1. I am so excited for this weekend’s camping trip! After a raiding my parent’s house and a trip to Costco, I needed help unloading my car with all of our supplies.
2. My new summer schedule officially begins on Monday. This week was a busy but easy transition. One day I even got to eat my lunch outside at Starbucks, which was such a huge treat for the girl who never gets to leave the office during the day!
3. I have been having a tough time sleeping this week. This seems to happen around life changes (ie when I was moving back from Memphis). However, last night I think I fell asleep before my head hit the pillow and although up earlier than I would have liked this morning, I finally felt well rested.
4. I am in charge of breakfast for the camping trip. I am bringing eggs and spinach and made Paleo Banana-Walnut Bread that I can’t wait to dig into and Date Bars.
5. After two trials last weekend, I created an awesome Nutella Puppy Chow. It’s doesn’t have the strongest Nutella flavor, but the combo of peanut butter and Nutella is addicting. However, I need to go finish packing, so the recipe will just have to wait!
Hope you have a great weekend! I will be enjoying my first
Friday off camping in Wisconsin with these girls!
Luv What You Do 
Have a great time on your camping trip! Camping is always so much fun, especially with fun people. It’s nice that you were able to get a little extra time for yourself this week and enjoy your lunch. Relaxed lunches always make me feel refreshed and ready to get back to work. 🙂
So true! I have some fun camping friends and we had a nice weekend with the right amount of hiking and relaxation. It was the perfect weekend!
WHOOHOO for camping!! I have had a tough time falling asleep too, but because it’s been SO warm at night!! I need it to be COLD at night.
I need cold also. It was amazing how easily I slept in the tent. Loved it!
You left us on a cliffhanger with the puppy chow! I’m glad this week wasn’t too hard. It’s SO nice to get outside at lunch.
Enjoy your camping weekend; I’m sure you will!
We did! I don’t have as many opportunities to get away for a weekend of camping as I used to, so it was great! We did some hiking and reading, cooking and resting. Ahh…can’t wait for our next get away!
I LOVE camping! Have a blast!
Thanks! It’s always so nice to get out of the city!
Camping is so much fun! Hope you have a great time 🙂
Thanks Carli!
We loved it. Cant wait to share some of the photos!
Yay I’m glad you made my bread! 🙂
Made it, ate it, loved it!
Sharing the recipe with one of my friends now!
Nutella puppy chow?!? Sounds positively dangerous! Have a great weekend camping!
It is! Hoping to get that recipe out tonight but have to do some laundry first. It’s amazing how EVERYTHING ends up smelling like camp fire : )
Have a fun weekend!!
I was just trying to find a recipe for date cookies or bars! I think I will try those!!
I love puppy chow…but with Nutella….can’t wait for the recipe!
These are the best and you can play with the recipe to make your own variation. I add coconut, cacoa, and other dried fruit. Enjoy!
I would definitely be more of a camper if the snacks were as good as yours! Hope you girls have fun!
ha ha! Yup we ate REAL well this weekend : )

Thanks Meredith! We definitely had a blast in the woods this weekend!
I keep seeing puppy chow and have never made it before. Looks right up my alley!!
Megan…you must change that soon! We made it all the time in grad school and it’s a great ‘bring to work/clinical’ snack! Hope you enjoy!

So jealous of your camping trip! Hope you had a great time! Your breakfasts sounds delicious!
Everything turned out perfect and it was great to get away. I’m pushing for our next camping trip to be in MN since I’ve never been and there are so many places to go!
Let me know if you head this way… I can give you some good recommendations!
I will!!!!
