Yes, I just had to make that an alliteration.
So yesterday marked day four of Molly-sitting! We started off the day with a nice walk around the park. She was adorable, and of course made several friends. I try and take her on one of these longer walks once in the morning and once in the evening.
I love the park because it barely feels like you are in the city. Haha until you hear the bus behind you “151 Michigan to Belmont”…
My brother had mentioned he tried to get Molly to jump over this small yellow fence but she wouldn’t. I decided to attempt it to… no luck. She was not having it. She’ll leap over furniture but this fence was just too scary!
Yesterday I also got a chance to go home, trade out clothes, get some school work done and go to the gym. I hadn’t been home since Saturday morning so it was nice to re-collect myself.
For meals during the week I made Elise’s Crockpot Lentils. I only had 2 cups of lentils instead of 3 so I only used 1 cup of water and 1 cup of soup. but mine still turned out pretty soupy. Delicious, haha, but soupy. I’m leaving it in the pot overnight hoping it will thicken up a little bit.
For lunch I made the most simple yet AMAZING meal. I made a sweet potato in the microwave (stab it a few times with a knife, wrap in saran wrap, and microwave for 4:30) and then I had some cooked chicken that I poured 1/2 T of coconut oil on and reheated in the microwave, topped it with some avocado, shredded cheese and salsa.
The coconut oil really made this amazing! I know everyone always says that coconut oil really makes a difference, but I’m finally a believer! So good.
And yes, it looks like a mess in the photo. But so good.
I also remember reading on Ashley’s post a while back that you can use coconut oil for so many things, including using it as conditioner in your hair! I’ve been meaning to try that, I need to! Haha although I might smell like coconut oil all day!
What have you used coconut oil for?
What’s your favorite crockpot recipe? I need ideas!
