Korean Beef Lettuce Wraps and Molten Lava Cupcake

Good Thursday morning! How's your week going so far? Mine has been spent adjusting to my first week being a retiree. I've been able to sleep in until 7 am every morning and I think I've found a good routine so far. As soon as I get up, I make my light soy latte and the  hubby, his vanilla soy latte "to go". I watch the local news, a little of the Today show and then make breakfast.

Sample mix:

• oats
• pumpkin puree
• cinnamon
• agave nectar

...I do a bit of blogging, then about 20-30 minute of yoga before DD gets up. I then start on my chores for the day or head to the gym if I need to.

Yesterday was spent cleaning the entire house for company this weekend. 

                              

                                    

I went through all my "stuff" from work and got rid of a lot of paper files that I've been holding on to for years. Yikes! I didn't realize how much *crap* I've accumulated...

I started on dinner which was Korean Beef Lettuce Wraps (adapted from The Flat Belly Diet Cookbook).

....and for dessert, I found a version of the Molten Lava cake (hubby's favorite) BUT without the "calories".

 

The recipe called for 20 minutes in the oven, Next time, I would take them out a little sooner though. Hubby topped it with vanilla ice cream or you can dust it with powdered sugar.

Today's plans include going for a run (indoors on "tread-y")... a little Christmas shopping and then dinner with some girlfriends tonight. I'm excited....we're going to check out an Ethiopian restaurant in town. I have high hopes for it and it will be a new adventure!

Have a great *hump* day!
