If Only

If only every day could be this pleasant – the weather, the to-do list, the foods. Might as well appreciate it while it’s here.

I pittered around this morning knowing that my long-term projects are not urgent. I’m sure I’ll regret that later – d’oh! I did do some blog work though, which I often put into the “wasted time” part of my brain, but it is really work for me since this blog is part of my career + income. So I’ll change my report: I did some work

:mrgreen: this !

I left for the gym around 11:30. I wanted to be outside, but my surgery-dissected foot can only handle so many miles per week before getting stiff (or at least I don’t want to push it) so I decided not to go running. My bike ride was awesome, and I discovered a new route that takes me through the neighborhoods longer and less bumpy sidewalks. I went inside (by a window!) for just 35 minutes on the elliptical to work up a sweat and then finished by walking a mile and a half on the track with Natural Health. I LOVE that magazine!!

I was just beginning to get hungry at 2pm. Don’t know if I’m still just not in a hungry way today or if that bran muffin was extra branny! Regardless, this was the best meal I’ve had all week! The most satisfying and flavorful.

I made this slaw from more of our leftover cabbage. (If you want to eat healthy for cheap, buy  a green cabbage! We’ve still got at least 2-3 cups left).

The slaw turned out awesome!! Worthy of a recipe page: Mustard Pecan BBQ Slaw.

Second on my plate was a leftover Coconut Maple Tofu + Pruney Pumpkin Butter Sandwich. Equally delish!!!

IMG_1628 (1024x768)

Some pickles…

IMG_1631 (1024x768)

Reading material. This book is gorgeous.

IMG_1637 (1024x768)

+ Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride tea from Sarah. I forgot how good that tea is!!

IMG_1627 (1024x768)

I picked out this pear to have as well but I was pretty full (and also feel like I’m not very hungry today!?) so I saved it to have in a bit if I want him. Strange that I chose to eat it out of hand and then it was easy to save it for later. Perhaps that’s a good lunch strategy to judge fullness.

IMG_1633 (1024x768)

I will get some stuff done now!! See y’all for dinner.

    I just noticed that you changed your placemats from breakfast to lunch – you really pay attention to the aesthetics of eating. 🙂 If we had more than 1 set I’d try it out too!

    Maybe I’ll try your slaw, it doesn’t look too gooey. I really dislike traditional gloopy coleslaw…but yours looks good.

    Whenever I walk to class while reading my notes before a test or something, I always think of you! Haha, is that odd?

    That lunch looks soooo pretty!

    Kath, I’m asking because I figure you’re the expert on this, but Google Reader isn’t showing my latest blogpost. Do you (or anyone) know how to fix that?

    I love your blog by the way! Can you explain the blogging for a job/career. I guess I just do not understand how someone makes an income from a blog. I know, I know, I guess I am behind the times a bit. Keep up the good work!

    Hey Kath- this is a bit off topic, but I was perusing the POM website today (inspired by your POM spritzers!) and they have a fabulous recipe section with great cocktail/mocktail recipes and I thought of you and the other blog readers! If you haven’t checked it out yet- it looks right up your alley!

    yum – great recipe. I just got some country bobs in the mail to try, so I will definitely have to try this recipe!

    Mustard-BBQ slaw sounds really good. Probably a much healthier alternative to the slaw that’s drenched in mayo.

    Sometimes I prepare everything I might want for a meal for the sake of photographing it, i.e. if you had sliced your pear, and then I’ll get full before I eat it all. What a dilemma. I guess its not that hard to go back to the fridge for that pear or whatever later 😉

    love cabbage! I have some in the fridge riiight now! I’ve been making a wacky creation of lentils + black beans on a bed of cabbage with balsamic vinegar. I don’t know what it is..but it hits the spot every time!

    Kailey (SnackFace),
    Reading and walking is easy, right!?

    Sorry, I don’t know much about Google Reader behind-the-scenes 🙁

    Jenner ,
    Blogs make money through ads, like the Foodbuzz sponsor ad on the right sidebar. They pay each time the page refreshes, so the more readers you have, the more you get. Few can call blogging a full-time job, but it pays the grocery bills for many 🙂

    Kori ,
    I’m planning on making POM cocktails for our party on Saturday!

    zestycook ,
    I don’t know if the recipes are really that original (meaning you can probably make them up yourself or find them online) but it’s a great coffee table book.
