No Dough Left Behind

Hi friends Smile How are you? Hope youโ€™re having a great day so far <3 I lovedloved reading your manifesto quotes and tips.

So did Bella Winking smile

Things with the 30 day detox have become much easier, especially after the allotted coconut ice cream:

(while I didnโ€™t finish the entire thing, I can assure you that no cookie dough ball was left behind)

and the full-fledged reintroduction of FISH.

That salad was absolutely amazing. It started with a snafu this morning when I made a simple salad and grabbed a can of soup to go with. The only soup in the house had potatoes and corn (not part of the plan until the 30 days are over), so I just brought a plain salad and a smoothie to work and figured Iโ€™d grab something else on my lunch break.

One of my work friends suggested stopping at Blue Willow, an INCREDIBLE veg-friendly place to get something more exciting to add to my salad.

I transformed it into a legit salad beast by adding blackened salmon and roasted veggies– perfection Smile

Some other recent eats:

juice

+ Perfect Protein Pancakes (made with quinoa flour and topped with raw honey)

Iโ€™m heading back to work, teaching tonight and then meeting friends for dinner!

See ya in the morning <3

Something to talk about: What color do you wear the most? As you can prob guess, pink is #1 but I also wear a lot of grey Smile

    wow!! does your brother want to do a guest post on cake making for us?! he should apply to be on “top chef!”
    i either wear all black (so easy to pull an outfit together) or a bohemian look – bright colour.
    happy weekend, gina!

    That cake is beautiful! He is obviously in the right career!
    My colour choices for clothes are determined by the season… in the winter I wear grey, black and brown and as soon as the sun comes back I am in pink, light blue and white. Can you tell which season makes me happy?

    Wow that cake looks so perfect! He’s got some skills!

    I wear a lot of grey and black, especially in the winter. I can’t wait to pull out my colourful spring wardrobe. ๐Ÿ˜€

    Cookie dough blizzards have always been my fav from DQ, but I am sure that Coconut Milk version is a bit healthier for me ๐Ÿ˜‰ And that cake looks amazing!!!!!

    Mmm, that blackened salmon salad looks delish! I wear a lot of black and grey, but I always wear funky bright scarves to mix it up!

    I wear a lot of black, even in the summer.

  8. Jeana on February 5, 2011 at 9:57 am

    Wow, your little bro is pretty legit on cake baking! My favorite color to wear would be yellow, unfortuntly.. I can’t wear it. ๐Ÿ™ I wear royal purples and dark fushia instead!

  9. Kathie @ Frugal Fit and Fabulous on February 5, 2011 at 10:03 am

    He did a GREAT job on that cake!

    Mmmm coconut ice cream?! *drool* I must try this stuff.

    i tend to wear a lot of black or navy blue. when it’s not those colors, it’s usually purple. HA! But yeah, i tend to gravitate towards black and navy.

  10. Lauren on February 5, 2011 at 10:04 am

    That cake looks AMAZING! Glad to hear that the detox is going easier for you. Detox’s aren’t much fun.

  15. Kimberly on February 5, 2011 at 3:28 pm

    Yuurrrrrrrm! Your bro’s cake looks scru-diddaly-umptious! ๐Ÿ™‚

    I like to wear all sorts of colors. Some days I feel like sporting a bright-bubbly number, but most days I go for a casual gray, black, light pink or white or some casual stripey action. I really like some of the outfits you gave a sneak peak of the other day– super cute choices!

    Have a good day!

  16. Tracey on February 5, 2011 at 3:57 pm

    I’m always wearing black as my main outfit but I do accessorize with colors. My favorite color to accessorize with is red!

  17. Shannon S. on February 5, 2011 at 4:08 pm

    I wear a lot of black, gray, and brown layered over prints, purple, or green. I am definitely a sweater girl – makes it easy to stretch out my wardrobe when I layer different colored sweaters over different outfits. ๐Ÿ™‚

  18. Kara on February 5, 2011 at 4:28 pm

    Can you do a giveaway with that cake? Or just the frosting? I’m good with just a container full that frosting. And a spoon. Or just my finger. But dear lord, I need that frosting. ๐Ÿ™‚

  19. Kate on February 7, 2011 at 12:39 pm

    The cake is beautiful and so is that salad beast! A blackened fish salad sounds delish!

    I wear a lot of grey too…and a lot of black. I love the vintagey look: lots of subdued colors and such but I just can’t pull it off!
