Operation Strong Arms

Posted on 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

Posted on 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?
