Salt Kissed

With all the sweating I’ve been doing, no wonder salty sounded good today!

IMG_0423Blog

Body Pump was CROWDED! The most people ever – they even ran out of bars. I pumped hard, but it wasn’t the hardest day ever. The bike ride home was tough though!

For lunch I had to use up some broccoli on its last day and the strawberries I picked yesterday. I paired those with toast with bacon + egg + jam and some seaweed!!

Foodbuzz worked with Foodzie to send featured publishers a tasting box as part of Foodzie’s monthly taster box program.

IMG_0408Blog

Inside I found two flavored salts!! Salt (and smoked paprika) are the foods of 2011 : )

IMG_0409Blog

I put the Rosemary + Sage Herb sea salt all over my broccoli after sautéing in some olive oil – love!!! Everyone always asks about my lavender salt, which I got at the San Francisco Farmer’s Market. But herby salts are actually pretty easy to make if you just blend your favorites with sea salt in a food professor. I like my coarsely ground, so don’t blend too much! I have yet to make my own because I’ve had these good flavors on hand, but I will someday!

IMG_0419Blog

Also in the box – Seasnax!

IMG_0410Blog

I didn’t know what to think about these sheets of seaweed but the package said they were “strangely addictive.”

IMG_0415Blog

They were right!!! They melt in your mouth like those Listerine sheets and taste like the best sushi I’ve had. I ate ‘em all!

IMG_0416Blog

Slice of honey whole wheat with bacon + egg + Grandma Candy’s jam. I was just going to do the egg, but we have local bacon in the fridge so I added a slice at the last minute.

IMG_0417Blog

I love bacon because of its small portion. Had this been some huge slab of meat, I would have never wanted to cook it, but once slice of bacon is usually less than 50 calories and enhances a plate with so much flavor!

IMG_0421Blog

If you haven’t seen enough strawbs..

IMG_0420BlogIMG_0418Blog

Do you know how badly I wanted sparkling water today? Enough to venture in the basement for the first time since Saturday afternoon after seeing a HUGE camel cricket. A similar scenario to this time!

IMG_0424Blog

Happy munching – I’m off to the bakery on my bike. Time to sweat some more!

    Hi! I love your site and congrats on your new bakery! I am Korean and wanted to let you know those seaweed snacks are originally Korean.. they’re very good alone with steamed white/brown rice if you want something easy on your stomach… or if you want something a little more interesting, with stir-fried rice (with Kimchi, eggs & scallions).. hope you try it!

        Exactly! But Koreans have a little extra sesame oil & sea salt added for flavor 🙂 If you are feeling the need for quick comfort food, you can also add a touch of butter with a few droplets of soy sauce to the rice, and then eat the seaweed with it. I’m not sure if you have any Korean groceries in your area but we also have a korean spicy pepper paste that is also ultra-satisfying with all of this, hehe

    That’s what I call Holiday Exercise Mentality.

    People have the day off, they know they have been or plan to be, ahem, feasting well at the holiday parties so that run to the gym. When I used to teach yoga classes at gyms, Jan/New yrs resolutions and holidays were always sooo busy!

    Love me some foodzie tasting box! Those salts are amazing – I used the entire package of the rosemary flavor on pork chops the other night… wasn’t quite as much a fan of the sea snax though, which is odd because I love sushi and sashimi… but they were just a little too fishy-tasting for me.

    Despite spraying my house repeatedly, I’ve been fighting camel crickets for ages. Mine, however are not limited to my basement — if only…! I’ve found them on my nightstand and kitchen counter. Eek. I finally called the professionals the other day, after pulling out two mixing bowls from my counter and finding a dead one in one and a live one in the other. I figured paying exterminators and reaping the resultant environmental karma outweighs the cost and hassle of moving.

    First time commenter here, been lurking for a while but decided to finally say something (I think I’m avoiding studying for my upcoming finals…) Your meal looks delicious, as always. I’m very curious to try those seaweed snacks. And I LOVE sparkling water. It’s one of the things I miss most about home when I’m away at school.

    And I’m guessing you meant food processor, not food professor? 🙂

    I just happened to look at the nutrition facts for bacon (can’t believe I never have) and was shocked to see that a slice wasn’t really all that many calories. It does enhance a sandwich or plate so much. I’ve been using it a little more often now 🙂

              I have never heard of NIGELLA soil…sounds intriguing (as I am an avid gardener). Sounds like it is something that would taste great with a good Merlot? I am not comfortable posting my e-mail, but if you contact Kath I give my permission for her to share it with you if you want to correspond. It would be fun to have a pen pal on the other side of the world and share stuff.
