Quickie blog POST that is… Haha… I KNEW I grabbed ya with that title!
Good morning blog buds! Another Monday morning is upon us. And another weekend of snow is behind us. We had a FOOT of snow over the weekend.
I am off to the dentist in about 15 minutes, so I’ll be typing like mad to get this published before I head out. Cross your fingers for me that I have NO cavities!
Yesterday morning brought a super late breakfast. I got busy doing things and then ate a little too late. You know that feeling when you go from hungry to famished to a little shaky and then full-on raging BEE-YOTCH?? It happens so quickly!
So I tried to quiet the monster with a little breakfast tostada action. While my breakfast wrap from the other morning was fab, THIS one was NOT a keeper.
Post-40-minute-treadmill green smoothie (still using that bag of cranberries!)
Post-snowblowing butternut squash soup (which is now all gone…. I’m so SAD!) I added a little sprinkle of cinnamon and a bit of orange zest, and BAM! It was EVEN BETTER!
Later some pseudo-healthful gingerbread men… no transfats or HFCS. But still flour and sugar nonetheless. Luckily the boxes are TINY!
With a little almond milk in my very appropriate snowflake mug…
Healthy popcorn with nutritional yeast during one of the worst movies of the year (G.I. JOE… sorry Channing Tatum, I think you’re great, but the movie was SO bad we had to stop halfway through because we started to feel our brains rotting…)
And a little GARBANZO action for dinner! We’ve officially decided that we are off of our Garbanzo kick for a while. We just don’t like our falafel char-fried. There is a new place (whose name escapes me at the moment) that serves similar food. We’ll try that next and compare their falafel.
I hope that you all had a SMASHING weekend!
Today’s discussion: I picked up a new Kindle book yesterday (well new to me, but not NEW new.) It’s called Eat to Live by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. So far it talks a lot about nutrient-dense foods being the mainstay of our diets (hey, sounds a lot like what I’ve been aiming to do!) Have any of you read it and/or apply his principles?
See you again soon!
