Hi guys How are ya? So glad you guys liked the Dance Trance video- it was SO much fun

Hope you’ve had a fun Halloween so far!

Muahaha.

I’m dressed as a sleep-deprived Zombie- I was up all night with a sick Bella :/ Yoga was skipped today in case an emergency vet visit needed to be had, but it looks like she’s on the mend after a meal of chicken and rice *knock on wood*

Some of today’s eats:

B-nut squash soup

Snack plate:

(+ 482 more chips.. Garden of Eatin Red Hot: rocks my face off)

and the foodie star of the day:

Stuffed butternut squash and greens

The butternut stuffing was based on my favorite lasagna and was a mix of:

-butternut squash + sweet potato

-quinoa

-onion

-wilted arugula

-sundried tomatoes

-goat cheese

and seasonings

It’s an easy recipe but has a few steps- I’ll sure to post the full thing for ya sometime within the next day or so

I’m off to snuggle on the couch and finish reading Good To Great before calling it a night.

Have a lovely evening and I’ll see you in the morning!

xoxo,

Gina

Something to talk about: What’s your fave Halloween movie? Do you like creepy movies? I’m a big chicken when it comes to scary movies but as far as Halloween movies go, Hocus Pocus is pretty awesome

Hey guys! HAPPY HALLOWEEN Hope you’re having a great morning <3

I spent my night last night doing this:

(actual footage from the party- I’m in the plaid skirt)

The had a lil party at Dance Trance it was pretty much amazeballs

Katy, Jess and I booty-shook the night away:

(I came straight from work so I didn’t have a costume)

Check out Katy’s AWESOME shirt:

Action shots:

They also had an incredible array of snacks and drinks :

Hummus/dips + veg, Katy’s vegan pumpkin whoopie pies

Cupcakes, cheese tray, chips, snackies, joy

(I munched a lot of veggies and ate an Amy’s black-eyed peas and brown rice when I got home)

They played music the whole time and everyone danced and chatted, and then when a DT song came on, we’d all do the dance. Crazy fun

This morning, I had pancakes on the brain:

Made with:

-gluten-free baking mix

-almond milk

-baking powder and baking soda

-flax egg

-sea salt, stevia, vanilla

Topped with a *glaze* of Sun Warrior and almond milk + cacao nibs

I’d share the recipe but:

-I didn’t measure anything

-They were kinda chewy- not like my *perfect pancakes*

You win some, you lose some

Well I’m off to grocery shop and make one more stop for black boots…

Hope you have a very happy and safe Halloween!

xoxo,

Gina

Random Thoughts

October 27, 2010

Sometimes carbs make me feel way better than veggies do…. Ok, a lot of the time. I don’t love Jillian Michaels. A lot of people adore JM, and she motivates a ton of people, but I think her workouts set people up to plateau and there’s the weight loss supplement junk…. Dinosaurs scare me. Source [...]
