Crepes: Beat all crepe ingredients together with a wire whisk until they are smooth. To prepare crepes, lightly butter a skillet and heat. Cook until light brown, turn and cook the other side. Set aside until ready to use and make sure to cover them with a towel so they do not dry out.

Crepas: Combine todos los ingredientes con un batidor manual hasta que la mezcla este suave. Para cocinar las crepas, engrase una sartén y permita que la mantequilla este caliente. Cocine las crepas hasta que estén doradas y voltéelas para que se cocinen por el otro lado. Póngalas a un lado hasta que esté listo para usarlas, y recuerde cubrirlas con una toalla para que no se resequen.

Color me Rad, a 5k with a color twist

2/14/2013

8 Comments

So, 2013 is the year for me to become healthier. I am doing things that I had never though about before.

So, I am not only losing weight, but I am changing the way I do things. I am exercising, I am eating healthier and I am involving my family on the changes.

I am challenging myself to try new things and do more fun things. So when I heard about the color me rad 5k, I was very interested.

Not only this is going to be my first official 5k, but also it is going to be a really fun one.

In this race, you start the day with a white t-shirt and end up all full of color. It is for all ages, so I am motivating my son to race with me. It is a very fun way to get active

I will be doing the one in Los Angeles on 05/15/13, but you can check the website to see if there are races near your hometown.

Not only the races are fun but they sponsor a local non-profit organization as well. In California this year they are donating to the Special Olympics of Southern California.

Disclosure: i was provided with a free ticket for the race, but all opinions are my own.

Pasta con vegetales (sin carne, pero sabrosa)

Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday and I have to think what to prepare for lunch for everyone here. Something my son can take to school, I can take to work and hubby can have while working on his shop. Something without meat, but not only with great taste but nutritive.

Mañana es miércoles de ceniza y he estado pensando que preparar para el almuerzo de todos acá en la casa. Debe ser algo que mi hijo pueda llevar como almuerzo a la escuela, yo pueda llevar al trabajo y mi esposo pueda comer en su taller. Debe ser algo delicioso, pero también nutritivo.
