#RogersGetaway Weekend: Part 2

The amazing people with the Rogers, AR CVB paid for my entire trip; however, all opinions and recommendations are my own!

#RogersGetaway Weekend: Part 2 || HeathersDish.comSo here we are, finally getting around to Day 2 of my amazing weekend in Rogers, Arkansas!  If you missed the first post, be sure to check it out here.  Y’all, I really cannot tell you how much I loved this little town.  Northwest Arkansas is gorgeous and fun in and of itself, but Rogers is such a great little treasure in the middle of it all!

 

The morning of the second day was rainy, so we went shopping at Pinnacle Hills Promenade for a little bit while the rain died down.  This is such a great place, and sadly Little Rock really has nothing like it.  There’s just so much all in the same place; Little Rock has a version of the Promenade, but it’s nothing like the one in Rogers.  I could have spent all day there!

 

After our little shopping excursion we headed off to downtown Rogers to visit the Daisy Air Gun Museum.

To be totally honest I wasn’t sure how I would feel about this part of the weekend.  Not that I have anything against BB guns, I just didn’t know what to expect since I don’t have a lot of experience in the gun world.

 

You guys.  This museum is FANTASTIC, and Daisy has such a cool history.  I think the thing that really got me was the level of the stories being told.  It wasn’t just facts and figures and such, but really deeply personal stories from people all over the world.  I left the museum feeling really and truly connected to the company, even though I think I have shot a BB gun twice in my life.

 

AND…I was the first person visiting the museum from my hometown!  YAY LUBBOCK! 🙂

After the Daisy museum we walked across the street to Heirloom Food + Gifts for a fantastic lunch.  We had a bunch of homemade spreads, cheeses, a cucumber salad that I fell totally in love with, lavender-vanilla bean cream soda (YES), and lemon curd that almost brought myself and Kyran to tears.

 

The food was just SO good you guys, and I was so impressed with the passion behind it all.  Just listening to the food descriptions and inspiration made me really excited to create my own versions of the food we had!

The next stop was War Eagle Mill, which was really fun for me as well.  I love being in places where really unique food is made; especially when it’s rich in history.  All of their products are stone-ground using the power of the War Eagle River, and they’re all organic, natural and non-GMO as well.

We got to tour the mill and see how it all works, then were treated to pecan pie cobbler and ice cream upstairs.  Y’all.  I cannot tell you how incredible that cobbler was – I am STILL dreaming about it even now!

I have a final post coming soon about the rest of our 2nd day, details from the 3rd day, and a fantastic giveaway for you guys as well!  I hope you’ll stay tuned – it won’t disappoint!

Just popping in from the place moms flock to on ra Just popping in from the place moms flock to on rainy days just to get out of the dang house: the aisles of Target. 😂 Not a lot to say, but I’m going to leave you  with 3 affirmations I want you to repeat to yourself today:

❤️ I AM STRONG
❤️ I AM CAPABLE
❤️ I AM ENOUGH

BECAUSE YOU ARE. Have a wonderful day friends!
Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smo Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smoothie has 40 grams of protein, lots of green goodness and tastes like a pineapple-vanilla dream!

- 1 cup water
- 1 cup frozen pineapple
- 1 cup frozen kale or spinach
- 1 scoop vanilla protein
- 1 serving collagen peptides (I use 2 scoops of @bulletproof brand; some brands just have one big scoop)
- 1 scoop greens powder (I used @amazinggrass)

Blend and enjoy!
🥗 FAST FOOD! Real real: I hate when people are 🥗 FAST FOOD!

Real real: I hate when people are all, “you can cook food in the same time it takes to grab takeout.” That is not always true, and sometimes it’s just about not wanting to try. Effort is hard, amen?!

Today I’m thankful to have had the energy and want-to to cook something a little healthier and save a little money. That’s not always the case, but today it was and I’ll count it as a win!

In the bowl: 3/4 cup black beans, 1/4 cup corn, 2 big handfuls of spinach, and two eggs. Seasoned it all with salt, pepper, garlic and smoked paprika!

Any wins y’all feel like sharing today? Let’s hear it and celebrate!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thi Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thing I’ve been eating on repeat all week):

- 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons brewed coffee (optional)*
- 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
- 1 serving unflavored collagen peptides
- Sweetener of choice
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips

Heat the oats, water, milk and coffee in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until thickened to your liking (although keep in kind the flax seeds and cooling will thicken it even further). Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients except the chocolate chips; I like to use a whisk to make sure the collagen doesn’t clump. Pour in a bowl, sprinkle with the chocolate chips and enjoy!

*I love to add a little coffee to mine to help enhance the chocolate flavor, but you do you!
And sometimes this is what it means to “work fro And sometimes this is what it means to “work from home.” 😂
Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but thought it was worth sharing here too. When it comes to how I plan out meals, I look for 3 things:

🥗Whole foods. Not like the store (that’s called Whole Paycheck, right?), but meaning foods that haven’t been minimally processed. Fresh veggies, lean protein sources, whole grains, etc. I do have a few processed things on hand (protein bars) just in case I’m in a place where I need something SUPER quick, but that’s it. 

🥗High fiber. There are so many reasons we should be getting in plenty of fiber (Google is your friend here guys), but if I’m being honest I just feel better when I’m getting plenty of it. Leaner, more regular, more satiated. The list goes on! Besides the obvious fresh produce, I also eat plenty of legumes, whole grains (rolled oats, farro, quinoa - even though it’s a seed), flax and chia seeds.

🥗Hit my protein goals. Again, an essential nutrient. I have composition goals, and for my muscles to recover from my hard workouts I have to make sure I’m getting in enough protein. For me this means chicken, fish, and the occasional beef or pork.

Wondering - would y’all be interested in how I do my meal planning and shopping trips?  If so just drop your favorite emoji below!
It’s Friday, which means a myriad of things:

1️⃣Weekend vibes! Think soccer games, yard work, church, family time. Love it!
2️⃣The end of my meal prep. Not gonna lie, I won’t make this stew again...although the couscous was a fun addition!
3️⃣Sleeping in. HALLELUJAH.
4️⃣A chance to set up next week to be a great one!

It’s going to be a fabulous weekend y’all. What are you up to?!
#brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick #brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick myself for not showing y’all how orange these yolks were. 🍳 Eggs are one of the foods I spend a little more on because the flavor and nutrient density are worth it!
.
Pictured: seared mushrooms, roasted baby broccoli, bacon and 2 eggs. Not pictured: another parfait like last night’s because 😋.

What’s your brinner go-to?!
