Weekend cooking

I don't know about you but I LOVE the weekends..... particularly Saturday because its leg day and when I usually have my cheat meal :) I have 1 cheat MEAL per week, it keeps me sane and gives me something to look forward to all week! I believe cheat meals are so important, not just because they confuse your metabolism but because you should never give up the things you love. This week was pizza :D

MMMMMM so good :D I got sun dried tomatoes with artichokes 

& garlic tomato pesto on a honey wheat crust

And this amazing salad! I took all the croutons off. It had feta cheese, sun dried tomatoes, pine nuts and a balsamic dressing. It was so good!!!!

You know no cheat meal is complete without a good dessert to finish it off! I decided to make a CLEAN dessert though :)

I topped mine with Arctic Zero Maple Vanilla Ice Cream ;)

I also happen to love Sundays. I get to do yoga, grocery shop, meal prep and not put on make up all day :D Ohhhhhhh and I get to have PANCAKES! Pancake Sunday is my favorite. I'm not saying I don't love my oats and egg whites, but I definitely look forward to pancakes every week. They are always clean pancakes but taste so decadent!

I topped mine with microwaved banana, almond butter and WF syrup
