Fun fall day ’round here! I’ve enjoyed it, but I haven’t been very productive on the work front!
I met Victoria at her Y at 10:30 for a workout. We ran in the neighborhood for about 20 minutes – neither one of us wanted to go hard or fast so we just jogged and talked (and walked at times too). We wrapped up with about 10 minutes of walking on the track. Then it was time to get sculpted!! I can’t believe how much I enjoy this class now! It’s crowded and hard, but the hour goes by fast and I always leave feeling hard as a rock and shaking in my shoes. My muscles have definitely gotten more sculpted since I started going about a month ago.
Matt brought home some hot dog buns yesterday so I could enjoy another of the organic hot dogs Applegate Farms sent me!
I had frozen them and they thawed quite nicely (one for Matt too). I did 1/2 a pound’s worth of auto defrost in the microwave to thaw ‘em out and then 30 seconds on high. Perfect! Such a fun quick lunch.
On the side – carrot + zucchini
And sabra. Drool.

I love them. Seriously. I’ve been a vegetarian off and on for over ten years now, and the first time I went off, it was because of a hotdog. Ate it at a fair. Delish.
..but then I got terribly sick :/
But still. They are SO NUMMY.
Congrats on getting a nomination!
congrats on the foodbuzz noms!
Good to know that the applegates freeze so well!
That’s so cool about that nomination! You deserve it because not only do you have great recipes and info but you teach your readers other useful stuff, like the gmail tutorials. Bravo, Kath!
Oh Kath, you are such a humble little lady! You deserve the nomination!! It’s your hard work and dedication (and spunk) paying off! Congrats!
You should feel proud to be up for the nom with so many other HUGE blogs. Go Kath!!
So cool that you enjoy the sculpting class. Sometimes there is just something energizing about being in a group setting that makes you kick it up a notch! And it decreases the boredom factor too! Glad that it’s paying off physically too!
Your blog has a special place in my <3 b/c it was the very first one I ever read…..awwwww
You work so hard at this blog-you so deserve those nominations! Can you believe that a little journal over at CK led to this??!?!

Congratulations on your nominations! Wishing you the best! As I read in someone else’s post, yours is the very first blog I ever read and have been enjoying it ever since! Thanks so much for all the great tips.
Loving the videos. Thanks for teaching me lots of cool new things for gmail. I was wondering, do you have some connection with gmail, or do you just really love it?
I love your blog, and good luck on your nomination! Your hot dog plate with veges makes me look at hot dogs in a different light. Thanks.
Your pictures look so good! I can’t believe how good! I need to buy that camera for my own blog! I will have to look for good deals.

At first glance that hot dog bun looked moldy. How do they taste?
Thanks for the second installment. These really are so helpful and I appreciate you putting them together. Streamlining and organizing my life is a big priority for me right now, so I’m doing everything I can.
