Protein Pants

I loved hearing all of your favorite seasons! I think the majority of the votes were for summer, but fall/spring were close seconds. Winter lost. Hah – serves its snowy 9 months right… I ate way more protein today than I usually do! It was unconscious, but I noticed that I didn’t feel quite as … Continue reading »

Monday Morning

I’m glad I’m not alone in my adoration of summetime. It really is the best season, and no one can convince me otherwise. I started out this day with ½ a mini watermelon and some blackberries. Coffee on the side. A beautiful breakfast. About an hour later, Punky and I went for a run. We … Continue reading »

Hello Friends! I hope you all had nice weekends, and got to celebrate the lovely summer weather and the dads in your lives. I was fortunate enough to do both! I love summer SO much – the only word I can think to describe it is glorious. Everything about this season is phenomenal. Is there … Continue reading »

A little flax in my coffee

Good Morning! The happiest of Friday to you all! I’m currently soaking up the sun at my kitchen table. A cat by my side, a dog at my feet. Life is good. What’s in the bowl? More of this yummy mess with an apple to dunk. It’s a little runnier today because I had to … Continue reading »

Laze

It was bound to happen. Since school ended, I have been rather productive…but today I donned my lazy pants. It started out well. I woke up before 7, ran 6 miles, went to Bible study, had lunch with the husband/in-laws…then when I got home – NOTHING. I fell asleep while reading. Then woke up and … Continue reading »

Leftover Salad Central

Wow…that spin class this morning was ridiculous! There were only six people in the class, and everybody was huffing, puffing, and dripping sweat for the entire 60 minutes. I loved it, and I love that it left me with a monster appetite for the rest of the day. Before I left, I had a homemade … Continue reading »

Sunny

Sitting in the sun and eating out of an ice cream bowl for breakfast is fun. I woke up craving this breakfast again. Just 3 healthy ingredients into the food processor for a minute or two: one frozen banana, ¼ cup raw oats, 1 tbs. peanut butter. Then I like to top mine with cinnamon. … Continue reading »

How to…

Build the perfect taco salad! Start with a bed of lettuce, and then pile on the toppings… My personal favorites include homegrown tomatoes green onions, CILANTRO (my fave), red peppers… Homemade guacamole is a must and the best salsa in the world doesn’t hurt. Add some sort of protein, and then pile it high… I … Continue reading »

Food Processor Love

I just love my bright green baby cutting board! Also, I used my food processor for EVERY meal today. The veggies are self-explanatory, but the orange blob is: 1 sweet potato, cooked 1 tbs. peanut butter Salt Cinnamon All into the food processor until smooth. Voila! The best dip/baby food ever. After this, I finally … Continue reading »

Small and Mighty

Good Morning! (I realize that it’s 10am, and many of you live in a time-zone where it’s already lunch). As for me, it’s still (sort of) morning, I’m still expeRAWmenting, and it just led me to an incredible breakfast. It looks small, but that little bowl really packed a punch. It was like a cross … Continue reading »
