Pizza And The Biebs

Thanks for the great feedback on yesterday’s yoga post. And thanks again to Brittany for the inspiration. 🙂 I really enjoy writing posts that aren’t so “this is what I ate, this is the workout I did today” so it was a fun one for me!

Now, back to “this is what I ate.” Ha.

I was in the mood for a roasted veggie dinner last night. These dinners are so easy because I heat the oven to 400 degrees and then throw whatever I have onto baking sheets, season it like I want and then let it do its thing. I roasted tofu, sweet potatoes, zucchini and mushrooms.

I am in a major breakfast rut. Usually I am happy with oatmeal, overnight oats or Greek yogurt with granola and fruit but lately those options haven’t been appealing. I had oatmeal Monday for the first time in weeks and choked it down. This morning was fruit, granola and greek yogurt and it was just “eh.” Maybe it’s time to venture into new territory and try smoothies or eggs instead.

Lunch, on the other hand, was very appetizing. I made a salad featuring last night’s roasted dinner. Spinach, spring mix, tofu, sweet potatoes, zucchini, tomatoes, carrots, toasted walnuts, apples, dried cranberries and goat cheese. I have been out of goat cheese for a couple of weeks and it tasted so good on my salad. I love the goat cheese/sweet potato combo.

I love pizza. I made homemade pizza on Sunday night and thought about having leftovers for dinner all afternoon. Whole wheat crust with tomato sauce, mushrooms, smoked sun dried tomatoes, artichokes and pancetta with Italian blend shredded cheese. I usually do salad with pizza for my veggie but I wasn’t really feeling it since I had salad for lunch. I decided on green beans instead. Random but good!

Topic switch. In general, I would say that I have a pretty decent taste in music. I lean towards indie rock/folk/bluegrass kind of stuff. Well, teaching yoga has exposed me to the glorious world of dance/pop music and now I’ve found myself a little in love with…

Yes, the Biebs. In all of his mini-JT glory. I have to admit that I like his new album. I am now playing a rotation of three of his songs in my classes. Who am I? 🙂

Night, y’all!

Breakfast + What I Bought at Trader Joe’s

Breakfast + What I Bought at Trader Joe’s

I am such a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast. 95% of the time I’m craving a breakfast that is on the sweet side. That mostly alternates between smoothies or yogurt bowls with overnight oats, chia pudding or oatmeal occasionally thrown in there. On the rare occasion I go savory – it’s scrambled [...]

Life Lately: Summer So Far

Life Lately: Summer So Far

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]

Life Lately: 8 Years Old, A New Piercing, Trail Training and More

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]
