Hi all! I can’t believe it is Friday again. I swear these weeks just fly by! The little man is like a black hole with time.
Welcome to this week’s Friday’s Food & Fitness! It is an epic one for sure!
I think I made the best chicken tikka masala ever. It was better than my favorite Indian takeout. While I can’t say it was the healthiest, it was delicious and so worth it!
I did, however, make an extremely healthy lunch this week with a batch of homemade roasted red pepper hummus. I couldn’t find any canned chickpeas so I had to cook the beans from scratch in my slow cooker. I think I could have cooked them a bit longer or used more water or something because the hummus had a much thicker texture than normal. It was still delish though!
And I’ve been rockin the overnight oats for breakky. In case you missed it, here are Overnight Oats Four Ways!
Pilates! I got my Spencer Mat certificate this week and I was all about Pilates on the ball!
I also headed to my weekly Pilates apparatus class. They put all the gringoes together in one room.
I’ve also been loving the Beachbody On Demand classes. I’m taking full advantage of my free trial! 
My little helper likes to workout with me. I was doing this prone stretch and he started doing it at the same time as me! How funny is that?
And the MOST exciting workout this week? I taught my first Babies at the Barre™: Stroller Barre class! Woo hoo! My legs are still sore.
Readers, have you ever made beans from scratch? Are you a fan of Indian food? What was your MOST exciting workout of the week?

Most exciting workout – getting from Philly to Seattle solo with my 6 month old girl, wearing her through the airport, carrying my bag, and hauling around a diaper bag. That counts, right?

May 8, 2015Um yes that totally counts!

May 8, 2015Oh my goodness, stroller barre!! So cool, would love to try that! Do you know if there is a routine printout that one could do on their own?

May 9, 2015Your little helper deserves a big kiss! I bet he was great in stroller Barre, too.
My most “exciting” workout this week 1.25 hours of yoga followed by 1 hour of a Zumba Latin party! Yep, I am sore.
I’ve cooked beans from scratch and it can be tricky. I so want that chicken tikka masala!
FitBritt
May 11, 2015Oooo tell me more about the Zumba latin party!

May 10, 2015You always come up with the best recipes ! I would love that hummus and tikka masala. I love anything spicy. Hope you had a great weekend.
FitBritt
May 11, 2015I love spicy food too! I chopped up some hot thai chili and added it to the tikka masala to make it a bit spicer and it was so good!
Nellie @ Brooklyn Active Mama
May 10, 2015oh my gosh look at you and Coop! He is growing SOO fast!! I can’t believe it!! You were rocking your healthy eating this week missy, I think I need to try hummus from scratch pretty soon!
FitBritt
May 11, 2015I Love hummus from scratch! It tastes so much better in my opinion. The key is to have good beans though. Mine were a bit tough to start because they needed to be cooked a bit longer!

May 27, 2015There is definitely no excuse at all not to exercise! I like to do lunges, squats and calve raises holding on of the babies or if I’m not holding one of them, I’ll put them in their chairs and through in one of my DVDs and workout in front of them. They love to watch the movement and of course, I’ll also act like a goof ball to keep them entertained.
