Whipped cream on a Monday morning!
Because I think we could all use a little somethin’ special to get our week started!
Side note: Don’t you think whipped cream flavored coffee would be amazing? Someone should get on that if they haven’t already.
Weekend
How was your weekend?
Ryan and I celebrated our anniversary in Orlando on Saturday!
(The shirt he is wearing was one of his anniversary presents from me. Lookin’ good!)
It was a dreary day, but that made it the perfect day to see an afternoon musical and enjoy a cozy dinner at one of our favorite restaurants.
If you ever make your way out to Hillstone (formerly Houston’s) in Winter Park, you must order the grilled artichoke appetizer to share. It’s unbelievable and Ryan and I couldn’t get enough!
Sunday was very relaxed in the Fagan household. We took Sadie on a hike after church and spent most of the day completing various errands and chores.
She looks truly pathetic in that picture. What a goof.
Workout
This morning waking up at 5 a.m. was a little easier than usual thanks to the time change. Although I know I won’t love the time change later this evening when it is dark outside earlier than usual, driving home from the gym with the sun shining was a treat!
I took a 45-minute 5:15 a.m. spinning class (and ran into my sweet friend Emily) and followed it up with the 7 minute workout while I waited for Ryan to finish his time in the weight room.
Breakfast
Breakfast this morning was a batch of overnight oats!
Plus a mug of s’mores cofffee topped with whipped cream!
Hot ‘n’ delicious!
Enjoy your Monday, my friends!

Sounds like a wonderful anniversary celebration! My husband and I just celebrated our wedding anniversary last weekend – 6 years…yay!!! 🙂
Jillian Mitchell says
Whipped cream coffee would be fantastic! Don’t you love Archer Farms coffees. I have hot buttered rum which is super, and a coconut macaroon which I have not yet opened. I love that Sadie dog 🙂
peanutbutterfingers says
yes!! they are so good! i just discovered them early this fall and am so impressed. delicious!
Arielle M says
Do you eat anything before your morning workouts? What do you suggest if you workout before breakfast and need fuel for your workout?
peanutbutterfingers says
Hi Arielle! It depends. I cramp up easily so I usually need to eat about 60 min. before a workout and since I don’t want to wake up at 4 a.m. just to eat, I will often workout on an empty stomach or just eat a big scoop of peanut butter or a small banana for a workout – something light. On weekends or days when I work out after 7 a.m., I always eat something right after I wake up and before my workout.
Sarah @ Sweet Miles says
Happy anniversary!! I’m glad you guys had a great weekend celebrating and relaxing 🙂 Sadie is too cute, as usual!
Heather says
I have the exact same coffee from Target and I can’t get enough! Although, now I really want some whipped cream coffee haha!
peanutbutterfingers says
isn’t it amazing!?! i want another cup…
Jackie says
Whipped cream coffee sounds to die for!
Lisa says
Whipped cream coffee?! I’d be all over that one!
Happy Anniversary to the two of you! Sounds like you guys had a nice celebration!
Lyndsay says
That coffee sounds so amazing and I have searched Target for weeks for it…maybe they will bring it back now that the candy corn flavor is hopefully gone 🙂
Kelly @ Kelly Runs for Food says
After hearing so much about s’mores coffee from you and other people I know, I bought a bag at TJ Maxx and am drinking it in my office right now. So good! I’ll definitely buy this again. Makes me wonder about all the other awesome flavors out there I’ve been missing out on!
Brittany @ The Fit Phoenician says
Happy Anniversary!
The way Sadie likes being held is hilarious!!
Sara @ LovingOnTheRun says
Whipped creme is always a GREAT way to start the week! Looks like you all had a great weekend! Love your green dress- it is a beautiful color on you!
Hope @ With A Side Of Hope says
I went to a Coffee & Tea Festival over the weekend and believe it or not, I actually saw Whipped Cream flavored coffee! I was hoping they would have some out to sample but unfortunately they didn’t. Happy Anniversary! 🙂
Kristi says
S’mores coffee sounds soooo good – I need to pick some up! 🙂
Kristen @ notsodomesticated says
S’mores coffee?? I need to try that! It sounds so good!
courtstar @ star systemz says
What a lovely way to start a Monday o C
Natalie @ Free Range Human says
All the pictures of you holding Sadie crack me up! She looks like such a big dog to be held like that!
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
oh my gosh, s’mores coffee??!?! Haha now THAT sounds good!
Miranda @ Lovely Wife Lovely Life says
What kind of creamer do you put in that coffee!? I want to try a different flavor of coffee (I love pumpkin spice but it’s starting to get old) but I don’t know what flavor of creamer to use with it! I have mocha coffee that tastes horrible with vanilla creamer…
peanutbutterfingers says
I just use vanilla almond milk! I’ll use fancy creamers at friends’ houses or at my parents’ house from time to time but we don’t usually buy any unless I have a random craving for it. Whipped cream is a great “creamer!” 😀
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
I love adding in some whipped cream to my coffee/hot chocolate! It adds the most wonderful creaminess and I usually find myself adding in some more after every few sips haha. You look gorgeous as always!
Stacey Chick says
My goodness, your hair in the first picture is gorgeous! I absolutely love it! What did you use to get those curls?
Andrea says
I was just going to ask the same thing!
Julie @ Peanut Butter Fingers says
Thank you!! I curled it using a curling iron but didn’t use the clamp so it was more of a curling wand. And I left a little bit of the ends out so it wasn’t too structured! 🙂
Katie @ running4cupcakes says
Perfect way to start Monday!! I started my Monday at 5:30 am (about an hour earlier than I usually get up) because the baby hasn’t quite caught on to day light savings time yet!! And while it is nice that it is light out in the morning – I would much rather have it be light in the evening – the sun going down at 5pm just isn’t cool!
Chelsea @ TableForOne says
Whipped cream makes everything better! Growing up, my brother and I took turns squirting it into our mouths until the whole bottle was gone. Ha, now I enjoy a more reasonable amount. I think it tastes the best on a mug of hot cocoa. Yum!
Amy says
That picture of Sadie made me LOL! Congratulations on your anniversary!
Marissa @ Barefoot Colorado says
Artichokes are my fave! Even though I didn’t win the gift card I’m SO going to go design my own nano’s!! I just can’t resist.
Alex @ Cookie Dough Katzen says
S’mores coffee? Yum! Yes, totally on board with whipped cream coffee too. Glad you two had a wonderful anniversary weekend!
Nicole says
S’mores coffee?! Yum!!
Nicole @ FruitnFitness says
S’mores coffee with whipped cream sounds like a perfect Monday treat! I love artichokes! My boyfriend and I steam them, they are surprisingly easy to make and one of my favorite sides.
Cari says
If you ever go to Starbucks and want a yummy whip cream espresso drink you can get an espresso con panna (affogato- make sure to say affogato so the shot goes on top of the, I feel like it flavors more of the whip cream and makes it sooo much yummier). I usually get a tall in a grande cup for extra whip cream but keeps it down to one shot, because, well I like to go over board on the whipped cream. Plus I don’t do it that often so I feel entitled to a splurge…. but enough of the justification, give it a try!
Joelle @ on a pink typewriter says
I could def use some whipped cream today… Mondays need a little something extra for SURE.
Ashley @ BrocBlog says
That smores coffee looks so beyond amazing!
Kimberly says
I need to start making my coffee at home (I currently have a very expensive Starbucks habit haha). I LOVED the time change yesterday, it made the day seem so long. Plus, I got up early today for my first session with a personal trainer and it was nice to have the sun up when I got out. Yay!
Laura says
I’m such a musical nut that it’s killing me to not know what you saw! So what did you see?? 🙂
Annette@FitnessPerks says
Mondays def need some whipped cream in the day!!
Livi says
s’mores coffee– yum!!!
Ashley says
Happy Anniversary to both of you! 🙂
And I am not drooling over the idea of a cup of smore’s coffee with whipped cream topping! What a PERFECT way to start a Monday! OR Tuesday, or Wednesday…
Anna @ Fitness à la Anna says
Sounds like the perfect way to start your Monday morning! I’m always so impressed that you guys can get up so early to get in a workout…I’m more of a workout-after-work kind of gal 😉
Taylor @ Single-tracked Mind says
Happy anniversary! Whipped cream flavored coffee is brilliant. trademark that!
Kelsey says
So bummed I didn’t win the shoes!
That artichoke appetizer looks incredible! And smores flavored coffee?! What could be better!
Melissa says
Yum! I love whipped cream, especially topped on hot drinks! Looks great.
Ashley says
That picture of Sadie soo funny!! made me laugh, she is soo cute!!
steph says
Where did you buy Ryan’s shirt? Your dress looks wonderful too! 🙂
Kristen says
OMG! I love that you can hold Sadie like a toddler! Our dog is about 62lbs, so she is too heavy to hold like that, but I would if I could! So cute.
Linz @ Itz Linz says
whipped cream on anything is a winning addition! 🙂
janet says
We live for coffee flavoured whipped cream1
1 cup(s) heavy cream, substitute whipping cream
2 teaspoon(s) instant-coffee granules, substitute espresso powder (you can always ask a restuarant to sell you a package of Sanka powder if you cannot find it at a local bulk food stoere)
2 tablespoon(s) sugar
Directions
In small bowl, add instant-coffee granules or espresso powder and sugar; add heavy or whipping cream and beat with hand beater or mixer at medium speed until soft peaks form (overbeating causes cream to curdle and turn to butter).
On hot days, chill bowl and beaters.
Make that recipe and then fold in 1 package of prepared instant chocolate or vanilla pudding … we fight over this recipe at my house.
Nothing tastes as good as a calorie!
Emily @Sinful Nutrition says
Can’t find a whipped cream flavored coffee yet, but Godiva does have a chocolate truffle one that I bet whipped cream would top quite nicely! 🙂
Cate says
Happy Anniversary!
Have you had the veggie burger from Hillstone’s? It’s amazing and it’s the only veggie burger I’ve ever craved!
Megan says
Happy 3rd Anniversary! My husband and I are celebrating 3 years this month as well! How do you curl your hair? I love it!
skigirl0891 says
Julie and I crazy or did you have a pic of some banana coffee once? I remember trying to find it and the stores around me were all out…now I can’t remember the brand!!
