Yar She Blows

Hold on to your hats – Virginia is about to blow away!!

I spent my morning reading in bed. Resistance is great – and I don’t even like wartime books! It’s detailed, swiftly moving and suspenseful – just what I like in a good book.

Salad26Blog

You’d think a lazy morning at home would be the perfect day, but it actually leaves me feeling rather blah. I keep waiting for my body to feel sick or hungover, since that’s usually how I feel when I’m still in my pajamas at lunchtime and haven’t done a thing!

Salad-7Blog

I did eat this killer salad though.

Featuring:

  • Romaine
  • Arugula
  • Olive oil, lavender salt, honey
  • Spiced pecans
  • An egg
  • Blue D’Auvergne 
  • Tomatoes, green peppers, carrot, celery
  • Hummus

Those spiced pecans were made by Matt last night for our event tonight. They are modeled after a Great Harvest recipe, so unfortunately I can’t share it, but I’ll let you know that this recipe is pretty darn similar!

I think I ate half a jar! So addicting!

After lunch Pero with a House Hunters.

    Ha ha, I’m so addicted to House Hunters! For some reason I find it incredibly relaxing, especially the international ones where they’re moving to Belize or something. Anyway, your salad looks amazing.

    You make salads look so fabulous!

    Once again, I will have to get some lavender salt.

    By the way, since you always say how you eat dates, and how they tie you over for a while until your next meal, I just happened to find some organic ones today and bought them. I am excited to see how they make me feel.

    My day has been pretty much the same, minus that delicious looking salad! I love House Hunters! I like hearing all of the differences in peoples opinions of space, such as the yard or kitchen. It’s really interesting to me! Plus, watching the International one, it’s so neat to see all the different places.

    For the last few months, after seeing it here, I’ve been putting olive oil and honey on my salads, and it’s my absolute favorite. Now I just need to find some (or make some) lavendar salt too!

    Sounds like a nice, lazy kind of Saturday.

    Spiced nuts are soooo good. And so addicting. Over the holidays in the malls when you smell spiced nuts roasting, they are like a beckon, calling me over!

    I have a question on fueling before a workout. I have seen that you have used dates before a workout. I typically out first thing in the morning 5AM and have a hard time eating before I go. Do you have any suggestions on what I could do for fueling or do you think a date would be sufficient?

    Thank you!Heather

      If you’re getting up and going right away, something small and easily digested would work well. A date or two sounds perfect to me, but that also depends on how much you’re doing. Another option is a sports drink if it’s a longer workout and you have a light stomach

    The egg would be hard enough for me to make; the rest of the salad combination looks like too much to handle! I love that hummus is part of the salad, though, rather than a side.
