Friday Finisher 4/24/15

Published: Apr 24, 2015 · Modified: Jan 3, 2020 by Rebecca Pytell · This post may contain affiliate links.

Well, I have to start this post out by wishing my big brother an early HUGE happy birthday for tomorrow! He is turning the big 21! I wish I could give him a big hug, but that will have to wait 2 more weeks until we are both done with school! (I did however give him some awesome chocolate bars the night I left back for DC when Spring Break ended, haha!) But, I am so lucky to have him as my brother. He means so much to me, treats me so well, and is such a strong individual. He amazes me with his resilience, calmness, composure, and his capable and bright mind. He is so loyal and has such unbreakable love for his family. He makes me proud <3

With that said, the real countdown is one! Just 2 weeks left! And boy are they moving slow. It's so weird thinking back to that first night I slept in my dorm. It feels like years ago, but also just yesterday. I just have so many feelings about this year, hopefully once I have some time and more time to reflect and gather these thoughts, I'll be able to right a post about my experience sometime this summer. Until that, just go ahead and find some links to click and food to pin! Happy Weekend! XOXO

    As always great finisher Rebecca! I'm actually the oldest of three siblings! Happy 21st to your brother! That's the game changing age (me next year yikes!). I really loved the article from Abbey's Kitchen. I admit that I struggle with "god" and "bad" food syndrome and a bit of food anxiety so it's hard for me to let go of the prconceived notion that a candy bar will start the proces of obesity for me (which I realize I'm far from at a size 0-2 in women's). Our society/ social media has brainwashed a large portion of the fitness and health concious faction that the best way to eat is "clean" and if not then you better be "fitting your macros". When in reality we should stop viewing food as the enemy and more for what it is: fuel and something to enjoy and nourish our bodies with. (With the occassional treat). Great articles!

    P.s Totally agree with the Slow Death of Gyms

      Yea, we all just need to eat and exercise for us and stop following and comparing to other people. It's so simple, it's annoying. Frustrating and will never change. It won't, which is just the sad fact of human nature :/

This recipe was the LAST one I made back in NJ last summer! It is one of the best pasta salads to ever appear on Strength and sunshine! Using @eatbanza Cavatappi, crisp romaine, grape tomatoes, my homemade coconut bacon, homemade aquafaba mayo, seasoned with a pinch of salt and pepper! It's SO easy and quick! You are going to fall in love! Ditch the gluten, meat, and eggs in this BLT salad and still get all the delicious flavors and heartiness you love! 🤤🙌✌️

What's your favorite sandwich? BLTs are the best savory sandwiches, PBJs are the best sweet! 😆✌️

The opposite of tostones with your unripe green plantains; Once your @chiquitabanana plantains turn perfectly yellow and ripe, slice them up, and lightly pan-fry them in your @lodgecastiron for a quick, semi-sweet, creamy, custardy side dish everyone will love! Toss them with some cinnamon, salt, and enjoy them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! 🍌✌️👌

Perfect tostones require the unripe green plantains (got mine from @theboysfarmersmarket), they're super cheap (like 20-30¢), peel, slice, soak them in some water, lime juice, and salt, use your @gowiseusa air fryer to give them the first "fry", then get out your frustrations by smashing them into flat discs with a tostonera or a heavy mug, toss them back in the air fryer to finish getting golden and crispy! Serve with an extra pinch of flaky salt and salsa dips of choice! 👌
