Well, I guess it’s really official!

I’m going self hosted! Yikes! What have I done? No idea honestly, but it should make things easier for everyone! I guess since I’m making this committment to be self hosted, I’m committed to keep blogging! I have been having fun with all of this; meeting new virtual blogging buddies, sharing my “stuff”, keeping my self accountable which is a motivator for me & I love learning about new products & sharing them with you.

Now, the weather is breaking & I’m going to be “amping” up my training & getting myself outdoors for my runs. I’m hoping to get in some good runs this weekend! Woo hoo- finally spring is springing!

There aren’t many entries for the NuNaturals rafflecopter. Honestly, this is a great giveaway! We’ve been finding more ways to use it around my house. Last night I made Stone & Samantha a smoothie with yogurt, berries, almond milk & a couple drops of vanilla NuNaturals. It was delicious! I also added a couple drops of the chocolate to my hemp smoothie the other day. I added a couple drops of vanilla to my overnight oats yesterday a.m. & 2 drops of peppermint to my licorice tea. IT was a great combo.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, check it all out here!

The only downside to all of the NuNaturals is that last night, I bumped the lemon & it shattered! Fell on the granite counter & then onto the ceramic floor. I love my counters & floors, but it’s not good when I break glass. 😦

I’m beat! Waiting for the sunshine & warm weather.

I pinned buffalo cauliflower & am making it for dinner tonight. I’m so excited, hoping it’s great!

Have a wonderful day.

What’s your favorite flavor extract?

Good Morning!

After my morning workout yesterday, we headed out to a gluten-free festival! I was so excited to check out the goodies there & my family wanted to join me. Funny thing, I told them we we’re going to a food fest, so they were all excited (thinking there may be candy there). Shhh. I did not telling them it was a gluten-free food fest! I figured that they’d find out soon enough & was certain they’d find a lot of goodies they would like. Well, we didn’t make it there! There were a couple of different routes we tried to take because so many roads were closed because of the storms & then we had enough & decided not to go :(. I was a little bummed, but it was silly to keep driving around, so we just called it quites! Guess there’s always next year!

I did however, pick a winner for the Hemp giveaway…

And, the winner for the Hemp giveaway is:

I’ve got your info., so I”ll send it on the good people at Manitoba Harvest! Way to go Jeffrey, you did it again!!!! :).

Today is Meatless Monday, so let me get back to that…

Kale slaw with Kale tahini pesto

I can’t take credit for the pesto, as I pinned it from Versatile Vegan. It was so great over the kale slaw that I get from CostCo. I’m sure it would be good with pasta or a potato or maybe even quinoa as well. I also think that I’d add a little cayenne next time to give it a little more zing. But, it’s quite good as it is. It’s very “green/earthy” tasting, so beware! It may be a lot for some.

I made these chocolate chip oat flour cookies. They are good & there are only 2 left! NO Sugar added my friends! This is a winner. They do have a hint of sweetness because of the Pure Liquid™ Vanilla Alcohol Free Stevia™.

. (I’ll be posting more about that soon!!!).
