Gotta stop this!
I have got to quit quitting...
Stopping running is not hard...
Starting back on the other hand!
Going back to running after a break
is like when you pause a video game to go pee
and when you come back
you forget how intense and chaotic everything was when you paused it
and the second you unpause it
all your enemies collectively punch you in the face...

Fruit Leather!!
I made peach fruit leather tonight
HOMEMADE FRUIT LEATHER
Homemade fruit leather is so easy to make and is a great healthy snack! I used peaches for this recipe, but feel free to use your favorite fruit. Strawberries and raspberries are my other favorite fruits to use.
yield: 1 PAN FRUIT LEATHER-ABOUT 10 FRUIT ROLL-UPS
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups ripe chopped fruit (I used peaches this time)
Sweetener, to taste (I use agave or honey. Granulated sugar is fine too)
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 150 degrees F or the lowest temperature your oven will go. Line a 11 x 17 baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat. Set aside.
2. Puree the peaches and sweetener of your choice in a blender or food processor until smooth. Pour fruit mixture onto prepared baking sheet and spread to about a 1/8″ thick. I always pound the baking sheet on the counter a few times to make sure the fruit mixture is evenly distributed.
3. Place baking sheet in the oven and bake for 6-8 hours, until pan is set and the center is not tacky. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature. Gently peel off the fruit leather from the Silpat. Cut into squares or strips using a pizza cutter, knife, or scissors. If you want to make fruit roll-ups, roll the strips in parchment paper. Store in an air-tight container.
Note-if you don't have a Silpat baking mat, you can line the baking sheet with plastic wrap or parchment paper. The plastic wrap will not melt in the oven because the temperature is so low. I prefer to use a Silpat though. Get creative and use your favorite fruits, you can also mix fruits! The fruit leather will keep up to a month in an air-tight container.
