Look what came in the mail this afternoon: our new personalized Christmas stockings! Hooray! How adorable are these?!?

On Cyber Monday, these Christmas stockings were on sale at Pottery Barn with free shipping, so I bit the bullet and purchased them. (FYI: I just checked and they’re still on sale!)

Mal and Murphy have matching stockings since they’re both boys and love the color green, but Murphy’s is pug-size. How cute is that?

What’s your Christmas stocking look like?

My childhood Christmas stocking is green with a cat on it and Mal’s is an electrical tape masterpiece

Lunch

Today’s lunch was a mix of goodies: a grilled Vegetable Masala Burger with BBQ sauce, some kale chips.

And Garlic Gold-roasted chickpeas.

To make the chickpeas: toss chickpeas with olive oil, sprinkle with Garlic Gold (or garlic powder), and bake in oven for 15-20 minutes on 425*F, mixing occasionally.

Snack

My afternoon snack was really something SPECIAL today!

Remember when I was losing my hair like crazy because of an iron deficiency? Well, I’m better now, but I bought some frozen mango chunks awhile back since mango has both iron and vitamin C and these two nutrients work together for better iron absorption. Long story short, I’ve been looking for new ways (besides smoothies) to incorporate mango into my diet””and I came up with a delicious, protein-packed Mango Pudding today. Check it out!

Protein-Packed Mango Pudding

Ingredients:

Directions: Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth or slightly smooth. (I liked the tiny chunks of mango in mine!)

Makes 2 servings

Holy yum. This stuff is thick and creamy with a slightly sweet mango-vanilla flavor. It’s delicious, nutritious, and so satisfying. Try this one! Trust me, you’ll love it!

Workout

I split my workout into two parts today: Murphy and I went for a 2-mile walk this afternoon, and then Mal and I are going to CrossFit tonight. I think we’re going to sign up! Woohoo!

Snack

My second snack of the day was a banana spread with peanut butter. I sliced it up and ate it with a fork. Much less messy.

P.S. Have you guys seen this dog video yet? A Twitter friend showed it to me, and I’ve watched it at least a dozen times since. It’s hilarious!!!
