All Things That Are Good
Hey everyone! Happy Sunday! Hope you’re having a relaxing day 😀 We have dubbed today winter cleaning 2009- so the pilot and I are going to do some mayjah reorganization up in herrrre. Who’s stoked?!? Me! ME! The pilot? Not so much 😉
Yesterday was pretty much glorious… it was filled with all things that are good
New food creations
Egg whites scrambled with a serving of salmon bites, cayenne, sea salt and wilted spinach
And a new bready love, MILLET BREAD (so dense, so chewy) topped with Earth Balance, cinnamon and maca – I had two pieces because it was just so good 😀
Surprises from bloggy friends
By a stroke of almond butter magic, I won this homemade chipotle almond butter from Heaby last week.
Needless to say, I was salivating while I opened it…
she wrapped it up so cute, too!
Thank you Heaby!!! Love you <3
Guess we all know what I’m having for bfast today 😉
CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!
Vegan, and GINGER INFUSED dark chocolate. In other words, a one-way ticket to foodgasm city 😀
INDIAN FOOD!!!!
I finally got my Indian food fix!
(pictures were taken via crackberry—I forgot my camera at home!)
I was craving lentils, so I rolled with this spicy Dal dish
The obligatory roti, for dipping and scooping purposes 😉
Bite o’ tandoori salmon
Movies, Bizzle and Targizzle
We went and saw Brothers with Jeni and her pilot after our Indian feast. Word to the wise: wait until it comes out on DVD, if you watch it at all. It was AWKWARD and uncomfortable— a little on the painful side to watch. And being a military wife, some parts messed with me a little. I give it two almond butter covered thumbs down.
After the disaster of a movie, we all went to Targizzle to buy random things look around. Next, Bizzle…
No pic (taking a pic with a crackerry and a drink in hand is difficult!), but I had a short soy hot chocolate. You guys know I’m not a huge soy fan, but I will drink soy over cow’s milk –Bizzle, get some almond milk!!!- and it was pretty tasty wasty 😉
The only thing missing from my day of goodness?
Exercise!
Yup, I took a day off yesterday. It felt so good and today I’m refreshed and ready to take Jackie O on a test run.
Yes, I named the new iPizzle Jackie O. She’s sleek and classy like her namesake 😀
Off to clean, with a yoga and running break somewhere in there! Also need to catch up on my mountain of emails. If I haven’t gotten back to you yet, I haven’t forgotten about you—just making sure I give every email the attention it deserves 🙂
See ya tonight!
xoxo,
Gina

Brothers looked so good! Why was it awkward??
Looks like you had a great day… good food, gifts and a day of rest!
i’m not sure if it was the writing but it was awkward to watch… as in, not believable and weird pauses all over the place
what a great name! oddly enough, my bff and i did a school project on jackie o waaaayyy back in middle school, and throughout the rest of our lives, we were obsessed! yea, probably annoying to others, and maybe a bit odd, but the woman had it GOIN ON. lol, the fact you named your ipod that gave me a smile this morning, remember how ridic we were…in a good way 🙂
I was so excited to see brothers…so sad to know it wasn’t great. What about it was awkward?
I was randomly reading some old posts and I saw that you mentioned a foam roller. Would you please tell me more about this? How used? What are the benefits? Thank you. I just added your blog on my bookmark list.
foam rolling helps to loosen tight muscles and it excellent for athletes and runners. by using your own body weight, it gives the same benefits as a massage– i use it for my quads and it band

I LOVE me some Jake G but being a military wife with a husband who has PTSD, I can’t even watch the damn trailer for that movie; it messes with me badly. I won’t even be renting it!
yes, i wouldn’t recommend it to you at all. so sorry to hear about that… love and thanks to you and your husband for serving our country
Heather is the best!! 🙂
Foodtee sweatershirts and t-shirts = abundance of ’em in my closet.
i love those tees! I also name my ipods 🙂
hahaha i totally saw an ad for those tshirts the other day and love them the banana downward dog one is friggn hilarious.
that new ipiz looks gorgy girl! have fun with winter cleaning 🙂
Do you ever make your own salmon cakes? I do, using wild canned alaskan salmon from Whole Foods. Easy and tasty!
no but i’d love to!!! i’ll have to try that sometime 😀
Mmm, love the almond butter!
I’m with you on the almond milk – Starbucks, please see that there are other (better!) milk substitutes out there!
Thanks for the movie review. Now I can save my ticket money for more things that I don’t need from Target.
the baristas at my local starbies were talking about how they like almond milk sooo much more (they are really cool- they are the only starbucks that puts soy ON the bar; the others make you ask). anyway, they said almond milk was very costly…
too bad about that movie- i really wanted to see it.
Sundays are such catch up days! I am cleaning, baking, changing choreography, maybe going for a run or walk? Ah! Love your new iPod- super cute. I’m waiting for mine to cash out but will probably be getting a new one soon too. The winnings from HEAB look so good- I’m totally jealous 😉 Good luck with the cleaning.
Yes yes yes to the Starbucks request! I only ever get black or espresso there these days ~ so sad. I don’t eat dairy & have a soy allergy :/
happy cleaning day. We did the same 🙂
YUM… that Indian food looks AMAZING… so does all the food on this post… Can I come over for dinner?!?! hehe
Those t-shirts are adorable!!
Looking forward to the giveaway, and I have one on my blog too!! Peanut butter cups!! YUM! It ends Tuesday morning! 🙂
Have a great day,
Jessica
If Starbucks had almond milk, my wallet would be in serious trouble. They would probably charge double for it too.
I’m sorry the movie was awful! I just hate that. Maybe you should have seen New Moon again 🙂
Maybe you can bring your own milk? lol I don’t think that would fly at all, but you could try…..
I was looking forward to that movie, too. That’s a shame!
Love how you named your ipod Jackie O – so chic!
We’re also cleaning today, time to spruce up the apartment before the holidays!
I love cleaning days– I love getting my creative on! hehe
Last night we watched 4 Christmases, it was actually a cute, funny and lighthearted film! I’ll make sure to pass on Brothers.
Have a splendid sunday!
bec xo
i love four christmases! we bought it because we loved it so much 😀
Happy Cleaning!
Enjoy!
That chocolate looks awesome! I definitely don’t want to see Brothers, looks WAY too intense for me!
that almond butter looks great from HEAB! glad you got your indian fix 🙂

Hi! I’m a new reader of your blog..I think i saw it in FITNESS magazine. you are so funny! I look forward to reading your posts!! do you have any tips for a sugar-addict during the Holidays?? Thanks!
was it in fitness magazine?? i had no idea, haha 😀
as a former sugar addict, the thing that worked best for me was to make healthier versions of a few things (whole wheat flour, sucanat) for myself to snack on and then i’d have a few of the “special” treats you can only get once a year. if it comes out of a box, so not worth it! if it’s homemade, treat yourself.. it’s the holidays 😀
That AB sounds AMMMAAAZZINNNGG!!! Lucky you 🙂
Those t-shirts are so cute!
My ipod is named Poddie. Obviously I was not in a very creative mood when I named him.
My gosh, that roti looks good. So puffy. 🙂
Loving the EB, cinnamon, maca combo. Just ate pancakes. Should have used that topping combo.
Yay – so happy your chipotle AB arrived safe and sound. I was so scared it would leak. Enjoy!
Good to know about Brothers–i had been wanting to see it lately, but maybe not anymore! i mean, you gave it two ALMOND BUTTER thumbs down, after all! 😉
And yum. I’ve got to try maca! And i’ve got to try that earth balance, cinn & maca combo with toast sooooon!
Ahhh, I love cleaning, mostly because of the end result. There is nothing better than a clean house 🙂
I want to see that movie (I guess it’s a remake of a danish movie?)… sad to hear it wasn’t that great…
Love those tees!
yes, it’s a remake of a danish movie called brodre… and i was bummed that it wasn’t very good
Hope you have a good cleaning day! I need to get on that myself. mmm that Indian food looks wonderful. Do you use anything to keep the earphones from falling out of your ears? I need to find something because mine always fall out!
Those shirts are too cute!
when it’s cold, i wear a headband around my ears and it keeps them in. in the summer, they always fall out for me too as soon as i start sweating
I would spend so much more money at Starbucks if they got almond milk. I really wish they would!
Wooot for winning Heaby’s giveaway. Mmmm mm!!
Have a great day with Jackie O:)
HAHA I love those shirts!! I want the grapefruit one that says “juicy” hahaha.
Enjoy that almond butter…it sounds fantastic!
Pleeeease tell me where you found that millet bread! I have celiac disease and a lot of G-Free bread is BAD. I just did a little search while grocery shopping and no dice…thanks!!
i got it at the health food store and it’s the food for life brand -the peeps that make ezekiel. it’s AMAZING– you will love it
Oooh, yummy-looking Indian food!! After reading your blog for awhile, I decided to try Baigan Bharta a few weeks back – it was amazing, so thank you!
whoo hoo! i’m so glad you enjoyed it 😀
I love egg and salmon paired together–except I always have to top mine off with ketchup 🙂 Actually, a lot of things I eat need to be topped with ketchup haha!! And as far as that movie goes, it did look a bit too harsh for my liking. Glad your having a good weekend!
i love that you named your iPod you are too cute!
Love roti. The version I usually eat has a hearty curried meat stew to go with it. The stew could be anything from chicken to goat. It’s a simple way to experiment with Indian cuisine.
