What I’m Loving This Weekend

Posted on February 4, 2012

Hello friends! Sounds like everyone’s weekend are off to a good start! I am seeing lots of positive tweets and comments lately!

I have a feeling this is gonna be a pretty good weekend. Last week was quite hectic and I am anticipating this coming week to be just as busy…so enjoying these two days off is a MAJOR priority! Mother nature certainly is assisting with that…hello 40 degree weather! As are a few more fun things…

What I’m Loving This Weekend!

1. New Magazines

2. New Foodie Finds

Cannot wait to try this!! 1200 mg of Omega 3’s per cup!? YES PLEASE.

I also picked up some red cabbage to try! I usually by the green so I am interested to see if it tastes any different! Regardless, it’s a great way to get some purple food in your diet!!

3. Jessica Chastain

I LOOOVED her in The Help and for some reason since then, all the movies my parents and I have been watching have had her in it!! She is such a great actress! Last night we watched The Debt (in which she was a main character!) and it was SO good.

4. UBER Krispy Kabocha

I have finally figured out the BEST method to get my kabocha SUPER crispy…just the way I like it…SLICE IT THIN! I don’t why I didn’t figure that out sooner but I am loving it!

5. 99 cent Larabars

You can’t go wrong!!

6. Knitting

I got on a knitting kick this Summer and knitted a whole blanket! Well looks like I am back on it again…I love keeping my hands busy!

7. Positive Notes in Public

Found this on the school bathroom mirror! Love it!

8. Being Able to Still Wear Skirts in the Middle of Winter

Once again…thank you Mama N!

9. New Products to Experiment With

Just got these Hooray Puree’s! Can’t wait to do some baking with them!

Surprised you didn’t see the SUPERBOWL on my list?

Ehh. I ‘m not. I am not a football fan at all…sorry to those of you who are! I do like the commercials though…so if I do end up tuning in, it’ll probably be for those! Winking smile

What’s one thing you’ve been obsessed with lately? A food? An actor? An activity?

Are you a football fan? Will you be watching ‘the big game’?

Has anyone ever tried Flax Milk?

I am curious if its similar to almond!

WIAW: A Break from the Words

Posted on January 31, 2012

I have bombarded you all with a TON of wordy posts over the last few days! So let’s take a little break from all of that today and focus on the fun stuff…the FOOD!

WIAW time!

[Link up at Jenn’s!]

Perfect timing for a less wordy post…cause I have A TON of food pics to share!!!

[orange creamsicle green monster with oats, raisins, fiber cereal, puffs, and ezekiel nuggets!]

[israeli couscous salad with cheese and crackers]

[cottage cheese tomato toast with basil]

[99 cent blackberries and the BEST humus flavor ever: Spinach Artichoke!]

[whole wheat spaghetti with peppery marinara]

[sunbutter toast]

[OVERNIGHT OATS! Haven’t had them since Summer…but I got a major craving!]

I think it’s the change in the weather that has revived my craving for ONO’s! In a matter of days we have gone from this…

TO THIS!!!

Okay so maybe there isn’t THAT much greenery and the leaves are definitely off the trees…but ALL THE SNOW IS GONE! And that makes me incredibly happy! We even got some sun today and the temperature was…wait for it…FIFTY FREAKING DEGREES! I went for a bike ride in shorts people…shorts!! IN JANUARY.

It seriously has been the mildest winter I have ever experienced. Especially for us Buffalonians…people were pretty much in Summer clothes today!

Thank you Mama Nature!

Tried any fun NEW foods/combo’s lately?

I am still craving PB like mad!

Love you all!

Two for One Special!

Posted on January 28, 2012

Just for you!!

It’s happened again! ANOTHER giveaway winner has yet to claim their prize!

It really irks me ya know!? Because it pretty much says that they only stopped by to enter the giveaway and had no intention of ever actually reading my blog…ugh. Makes me mad. Does this bother anyone else?

But my frustration and the winner’s missed opportunity means good stuff for all of you!!!

Random Number Generator and I are becoming good friends…

The NEW winner is…

Congrats Julie!! Email me your info and I will get your scale out to you ASAP!

And remember…there is still time to enter my Shabby Apple giveaway!

Okay Okay! ENOUGH giveaway talk.

In other news…

WHY HAS IT TAKEN ME 17 YEARS TO SEE THIS MOVIE?

Currently watching (and LOVING) this movie. Now I know why it’s a classic.

Other Saturday shenanigans included:

Driving into a blizzard!

I know the picture doesn’t show much…but seriously the BIGGEST snowflakes of my life were coming down today! Pretty? Sure. But they don’t make for good driving.

And they are probably the main reason why I backed into a wall today…crushed my backlight and all. Good winter driver, I am not.

Munching Like It’s Muh JOB.

[swiss and jam tortilla with a NEW apple!]

Well it’s new to me any ways…BUT SO DELICIOUS. I think its called an Armanji apple? Anyone ever heard of these? It’s like a cross between a fuji, a honey crisp, and a pink lady…my THREE FAVORITE apples. So pretty much, I loved this.

Mooooore PB loving.

Reading!

[I love Kristen Bell!]

Sadly most of my Saturday “reading” was school related…but I did take a few breaks to catch up on some mags!

A good Saturday overall.

You may have noticed I didn’t mention anything fitness related though! Well, I’ve decided to take a little break from exercise for the next week or so (or at least dial back the intensity a bit!). You may recall I did this back in Summer for a little experiment and I really benefited from it! Its good to give your body a little breather every once in awhile. So if you’re friends with me on Daily Mile…you may seem a little less from me over the next few days in your feed and a few wimpier workouts in your feeds LOL!

Well, that’s all for me tonight folks! It’s snack time up in here!!!
