Look at my cute CD…
My hubby post-race with his favorite water bottle girl. 
Chris finished his half marathon today in 1:13:21 and placed 3rd in his age group. It was not his fastest half, but still an amazing time. Love you CD!
Being the supportive wife that I am, I’ve been carbo loading right along with Chris. First up was curried lentils with coconut milk:
Curried lentils with veggies and hummus
The goal was a savory dish using my Turtle Mountain Original Coconut Milk Beverage, and this recipe did not disappoint. Delicious and even better the next day…and the next. Love leftovers!
Coconut milk ice-cream…I’m obsessed.
Heaven on a stick.
That right there was one amazing treat. My advice: Get yourself to your local grocery store and purchase a box of these coconut almond bars ASAP. Look for the box below in your local grocer’s freezer, and if they don’t carry them…make a request. Trust me, you need these in your life!
My one coconut milk product disappointment…
Coconut milk beverage in coffee = gross brown water.
We’ve really enjoyed tasting our array of coconut milk product samples, and I have a few more recipes I still want to try. Thanks again to the folks at Turtle Mountain for supplying Chris and I with our share of medium chain fatty acids this week!
Now for the winners of the Turtle Mountain So Delicious Coupon Giveaway!!!
My brilliant (& super fast) husband downloaded all comments and pingbacks from my giveaway into Excel and generated 4 random numbers to pick the following winners:
Congrats to all winners! I was overwhelmed by the response and so grateful for everyone who took the time to stop by my blog and say “Hi”.
Now, even if you didn’t win, I encourage all of you to seek out some of Turtle Mountain’s So Delicious products because they truly are so delicious!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend my friends. I’m off to have one more coconut almond bar…JUST ONE!

Keep enjoying those coconut almond bars:)
i agree — you guys are SO cute. congrats to chris on the race — i don’t know what he would have done without your water bottle services!
and oh man, i am j-e-a-l-o-u-s of those winners! that ice cream bar … YUM.
What a cute picture!!
Yay for carb loading, that dish sounds awesome!!
Yayyyyy for CD! That is fabulous! And congrats to all the winners- I’m totally jealous
Hope you two are having a good night celebrating his big finish!
I am a fellow water girl for my DH!
I must find those ice cream bars
You two are for sure the CUTEST! I saw Chris during the race and yelled for him to GO, GO, GO. And…saw you guys after the race…but didn’t come say hello. Please tell him congrats for me. Was nice to see him out racing again.
Yum…we are for sure going to try out the coconut milk products.
By the way – being the healthy eater that you are…have you heard of Mona Vie? If so, write me off line and tell me what you know. Long story short…someone mailed me a bottle. I think it contributed to some tummy issues…so I stopped taking it. But, I thought I read before you were a big fan of acai??
Enjoy your post half restocking the fuel evening!!
YAY Congrats to you & Mr. Almond Butter
So fun!
What a great day for you both. Congrats!!
I just started reading your blog and I just love it. Thank you so much for all the healthy and yummy ideas!
Turtle Mountain will be found in a nearby grocery very soon.
M! Thanks so much for reading and for your kind words regarding my blog. Hope you enjoy some Turtle Mountain products very soon!
Congratulations, CD! Even if it wasn’t your fastest ever, I am still super impressed. You look like the perfect water bottle girl, Heather
That coconut milk ice cream bar absolutely looks like heaven. Congratulations to all four lucky, LUCKY winners. I can’t wait to try these products! I’ll pick ‘em out one by one – but you know I’m heading for those bars first!
Impressive!! Congrats to you and the hubs!
I picked up a carton of the coconut milk (the unsweetened version) from the refrigerator case today, and I can’t wait to try it. I’ve tried a number of their products in the past, and I’m excited to try something new! They make some darn good stuff!
The curried lentils look awesome too, by the way!

Those coconut almond bars look SO good. I need them.
Great pic, and congrats to Chris!

Congrats Chris! You’re lucky to have such a hottie water bottle girl.
Congrats to the winners, although I am v. v. jealous.
You and your husband are super adorable together!! =) I have never tried coconut products like that, but I think next time I’m home(since my freezer is super small at college) I will have to pick some up! Thanks for sharing the reviews.
You two are soooo cute together!
HE IS WICKED FAST! CONGRATS TO HIM!
Man, I never win at these things
I put those ice cream bars on my grocery list. You’re right, I think I do need them in my life! 
Congrats to Chris – what an amazing time!
Wow – You both have striking blue eyes – you’re a very cute couple
Yay for the 1/2 marathon running-hubby!! And for coconut ice cream, those bars look and sound so good and I may just take your advice to pick some up at the local grocery(the closest one to me is Whole foods so hopefully they have em!). Also, I love the brown hair, it must be somewhat new bc the pic of you on the side is blonde.
Lisaheartspizza,
Have a good week Lisa!
Your Whole Foods should have the coconut ice-cream bars in the freezer section as I just saw them at mine this last week. So delicious! Thanks for your sweet comments about my hair. I’m naturally blond…well used to be anyway. Now, I change things up all the time – I figure it’s just hair. If I don’t like it, I can always change it back.
McD… congrats to Chris.. Great job! Those ice cream bars are calling my name! Big time.
zesty
You guys are ADORABLE!!
Congrats to Chris! And I’ll bet you made the best water bottle girl out there
what a cute pic!! I was definitely feeling a lackage of Heather pics in my life
Congrats to CD!!
So adorable. It makes me want a big bowl of veggies with hummus.
Oh, that picture of you guys is kind of cute too
Thanks for your sweet comment. I’ve been the one that’s been MIA, but I’m back with a vengeance!
You know I loveeeeee my ice cream bars. that bar sounds AMAZING. I love so delicious products-havent tried the coconut line-but someone told me they are taking away their soy yogurts and replacing them with coconut! But!? but?! but…..
oh well, i trust your judgment
NO.
you two could NOT BE ANY CUTER.
love the pics.
and am now thinking I wanna follow suit with pics as I really liked putting a face with his name
You guys are such a gorgeous couple! And WOW – I am floored by his time. I would be on a stretcher after running that fast.
I want to eat those coconut bars through the screen! I will keep a look out for them at my store. Although I do have trouble with “mini” things – my head says to eat several “minis” to equal one “whole.”
thats a great half marathon time!!! congrats to hubby!!
damn i didnt win the so delicious giveaway
Oh my! I can’t believe I won and I CAN’T wait to try these out!
congrats to CD and the winners!!
Wow! Congrats to your husband. That’s an awesome time and a very cute picture of the two of you.
blue eyes central! so cute!
You kids are so cute! Congratulations to Chris!
Those coconut milk “ice cream” bars look SO GOOD. I used to eat the Haagan-Daaz a couple times a week when I was younger. If only!
Wow…..that is an race amazing time! It would take me 1/2 a day! Ha! I am still searching for those dang ice cream bars! I have the mini coconut ice cream sandwiches and NEED to try the rest of the products. My search continues…….. Cute picture BTW…I love the dark hair
SUPER CUTE PICTURE!!! Yes I must get myself some coconut ice cream…asap!
You two are sooo cute! Thanks for the Starby’s tip girl!
dairy DEFINITELY does not help the snotty/mucus/phlegm
problem. and too much of it upsets my tum. i really dont
consume that much. mostly just in the form of cottage
cheese. i love them both far too much to cut them out.
and in these podunk parts its hard to find alternatives!
Congratulations to your hubby! Oh, and to you for being the first place water bottle girl.
Cute CD!!! Those bars look delicious!!! I am on the lookout for them!!
mmmmmmm, veggies and hummus.
i love all things coconut!
i sort of hate how CD just ran a race and looks totally normal and cute. my hair would be a hot MESS and my mascara would be running all over. boys…
so jealous that you and justine got to hang out!! let me know how the rice proteins work; i never know how different proteins will change what i’m making, like the consistency and such (i dont know a thing about cooking, clearly), so i never experiment. but the one I just used was actually good! it did have a green tint to it (eek) but it didn’t taste icky at all really, especially once you add a little stevia and cinnamon. try it!
Adorble picture of your two =)
Must. Get. Those. Bars.
Hi Heather! My name is Emily. I just started my first food blog @ http://curlytopbop.blogspot.com/and gave you a special shout out.
Congragulations to your hubby for finishing the race with such a big smile! I completed my first 5k on Turkey Day and spent the next 36 hours hobbling around the house cursing the running gods.
With Love,
Emily
Damn he is fast! I want some of that speed!
Those coconut almond bars look incredible!! I love love love the coconut milk frozen yogurt; definitely need to pick up some of those bars too
