Greetings folks!
Zesty the Design Wizard helped me create a new Blogroll link this afternoon!!! It’s on the sidebar (scroll down!) ———–>
Thanks Zest!
I went on a stellar run this afternoon. About 6 miles. I don’t even remember a few of them I was so deep in my thoughts! Playlist highlights:
- All That Jazz, from the musical
- Freebird (the long version)
- Canon in D for Three Trumpets
- Life Is Good, Kenny Chesney
- The Star Spangled Banner, Morman Tabernacle Choir (REALLY fun to run to!)
Dinner tonight was so delicious!! And very filling. And full of my very favorite foods. I really think if I had to pick a very, very favorite food, sweet potato would win. Possibly over oats…
Unfortunately the recipe came from this cookbook, which was a gift from blog reader and friend Gena. I don’t use cookbooks often, but this is a good one to thumb through. She cooks in a similar style as we do – throw together your favorite foods in unsuspecting combinations with spices, nuts and fruit.
But I think I can tell you what went in it:
- 2/3 packet of three-grain tempeh (which I LOVE and forget to buy. It’s got a wonderful texture. In fact, I think what I love most about tofu and tempeh are their textures – just what people are afraid of!)
- Tamari (soy sauce)
- 1 large sweet potato, cooked in microwave
- Tons of kale
- Can diced tomatoes
- Red curry paste
- Yellow curry powder
- Almonds for garnish
It was really a very simple recipe, and the individual foods taste so good by themselves that this would have been good plain!
The husband and I ended with some good conversation (hearts!)
I’m off to watch The Office and then who knows? More research (nah…), more Office, reading in bed?
BIG annoucement in the morning!!!!
Sharon says
Oh yes to sweet potatoes! =D

sweet potato in anything makes it great!!
did you see the new kashi tlc crackers? toasted asiago, i’m excited to try them out
Lauren says
Oh my I LOVE sweet potato. Its funny I used to hate them when I was little, but now I cannot get enough. They are so versatile.
Lauren says
Oh I’ve tried the kashi asiago crackers. They are pretty good. They remind me more of white cheddar than asiago. But they are worth trying! They are thinner than the regular though.
Heather McD (Heather Eats Almond Butter) says
Love Zesty. Love Tempeh. Love The Office. 🙂
Andrea says
Thanks for the playlist highlights! I was asking for everyone to submit fav running songs to my blog as I am working on the ultimate playlist for my upcoming Ragnar Relay. www.ragnarrelay.com
I will definately have to try the Star-Spangled Banner?!?
Andrea [bella eats] says
Your dinner looks delicious…most of my favorite ingredients made it in the bowl too! Except maybe tempeh…I’m just not sold yet. I need to give it another whirl…

Your dinner looks divine! Sweet potatoes are definitely at the top of my list too. Looking forward to your announcement.
Melissa says
Was there ever a day you didn’t like running? I am just starting and hate it and am wondering if I’ll ever be able to make it even a mile… : ( How fast do you run?
seelee live (for the love of peanut butter) says
i cant wait for the announcement!!! 🙂
seelee live (for the love of peanut butter) says
(woops, submitted too soon!!) anyways, i have never tried tempeh–it looks like it has sort of a grain-y texture? is it similar in taste to tofu?
SP ROCKS!!
SH says
As is everyone else… looking forward to your announcement!!
Beadie @ What I Ate Yesterday says
The blogroll pic isn’t working for me 🙁
Hoooray for announcements!
Lauren says
Sweet potatoes definitely top my list of fave foods too 🙂
Kath says
Sarah (lovINmytummy),
Love it!!
Leanne,
I’m a HUUUGE fan of Annie. I have some of those on my iPod as well!
Joy ,
ooo! I haven’t seen those yet!
Melissa ,
I’m not a fast runner (although I’ve improved with practice) but I have always enjoyed it. Being outside and all.
seelee live (for the love of peanut butter),
It doesn’t really taste like tofu – more like compacted grains since this one was 3-grain. You just have to try it!

Hallie says
Kath, may I ask you a blog question? How do you decide which bloggers you choose to add to your blog roll?
I’m a new blogger and I’m trying to make it the best I can. I’d be interested in hearing about what you think makes a “roll worthy” blog.
Thanks 🙂
Kath says
Hallie ,
I left you a comment on Healthy Twists 🙂

Ika says
where I come from, we eat tofu and tempeh in meals and for snack..they’re like the national food :p at first it puzzles me to know that there are people who categorize them as ‘healthy’ food and are ‘afraid’ to eat them..but I know better now 🙂
