Today is another beautiful sun shiney day, with temps reaching close to 80 degrees! This is well above normal temps for March so I’m enjoying it while I can with my boys. I woke up and ran 4.5 miles in 45 minutes and followed it up with some abs before work this morning.
Since the weather is warm, I like to eat light. I roasted peppers for dinner last night, with the extra’s I decided to add it to my hummus to make a roasted red pepper hummus. I added some fresh herbs, such as basil and parsley to get some greens in there. I’m linking this recipe over at Peas and Crayons for What I ate Wednesday (WIAW).
