I'll Run for Food

I went for a great run last night with my sister!

As I've stated in previous posts, I am no cardio buff!  I love strength training but I'm trying to find a love for running! I had a great 5km run with my sister last night in preparation for our first 5k race!  We're doing the | Running Room | resolution run on January 1st, gulp!

It was pouring rain and we finished our run off at the coffee shop! Nothing like warming up after a good run.

Needless to say, I came home on a high and wanted to cook a really tasty dinner of new clean-eating recipes, so I went searching ... and our dinner last night was so good!

Cinnamon Sweet Potato Chickpea Salad | Oh She Glows |

What you will need:

1 large sweet potato, peeled & chopped into 1/2 inch pieces

1 1/2 C cooked chickpeas

1 small onion, peeled & chopped

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp sea salt

1 T coconut oil, divided

In a large bowl, mix all ingredients and 1/2 T of the coconut oil together.

Mix until well combined. Place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 425 for 35 minutes. Remove from oven and mix in 1/2 T of the coconut oil until well combined.

Serves 2 ... so yummy!

I also served up | Tone It Up | Grinch's Green Beans ...

I was hoping to link to the one on their website but they must have recently taken it down. Fantastic recipe, we added some pomegranate seeds for extra crunch!

I also served the | Tone It Up | Garlicky Kale Salad which is too die for! Even if you don't like kale I'm sure you could give this a try.

If you want these recipes join the | Tone It Up | team!

Such a great dinner! I made sure to load my plate with green beans and kale so my dinner wasn't too high in starches from the potatoes & chickpeas. It hit the spot.

Guess what I'll be having for lunch today? I'll run for food like this anytime!
