Today for lunch, Tommy and I went to Magnolia Pancake Haus..My absolute FAVORITE restaurant in San Antonio..yum yum yum:) He got some sort of sandwich and I got the Strawberry Chicken Salad and it was d'lish! It came with canteloupe, two slices of banana bread, strawberries, roasted chicken breast, crutons, and a hard boiled egg. The dressing was a raspberry vinaigrette but I'm pretty sure it had a little bit of dairy in it even though the waitress said it didn't so I tried to steer clear of it. I have a really good banana bread recipe that I got off of runnersworld.com that I have posted below.
This banana bread would also make a really good breakfast or a good addition to your breakfast.
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar, plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup applesauce
3 1/2 bananas, very ripe, mashed
2 tablespoons low-fat sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
2/3 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped (I've tried it with chopped almonds before and that worked as well, or you can use pecans)
Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift together first four ingredients. Beat sugar and eggs with a whisk until light and fluffy. Drizzle in oil. Add bananas, sour cream, and vanilla. Fold in flour mixture and nuts. Pour batter into a buttered 9" x 4" loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Makes 12 servings.

Even though the banana bread calls for sour cream, you can still eat it if you are lactose intolerant/have other issues like me (just as long as it isn't an allergy to dairy). In case you weren't aware, you can have things that are cultured as in sour cream, and yogurt.
After lunch, I went on a 2 mile run to the gym, did my weights and finished with a 2 mile run back to the house. I wanted to run longer, and would have preferred to have not split it up to build endurance, but with my plantar fasciitis acting up lately I've been babying it so it doesn't come back full swing putting me back off of running for who knows how long. Since then, I've just been snacking on fruit and trail mix (it was my make shift dinner) and enjoying hanging out with my Momma:) Have a good night!!
