We have a really good problem happening in our back yard. The lettuce is growing out of control. Which means I can’t stop making salads. Even if I wanted to. Today’s salad was born because of an impulse purchase I made at the grocery store… Without a doubt, the best veggie burgers I’ve ever had. … Continue reading »

Lovin’ Lunch
Usually, lunch isn’t a big deal for me. I’m frequently grading papers/answering emails/lesson planning during that time, so it’s rushed and if I didn’t stop to take pictures, I would probably not even register what I was eating. But that was not the case today. Every part of this bowl was delicious. Starting with the … Continue reading »
Not ready.
Sunday night, already??! I’m not ready for another week of work. Not ready at all. So let’s go back to the beginning of this day and not think about the impending Monday morning… Breakfast The oatmeal: ½ cup oats, ½ cup soy milk, ½ cup water, pinch of salt, 2 tbs. pumpkin, 1 tbs. chia … Continue reading »
Housewife Monday
I want to be a housewife. Today was perfection. Since I had the day off of school, I got laundry done, worked out, cleaned, grocery shopped, baked cookies, walked the dog. It was all fantastic. I started the day by making pancakes for my husband. I also nibbled on a couple while I was making … Continue reading »

I wish I could have this type of day every day. It may lose its appeal after some time, but it was just right for today. Breakfast was so leisurely, it felt indulgent. Good thing I’m still on vacation. I used my new stovetop espresso maker to create a semi-latte. And what I mean by … Continue reading »

After a fair amount of hugs, laughter, and dinner, we went crazy with frosting and … Continue reading »
Salad and Snow
This morning started out in a rush… I woke up early enough, but then got sidetracked reading blogs, and was subsequently rushing to get ready for church. As a result, breakfast was quick. Coffee and this smoothie (I’m still living off post-race swag) which I drank half of last night, and half of this morning. … Continue reading »
Track Tuesday
This day flew by. I had a lot on my to-do list at school, but before I knew it…the day was over and I was on my way home. That is one thing I love about teaching – the days are so jam packed, there is never a down moment, so time flies. I can’t … Continue reading »
Nothing wrong with toast
After an invigorating bike ride this morning, I was craving yogurt. But I know my metabolism, and yogurt doesn’t usually cut it until lunch time, so I added some fun things. About a cup of plain yogurt 1 handful (about 5) grapes – cut in half 1 scoop chocolate protein powder 2 tbs. Nature’s Path … Continue reading »
