It's the little things...

Hello Friends!

I always say that it's the little things in life that excite me the most.  Right now, I'm loving that my favourite 'veggie meat' has new varieties!  Yippee!!!




I love Gardein because they use minimal soy product and lots of veggies!!  The Chipotle Lime Crispy Fingers are delicious...spicy with a crispy crust.  I cooked them, cut them and put them on a salad.  These would also make a great 'chicken burger' alternative...guacamole, salsa...mmmmm!
I haven't tried the Beefless Burgers yet...but knowing Gardein they will be tasty!!!  Can't wait for a BBQ this weekend.

Here's something else I found...



Polenta has intrigued me for a while now.  This looked good, but I don't know what to do with it.  I've read recipes but I'm looking for something tried and true.  Anyone??

Also today, I have a message for the Quail that seem to be drunk on berries right now.




 It doesn't matter what road I'm driving on, these little beasts are there...darting in and out of traffic.   So to my fine feathered friends I say this..."I have taken a vow not to eat you...so please stop hurling yourselves in front of my car!"

Finally, I leave you with an image of my own  'birdie baby'...he loves basking in the sun in the kitchen window.  Here's Archie...on one leg in Tree Pose doing his morning sun salutations! 


Melts my heart!!
Love and light to you all on this beautiful Thursday!

LASER UPDATE

Hello Friends. Just checking in after what's been a long break from the blog!  I wanted to update you as I continue my laser treatments at Advantage Body Clinic. A bit of history ~ I have stretch marks from two pregnancies.  I had a tummy tuck six years ago to get rid of sagging skin and repair a separated abdominal muscle.  The surgery was wonderful, no more sagging skin, but it didn't get rid of the stretch marks. For the last half year (or so) I've been undergoing treatments at Advantage.  Using 'Fractional Laser' technology, Kathryn and Karen are adamant I will be stretch mark free when this process is complete.  I have had six treatments, I have noticed much improvement in the appearance of my stretch marks, but they aren't gone.  It seems my surgery, which stretched the skin, impacts the laser treatments.  It doesn't mean it won't work, it will just take longer. Again, one of the great perks of these treatments, which promote collagen pr...

New Life, New Job, Same Goals

Hi Friends! It's been a while.  I lost my blogging mo-jo a few years back just before everything in my life changed.  I've been through a time of extreme reflection, growth and change.  I left my marriage in 2017, started an amazing new job at Kelowna's NEW 103.1 Beach Radio in the spring of 2018 and somewhere in there found the love of my life. This period of adjustment has been at it's core, a shift to happiness.   Ensuring my daughters are happy and secure in the new arrangement has been of paramount importance.   This transition has been so worth while but as with any new journey some of the old, familiar things fall by the wayside.   If you follow me on social media or if you read this blog when it was active (2011-2014), you know that healthy eating and exercise have always been part of my daily life. Through my 20's and 30's, I was up and out of bed at the crack of dawn running, riding or doing some form of exercise.  I...

Hello Friends. For as long as I can remember I have dreamed about being thin.  Life would be better, I would be prettier, people would like me more...if I was thin. Recently, I came across a picture of me that was taken 15 years ago...I was not thin...in fact the person staring back at me was 30 pounds heavier and almost unrecognizable.  It made me cry...not just tears, but sobs.  How could anyone have liked me...let alone love me?  Once I re-gained control of myself, I felt depressed, sad for the girl in that picture...but as I flipped through all of the photos (a trip to NYC with Curtis before we were engaged) I started remembering the places we'd visited, the laughs we'd shared and the memories made.  Wait, life WAS good then...I was just too obsessed with my weight to notice. Fast forward to the present and I now realize how much time I wasted 'vying' to be thin.  How much of our lives drift by while we're trying to be something else?  N...
