Today I slept in a bit longer than I would have liked.
Having awakened at a strange time, I ended up eating a variety of things to satisfy all of my cravings and necessities for my first meal of the day:
-mixed berry yogurt (dairy)
-1/2 apple turnover (carbs)
-couple handfuls of baked ruffles with french onion dip (?!carbs?!)
-a large peach (fruit and fiber)
-a johnsonville brat (protien)
Yes...that doesn't really sound all that appetizing, especially all together...but I definitely wasn't left craving anything after that meal. A quick dinner of spaghetti before a killer workout...then on for the REAL meal-
I wanted something filling and satisfyingly bad after a hard workout, but not so bad as to undo the previous 3 hours. On to our after-gym standby, HEIDI'S PIES! I had a cup of chili with chips. Protein, fiber, carbs, all in one cup. But the real star of the meal? The recommendation from one of our waitresses...
her: "a piece of pie and ice cream? the peach pie is really good!"
me: "uuuhhh....nnnn-- oh, oookay"
duh...c'mon now! you CAN'T pass up a piece of pie at heidi's PIES. and if they say it's really good?? Now, I don't usually order peach pie. There's too much chance it will be mushy- peaches overcooked- or way too sweet...too many chances to fail.
But I was wrong, and am proud to admit it. This was a great piece of pie. It always pays to listen when someone tells you it's good. Especially if that someone works there.
The peaches were perfect- cooked just a bit, but still had some bite. The saucy part of the filling was not too sweet, but just right with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Really hit the spot and fulfilled (possibly created) a craving I didn't even know I had.
Tell her the late night workout girl sent ya...and get the peach pie!
(*edit- i just realized that the fresh peach pie is unbaked...much like a fresh strawberry pie...poured into a baked shell...oops...but still....very good!)
