I like lists, so here is a list of the fantastic things about my day. No surprise that most of them are food.
1. Green Purple Monster
Banana, blueberries, spinach, protein powder, almond milk, peanut butter, chia seeds, 2 clementines, water
2. Leftovers for lunch
Baked tofu and broccoli slaw
3. Snacks that involve peanut butter and coconut
½ cup plain yogurt, 1 spoonful peanut butter, coconut granola
4. Exercise. I started to take Punky for a walk, but it felt so dang good to be alive and outside that I ended up running sprints on a nearby field in the dark. It felt phenomenal. It was snowy and blowy, which leads me to #5
5. This hat
6. Roasted Veggie Dinner. This one wins as THE favorite. Hands down.
Sweet potatoes, zucchini, red onion, eggplant. Topped with a yogurt/spicy mustard/bbq sauce mix and walnuts and pepitas.
7. Cookies. I haven’t had one yet, but I’m sure it will make the list in about 5 minutes.
I made these cookies last night, but substituted the chocolate chips for chopped up chocolate truffles.
8. Straight from the 3rd grade world…puzzles!
The teamwork with which my kiddos have been working on this puzzle all week makes my heart smile.
Your roasted veggies look like my favorite too! I like the idea of the special sauce you made
So glad you had a great day!!
1- Purple is my favorite color. Therefor that shake ROCKS!
2- I hope the field was somewhat lit! I have done the same thing at the smoky hill track when i was at my dads and ended up coming home with some cuts and scrapes… I am an idiot though.
3- That roasted veggie dinner looks exquisite… Never have i ever thought to put pepitas on my roasted veggies, that combo sounds phenomenal… I will try this tomorrow.
4- Puzzles are the best for rainy/stormy nights when all you feel like doing is relaxin! Fun fact: My mother has a huggge collection of puzzles, like we are talking more than 50.
awesome hat! and i loveee roasted veg meals!
cookies and you looking sassy n cute in that hat? priceless!
I LOVE puzzles! I could still sit and do them all day.
I’m a list person, too. Sometimes I like to write things on the list I’ve already done- so I can cross them off. I think it may be considered a sickness at this point…
Chocolate truffle cookies? That is amazingness in a cookie!!!!
Aw man, I miss doing puzzles! I might have to go buy a complicated one this weekend and make it my project. Great list of things
What a cute heart shaped bowl! I’m such a girl
Love your roasted veg for dinner, definitely one of my favorite easy meals!
Food usually ends up being my favorite parts of the day. And that puzzle is really cute.
That purple monster has to be better than the green ones, if only because it’s PURPLE! Puzzles are fun! I bet the boys weren’t too thrilled it was a Mini Mouse one though….Ha!
The boys are actually more into it than the girls! I don’t think they care what the picture is, they just like problem solving!
Your list would sound perfect for my life.
And I loved puzzles! I still do, but they’re harder to find good ones and time for(also, not much space for a 500 piece puzzle in a dorm room)
Cute hat!
I love making lists too. I find it really calming when I’m stressed.
I love anything that includes any nut butter!
You are so cute! I love that hat…although I would get some weird looks with that on in Texas!
Pretty smoothie! And your hat is fabulous!
Those roasted red onions are so pretty! What a great dinner… and chocolate truffles in cookies? I’ll take one, or five, please!
All your food looks delish! What kind of camera do you have?!
Love the chocolate truffles in there too!
That roasted veggie bowl looks so fantastic! Love the red onions, the sound of the sauce, everything!
I am a huge LIST girl too! =)
Yummy, roasted veggies……..so need to try that!
How long did you roast them for and at what temp.???
That hat is awesome.
That roasted veggie dinner looks fantastic! Great blend of flavors too.
Subbing truffles for chocolate chips? Genius!
That vegetable bowl looks so yummy!

Viveca
you see, numero cinco definitely wins as THE favorite, en mi libro…
Those roasted veggies look amazing!!
Im loving the hat too though.
Hahaha, amazing pics, girl!
YAY for leftovers!
Have a great Friday!
I love lists! I’m kind of addicted to them. Anybody wanna have an intervention?? Yeah, it probably wouldn’t work anyway…
Random question, but do you ever find yourself using food in a lot of your teaching? For example if I write a word problem on the board it almost always involves cookies or pizza… and when I use spelling words in sentences it usually goes something like this, “Find. Please help me find the nearest muffin. Find.” I have to actually TRY not to use food in my teaching. So hard for me… 
Ahh! I am so with you!! Mine always involve “going to the grocery store” – it’s so bizzare. Whenever I open my mouth, out pops a word problem or a spelling sentence about someone going to the grocery store for more food. Too funny, I’m glad I’m not alone.
I’m obsessed with making lists. And then remaking the list I just wrote. And repeat, repeat, repeat haha! So excited the hat made your list and that you are getting so much use out of it!!!
you should move to alaska.. you look super cute in furry hats!
why do your chia seed creations look so much better than any others ive seen?
that hat is awesome btw.
happy friday!
