Not a shopper

Posted on July 1, 2011 | 11 Comments

I am inherently not a shopper.

I would much rather spend my day riding my bike, hiking, reading in the sun, or reading blogs :)

But today I felt like shopping!

But first I ate a fabulous bowl of fruit.

And oat bran with chia seeds drizzled with tahini and a small scoop of almond butter.

I paired my breakfast with a Kombucha.  I am feeling a bit rundown today.  Hopefully just tired from all my tough workouts this week.

Then I took of and went shopping :)

It was nice and quiet because it was early and it because it is a weekday.  Please so not take me shopping on a weekend and please do not take me to an enclosed mall.

I scored quite a few summer and work items at really good prices at Old Navy and American Eagle.  It was a good shopping day with lots of discounts.  That made me happy!

Then I raced home because I was starving and devoured another Kombucha and this Trek bar I got yesterday.

Now I got my feet up, relaxing, reading blogs and waiting for Bill to get home so we can start the weekend.  I am going to make Jenna’s no oil pesto tonight and pair it with gluten-free pasta.

Can’t wait!

What are your plans for this glorious 3 day weekend?

Are you a shopper?

Last Chance to Enter

Posted on March 24, 2010 | 30 Comments

Bill and I had a lovely pasta dish last night.

Have you noticed that I tend to rotate between pasta and salad throughout the week?  Sorry if I bore you with my lack of variety :(

Do you have two types of meals that you rotate through a lot?

We decided to give this pasta a shot:

Do you use this pasta?  Do you think it is better for you than others or not?

While the pasta was cooking, I steamed up carrots, broccoli, snow peas, and spinach.

Once the pasta was done and drained,  I put it back into the pot and mixed in some crushed garlic, the steamed veggies, a can of tuna, and this delicious find:

Before serving I added some leftover hummus and a bit of shredded parmesan cheese:

After my tough workout yesterday with Khrystle and Bill’s tough bike ride last night, the pasta really hit the spot :)

Thank goodness we have it for lunch today too.  Don’t you love leftovers?

I always try to make extra at dinner so we have lunch for the next day.

Do you do that too?

Today is the last day to enter my giveaway for a super cute thermal hoodie.  Any comment you leave on the original post or this post today will count as an entry.

The contest ends tonight at 8pm and I will pick a winner tomorrow.

Hopefully if you win you will be wearing your hoodie next week!

Happy Hump Day :)
