Hey guys! How’s your day been?
I have been a CLEANING MACHINE– lurve a sparkly casa 🙂
The puppers watched idly as I swiffered and dusted.
(Haha see Viesa’s fried chicken basket toy?? She loves that thing)
I also busted out the chef’s knives to get the rest of the prep work done for tonight,
which makes me reminiscent of these days…
minus all of the times I cut myself chopping things at 105degrees 😉
Here’s a pic of the raw calamari before breading it and putting it into the dehydrator to crispify.
It’s mushrooms!!! (MUSHROOM! MUSHROOM!)
Not raw fish… I don’t think I could roll like that. Or even find a non-sushi fish in Valdosta that I would be comfortable eating raw 😉
Some random eats:
Juice action:
Almond butter + jelly (1/2 a piece came off when I was chiseling off a piece of frozen millet. It was destiny)
Salad beast:
This morning’s yoga practice started this day off on such a *good* note- I’ve felt extra mellow all day. Why haven’t I had yoga in my life recently?? No idea, but it’s back now 🙂
Time to shower my stinky face and get dressed.
See ya with a girls night re-cap 😀
xoxo,
Gina
Something to do: Last chance to hit up the Garlic Gold Sale! You get 8 shakers for $21 (4 different flavors) – it ends tonight. Thank you so much to those of you who have gotten in on the garlicky action <3
Something else to do: Please leave a comment with your blog address if you’d like. (edited to say: omit the “www” if ya can, it will keep your comment from going into the spam folder. For example, fitnessista.com instead of www.fitnessista.com) I deleted my blogroll -it was cluttering the side of my blog and I want to increase it- and will be creating a new blogroll on its own page. I won’t be able to add all of the URLs that you guys post (there are so many blogs out there!) but I would love reminders of my favorites and can’t wait to check out some new ones.
I am so excited to check out all of the blogs your readers posted. Maybe by posting mine I will get better at updating it!

My blog would not be considered a health-living blog, but it’s a fun one if you like 90s tv sitcoms!

I have the day off tomorrow (I actually have the next 60+ days off!) and was wondering what to do as it’s to rain here. Now I know I’ll clean my flat until it’s sparkling! Thanks for the inspiration 🙂

Hi Gina!
Can I ask what brand of chef’s knives you use? I’ll be heading to holistic culinary school in the fall and will need to buy some GOOD ones, like Wusthof. Wondered which brand you chose and if you’d buy the same ones again. Thanks!
My blog is http://fitfeat.com/blog — I’d be CRAZY honored to be a part of your blogroll.
Saw the strawberry tart in your TwitPic – mmmm looks sOOOO good!
i use korin, and love them 🙂
Thanks for the info! I’ll check that brand out!
I love your salad beasts. They inspire me to make my own absurdly large leafy creations!
I just started my blog a month ago, and I’m loving it! Yay for food blogs and the fabulous food blog community! 🙂

Dehydrated mushrooms as calamari?! Sounds very interesting! Can’t wait to see how it comes out – hope you take pics 🙂
Totally random but – do you happen to live in an Avalon Community?!
My blog is beforesunriseblog.com 🙂 Come check it out!
I have to comment; Bella is soooo cute! She has the best expressions- they’re subtle but hilarious!
I love cleaning too- I feel bad that people think its a chore. It actually helps me clear my mind while feeling productive.
Thanks for your happy blog!
Badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger… 😉
MUSHROOM! MUSHROOM!
snaaaaake, it’s a snaaaaake
A clean house ALWAYS makes me feel less stressed. My fiance can feel the stress bubble start to build and he frantically tries to do some random straightening up before it bursts. He’s so nice.
I just started my own blog, inspired by all the amazing bloggers out there.

Your puppies are so cute! I have a bischon too, but she never looks that well-groomed. My blog is bitesnpieces.com. Your new blogroll could not have come at a better time, I just went through a big blog makeover! I would love for you to take a peek. 🙂
I’m so excited to see how the raw calamari turns out! When you first said raw calamari, I thought you meant raw fish! I’m really excited about the mushrooms!
My blog address is fuelherup.blogspot.c o m
your casa definitely is sparkling…love it!

When you said “raw calamari” the other day when you listed your menu I totally did a “mehhhh” double take. These mushrooms look so much more my style. 😉

I love your clean clean house! That’s totally on my agenda tonight – time to clear my head.
That garlic gold sale is amazing! Thanks!

I wish I had the motivation to clean my house like that! But this couch is just so comfy. 😉

Ok, I have such confidence in your cooking skills that I didn’t even bat an eye when you said you were making raw calamari for tonight. Now that I see they are actually mushrooms, it all makes a bit more sense 🙂
I have had a blog for, oh, 3 days now. Way to jump on the bandwagon, eh? I mix the traditional food blogging with ideas about frugality and simplicity. Check it out! http://www.frugalnfit.wordpress.com.
Oops, I included the www! Drat.
haha it still went through, which is bueno 🙂
i’ve been reading your blog for a few months and LOVE it! and when i found goat cheese at one of the on-campus markets i thought i had died & gone to heaven…it’s not raw but i’ve started a serious love affair with it!
i’m at greeneyedrunner.blogspot.com
but i’m a new blogger so i wouldn’t be offended if i wasn’t on your blogroll.
i’m new to the “good for you” bread crowd, and i was wondering how you decide what bread to eat. i’m really a fan of trader joe’s sprouted bread (just tried it this wk), but was curious if other breads are better–either taste or health 🙂 any insight would be appreciated!
babsbegins.blogspot.com
tj’s sprouted bread is a great choice! their brown rice bread, quinoa bread and the ezekiel brand products are a good way to go, too
Um, can I just say that your house is GORGEOUS? Those photos make me so excited to have a casa of my own…!
http://www.girlmeetshealth.com 😀
Ooh, I would LOVE to see the finished produce of those calamari… that’s awesome (although I confess that I loooove actual calamari) 😀
I think your blog has single-handedly made me add a dehydrator to my frivolous purchases if I ever have enough money list. 🙂

Your puppers are so darn cute, I want a fluffball like Bella! 😀

your house is so pretty! I would kill for that kitchen. Ours is like the size of a closet! 🙂
branappetit.wordpress.com
I can’t wait to see how that raw calamari turns out! I was wondering what it would be when I saw the menu plan earlier 🙂
I am curious how often you do a deep clean, we keep it surface clean but hate doing the deep clean.
Blog address-
afitandspicylife.com
i do a deep clean once a week, and the surface clean stuff every day. i hate it too, but it feels so good afterwards
Love that kitchen–I adore my apartment but wish we had better appliances. traveleatrepeat.com

Doesn’t seem like my post took. Oh well.
So could one of you people who likes to clean please come clean my apartment. It’s small yet I still can’t make myself do it. I’ve been putting it off all week. Ugh.
I’m new to blogging but love doing it, even if no one is reading it. 🙂
