Get Lost!

Heh. Another title I’ve been brewing up!

2012-01-29 14.58.16Blog

We did get lost today – in the woods! Lost mentally because of the beauty of a hike.

2012-01-29 14.52.52Blog

Matt and I actually went for a quick run this morning and then had a quick lunch before we left to meet our friends.

Cheddar cheese + Strawberry Jam with romaine on Dakota bread

Plus an extra juicy amazing tangelo!! Only con was the seeds.

IMG_5430Blog

Then we met up with a group of friends for a hike up the backwoods near the Monticello Trail. Faith led the way! I was thinking it would be more of a walk, but she led us up a mountain. No joke! I was gasping for air at the steepest parts. Note our elevation in the distance!

2012-01-29 15.01.45Blog

We climbed up a wooded path and partly up this gravel road to Carter’s Mountain

2012-01-29 14.55.55Blog

2012-01-29 15.02.58Blog

Our hike lasted just under 2 hours. By the time we got home, I was ready for a snack! This tasted SO GOOD!

Greek yogurt, blueberries, Nuts About Granola Mint Chocolate cookie – a fabulous granola coming to OpenSky Valentine’s Week – 3 flavors in one!

IMG_5434Blog

After our active mid-day, Matt and I crashed on the couch to start Season 2. My how things have changed so quickly! We are totally obsessed a la Portlandia.

For dinner we feasted on our leftovers that were planned for Friday.

IMG_5443Blog

A Fiesta Bowl for me. Always defined by Mexican flavors all in one bowl. Rice, pinto beans, spinach, tomatoes, salsa, cheese, greek yogurt.

IMG_5440Blog

Fiesta in my mouth

IMG_5436Blog

Matt had meatloaf with blue cheese, potatoes, and leftover Orzo pasta

IMG_5441Blog

IMG_5437Blog

We reached a good stopping point in Lost and are focusing on other forms of entertainment this evening. Although I admit, I wish I were still watching…

    I am embarrassed to admit that the Portlandia clip is eerily reminiscent of when my boyfriend and I watched The Wire. And Game of Thrones. Oy. We are those people!

    I love a good hike! Missed my walks this weekend as I had too much on the go on the homefront. Interesting combo of strawberry jam and cheese…I should try that more often! We had a clean out the freezer dinner tonight. Kids had spaghetti with meat sauce and hubbie and I enjoyed ratatouille with shrimp with enough left over for a lunch and a dinner…perfect! Warming up with a cup of mint tea…still cold from the hockey area!

    My boyfriend and I are opposite – we started with a Lost obsession and have just now discovered Portlandia. So funny! My favorite sketch so far has been the “put a bird on it!” bit.

    What a beautiful hike! I would have loved to get lost in an area like that- as long as I was with someone I’d be okay getting lost with! ……Finding a good stopping point in Lost is tough, there is always something you want to find out!

    i had been eating oikos but switched to chobani because it says it has no fructose in it. oikos has fructose but isnt fructose different from high fructose corn syrup? if so i would rather eat the oikos because i like the flavor better.

    oh okay i had been eating the vanilla oikos, would that make a difference? would you know if fructose is different then high fructose corn syrup?
    and i want to say thank you for your site:) you have been a blessing to me and my family you have changed our eating in ways that you cant even imagine. everytime you have something we have to try it. mostly your breakfast foods. we are all stuck on the cold oats:) yum! thank you so so much for all that you do, i never miss a day of reading what you have posted :]

      Yes, the vanilla is sweetened. Fructose is a simple sugar, but not the same as hfcs.

      Glad the blog has been helpful!

    The first picture is reminiscent of a wine country-type landscape. Gentle rolling hills, the rows of crops (grapes), the sunlight; for a second I thought you were going to say you jetted off somewhere this weekend to take that pic 🙂

    Ah, Portlandia! People outside of Portland think it’s funny because they assume everything in it is an exaggeration or caricature… but it really, really isn’t! That’s what makes it extra hilarious to those of us who get to live here!
