Our sun is OUT!!
We’ve been having tons of these gloomy mornings that turn into beautiful days. I’ll take it.
I did some sit-down work, then 1.5 hours of housework, then more sit-down work.
The middle of that sandwich was exhausting! I scrubbed baseboards and the kitchen floor on my hands and knees, among other tasks.
This required hydration replenishment!
After a nice shower, I made a simple lunch.
Garden greens in vinegar and oil plus smoked salt and a torn slice of High Five bread
And a tropical bowl of Siggi’s Coconut (which I like a lot) topped with fresh pineapple and chocolate sunflower seeds! An interesting combo that worked really well.
Pineapple water? Why not.
More writing, some packing, an errand and a book club to look forward to!

chocolate sunflower seeds look like mini easter eggs!
Your garden looks fab Kath! Very lush and green! I also love pineapple in my water and went through tons of it this weekend. So much better than plain. Have a great time at your book club!
We’ve been having a the opposite weather….beautiful all day and then rainy in the evenings!
You are lucky that the sun is out! We haven’t seen the sun since the afternoon on Sunday. I miss it! I love the chocolate covered sunflower seeds! They make the pineapple look so festive
Have you tried chocolate covered pumpkin seeds? I’m a fan
Not yet!
Haha your pineapple water cracked me up. It makes sense though now that I think about it! It’d be fun to plop in sparkling water, too.
Our sun is not out
the pineapple water is such a great idea, love your colorful lunch!
the pineapple i have gotten from WF recently has been SO delicious!! love that it is back in season. may just have to throw some in my water
You’re getting really creative with all these kinds of water!
I recently read that to keep blood sugars level throughout the day you should pair a fat/carb, protein/carb, or protein/fat/carb combo in every meal. From the RD prospective, is this what we should be looking for to create balance? I notice you have some meals like this where its not all in one dish, but a surprising combo.
Yes yes yes! That’s what I strive for in every meal/snack
I’m so impressed that you are packing already! Even when I am super excited about a trip, I avoid packing until the last possible second!
I bet putting the pineapple in the coconut water would be magical.
bahhh it looks gorgeous outside! Those weather patterns remind me of Calgary. It starts off being a little blowsy and cold but then ends in a gorgeous hot sunny day. It’s fine but it is hard to know what to wear when you go to work in the morning!
Love zicco! I drank that like it was going out of style when I was pregnant. Always hit the spot!
I aspire to be more like you with my planning and executing skills! I am so jealous!!!
Unfortunately that’s gonna be the weather in LA soon. We call it June Gloom!
pineapple and chocolate is a great combo, in any form.
enjoy your sunshine!
i can do a skimpy salad, but i pretty much always need some cheese or avocado on there to spruce it up! go you for being able to enjoy straight-up lettuce.but then again, your lettuce comes straight from your garden, so it probably tastes better than store-bought? i find when i splurge on spring mix at the farmer’s market, the lettuce tastes way herby-er and nice. enjoy the sunshine!
It does taste better, but I also longed for some goat cheese or avocado! Just didn’t have any
Fun and packed day! Glad your sunshine came out
Mmmmm at the dining hall at school, they always have pineapple+mint water, which is fantastic! Basil is great as well
Those choc sunflower seeds sound/look amazing!! YUMM.
You’re right about lunch, simple but it looks tasty!
love the idea of making the chocolate sunflower seeds part of a healthy snack!
I pretty much can’t eat a salad without chick peas, but that looks pretty darn good!
I only wish that coconut water was a taaaad cheaper- I love the stuff and think it really does hydrate- especially while pregnant.
I’ve been drinking coconut water as well but I found one that was much much cheaper in the asian supermarket and it wasn’t even the type that had added syrup or anything! Loveeee coconut
I love the way you flavor your waters!
i hear coconut water is good for you. i can’t get myself to drink it though.
When the husband and I were on Maui our resort had a giant container filled with water, ice and Maui Gold pineapple (only pineapple still grown in HI). I drank more water on that trip than ever before…..soooo good!
HA. I love the pineapple water! That’s actually a really good idea!
I jut could NOT get into the Siggi’s… It had such an odd taste to me! But I feel like I see so much about it I should give it another shot.
Cool combo… Pineapple and chocolate sunflower seeds.
