Hey guys :) How are you? Thank you so much for your amazing comments about the new inspiration board- I’m really excited to see what this year will bring <3

I just got back from an asana-kicking Bikram class. I ended up skipping spin this morning and figured I’d take yoga since I haven’t practiced Bikram in about a month. Man, oh man, did I feel it. The instructor wasn’t very friendly and I can definitely see why it’s easy to be intimidated by Bikram. Word to the wise: try different instructors—some of them are actually very nice. (Like Rob in Jacksonville, FL)

Some recent eats:

snack

Goat’s milk yogurt with Sun Warrior mixed in, organic bluerries, a blob of almond butter, cinnamon and a crumbled brown rice cake

Take-out from Eclectic Cafe- tostadas with veg refried beans, avocado, salsa, and goodies (I asked for no cheese but got a little sprinkle anyway)

take out

Blackberries galore:

An entire thing from Trader Joes. If my skin turns purple, ya’ll know what happened ;)

This afternoon, I was inspired by my new Canyon Ranch cookbook to make some flatbread dough.

I figured I’d make it, split it into portion sizes, and freeze in case the roomies or I wanted a flatbread.

The recipe kinda got eye-balled, and I used brown rice flour and gluten-free oat flour (ground up in the Vita-mix). Despite my lack of measuring, the dough turned out lovely.

We’ll see if it’s still lovely when I try to bake some right now ;)

I’m off to make some dinner, but I’ll see ya in the morning!

Have a great night,

Something to talk about: What are your thoughts on TVs in the bedroom? The Pilot and I have always banned TVs from our room (the guest room, living room and office each have one), because the bedroom is for sleeping, relaxation and.. other stuff ;) For the first time in 4 years, since I’m living with roomies, I have a TV in my room! It’s been nice to fall asleep to Chelsea Handler’s voice :D So what do you think? TVs ok in the bedroom, or banned?

Hey guys! How’s your morning going? <3

I started mine off with a dip into the almond butter jar and a Bikram yoga class.

Bikram was tough stuff this morning. It’s been a few weeks since I’d practiced and my body definitely let me know. My back is going to be a little sore, but it felt soooooo good to sweat out some toxins and get some juicy stretches in :)

Bonus: the power went out halfway through class. Seksi yoga. Haha

When I came back to the casa, I tried something new for breakfast:

millet (2)

MILLET!

I love millet bread and I’ve had cooked savory millet before, but have never tried it in lieu of oats.

The texture was a little grainy and fun – I liked it :)

Work is a little earlier today (since I get out earlier!), so I packed up a quickie lunch courtesy of my personal chef.

Amy’s Mac n’ Cheese with Daiya cheese

lunch

+ Salad with grape tomatoes, bell pepper, cucumber, carrots and Garlic Gold

I’ll just heat the mac n’ cheese, plop it onto the salad and feast away :)

I’m out, but I hope you have a wonderful day! See ya later with a Reader’s Request post <3

Hi ho, hi ho…..
