Feeling better

Strawbs-yogurt

As I mentioned yesterday, I’ve been feeling a little under the weather.  I don’t know if I was actually sick or if I simply had post-vacation blues, but I took the day off from the gym to nab a little extra shut-eye. I’m feeling much better now.  Revived!  Breakfast this morning was a big bowl of fresh strawberries (1.5 C serving fruit) with yogurt and raw oats.  If you haven’t tried raw oats as a topping, you really should.  Their flavor is hard to explain, but is slightly doughy.  Almost like a raw cookie dough – and who doesn’t like … Continue reading

Recipe Mix Up

Curried-Kobocha-Squash-Soup

Something unexpected happened today.

Then I tasted them.  They’re meh.  Not bad.  Not great.  Because, as the Hubs said “they don’t really taste like anything.” Then I made dinner using a vegetable that I had never cooked with before – Kabocha Squash (wiki it).  This round green veggie is sometimes … Continue reading

Muffin Celebration

Chocolate-chip-banana-muffins

I realized that I haven’t baked in a bit, and there were two lonely over-ripened bananas that were sitting on my counter just screaming to be used. “I need to be made into a baked good,” the small one cried.  “I know that I’m brown, but please don’t put me in the trash,” said the other. Lucky for those bananas, I was in a good mood.  You see, it’s been 6 weeks since my ankle sprain, and today was my first run since the injury.  Three miles on the treadmill – and oh was I excited!  There’s reason to celebrate!  … Continue reading
