will devour them tomorrow.

What’s your recipe for a good day? And turning around what might have been a less-than-good day?

  • I have been meaning to make those cookies and post the recipe! Yum. The pasta looks great too.

  • Those all sound like ingredients for a perfect day for me as well. I especially love the Garmin-less run. Sometimes it's nice to just enjoy exercise and not know how fast/far we have gone. Its very liberating!

  • Yeah your day sounds pretty awesome.
    My recipe for an awesome day always includes sweat, puppies and sleep. :)

  • My good day would include a run, a nap, time with my boys and a glass of red wine.

    DO like that blue top!

  • I think a video of that Katy Perry dance party would have been appropriate!

  • My day was almost identical to yours! Ok not really. My awesomeness came by way of an amazing run! It changed the whole day for me, love when that happens. And if you feel like sharing cookies I'll bring the wine hahaha

  • A great run and cookies? The makings of a perfect day in my book! Love the blue tank! Where did you get it?
