Obsessed

August 6, 2010 34 Comments

This week I have been obsessed with veggies.

It is not like I have not done anything else but eat vegetables.  I have been running, biking, walking, and lunching with friends but for some reason the only pictures I have been taking have been of my veggie filled meals.

Case in point:

Maybe I should not be able to go to the farmers market?  I do get a bit obsessed with my veggies :)

Do not worry though-It is Friday!!!!!

And lots of fun things are planned today:

  • Run
  • Walk Charlie
  • Have lunch with Khrystle and Sara at a fun vegan place downtown
  • Errands
  • Dinner with friends

And tomorrow morning is BOOT CAMP-can’t wait!!!!

What are your fun plans?

Happy Friday friends!

Bill’s Bulgar

May 11, 2010 29 Comments

Last night while I was “playing” on the computer, Bill was making dinner.

He prepped the salmon before putting in the oven:

And made the best bulgur dish I have had to date.  Unfortunately, he is keeping it a secret even from me.  But I am guessing there were many spices involved and some olive oil.

Here is my dinner plate with some lemon hummus on top of my salmon:

It was a delicious meal!  I am really loving my new grains-bulgur and barley lately.  I also feel good that I am eating them instead of pasta all the time.

What healthier thing have you swapped out lately?

Also, what other grains should I try?

Remember last Friday when I was too tired to meet up with Khrystle for a Tabata Ropes workout?  Well today we are meeting up to do it :)   I am very excited because it sounds so different and I hear it is quite difficult.

I will let you know how it goes!

Have a great Tuesday-day two of testing for me…….

xoxo

Operation Strong Arms

March 23, 2010 16 Comments

Last night we tried some fun new items in our salad thanks to my Fresh and Easy run:

  • Loved the lemon hummus-of course I have not met a hummus I did not like!
  • The Butta :) Beans lived up to their name and were buttery and good.
  • And the tofu burgers tasted homemade not prepackaged like the frozen ones I normally buy.  I know I have to make my own soon ;)

My salad beast:

Well today is an exciting day for me! 

After work Khrystle and I are meeting to start my “training” regime.

Khrystle is a certified personal trainer and life style coach and a good friend ;) .

I will be using her personal training skills to get my upper body in shape and to speed up my running.

  • Tuesdays will be arms.
  • Thursdays will be speed work.

I am very excited to see what she has planned for me this afternoon.

I will definitely be back to let you know how Operation Strong Arms went!

Pepsi just wanted to say “hi”

Enjoy your day friends!

Hodge Podge

March 16, 2010 23 Comments

Bill and I had a busy weekend with all of the birthday stuff and his mountain bike race so we did not make time to do our weekly grocery shopping.

Instead we only bought a few fun items and decided to wing it for the week.

Do you ever decide to have a “cleaning out the pantry/refrigerator” week?

I think it is kind of fun because you end of making some interesting things!

Last night was no exception-I made what I like to call, a Hodge Podge Bowl.

The star of the show was this:

This was my first time buying these and I don’t think I would buy them again.

For the price they should have tasted better :(

I whipped up some Israeli Couscous for the base:

I cooked it in veggie broth, hemp milk, and added some raisins at the end

Baked up some vegetables:

There were yellow squash, sugar snap peas, garlic cloves, brussel sprouts, and sweet potatoes in the mix

Topped the bowl with some hummus and roasted almonds:

The Hodge Podge was a success!

Do you whip up some interesting eats at times?

What is your favorite “strange” combination?
