Sauna spin class

Hey hey hey Hope you’ve all had a great day! So glad you’re liking the vacay re-caps so far—I’ll post the final one tomorrow. I’m still in vacation mode!! It feels like I’m moving in slooooooooow motion compared to the super-speed New York pace, and calling coming back “depressing” is a little bit of an understatement. I just want to walk around, shop and drink bloody marys but alas, here I am in Southern Georgia.

Good thing I got this in the mail:

A card from the fabulous Gliding Calm!!! Aren’t the puppies cute? And the words inside were so sweet and made my day a million times brighter. Thank you so much, Em

For lunch, I made something DEEEEELICIOUS:

Fal-awesome wraps!!!!

The star of the show was a Sunshine falafel burger:

Here’s the ingredient list for those who are interested:

Organic cooked brown rice, organic ground raw sunflower seeds, organic chick peas, organic split peas, organic tahini, organic sesame seed paste, organic parsley, organic sumin powder. organic garlic and sea salt

Not too shabby, ehhhh??

As soon as I heated the burger up, it smelled ahhhhhmazing. I love falafel and thought it was so sweet that Sunshine made a burger based off this delicious food. I just don’t think they can have the word “awful” in them, hence the “fal-awesome”

For my meal, I made a yogurt dill sauce

-1/4 cup plain nonfat organic goat milk yogurt

-1 ts cumin

-1/2 tb each of coriander and chili powder

-sprinkle of garlic powder and sea salt

-palm full of fresh dill from our little garden

-juice from 1/2 lemon

Next, I split two giant collard leaves in half and removed the ribs and topped each collard halve with 1/4 falafel burger, 1/8 yellow bell pepper, and 1/4 of the yogurt mixture

All rolled up:

This was INCREDIBLE. If you have access to Sunshine products, definitely pick up some of these falafel burgers- I’m thinking you’ll love them. Let me know if you give the recipe a try!

I taught a sweaty, sweaty spin class tonight. The AC in the gym was BROKEN and of course, all of the people that came were taking their first class ever. I felt so bad for them- hopefully the sauna class didn’t scare them away.

The pilot’s flying late tonight, so I’ve got a date with the Griffins, your blogs, and a book

See ya tomorrow!!
