Ok… maybe I’ve been cooking a wee bit…

Hey guys, 
Thanks again for all the feel better comments. 

It’s amazing how much you take little things like standing and getting up and down for granted, until you don’t have that option!   I am still really sore BUT it’s much better than the last few days!!

Yesterday morning started off great!   
Dave finally got his Christmas present – if you were following me on twitter then you know that the company I ordered it from, told me the day before Christmas that they forgot to order it!! EEK!

I snapped a few photos of course!

Then the doorbell rang again with a fantastic package!

I contacted the people at Mighty Teas and asked them for  free samples!! 
They were happy to send them out, I think I got one of each flavor!!

It was hard to choose my first flavor as there were SO many yummy sounding ones.
I started off with the Orange Dulce -  soo good!

I love these teas as they come in beautiful little silk tea bags!

See that bright light in the background?  That’s sunshine.  Something I haven’t seen in a long long time!

Next up I tried this flavor

Chocolate Mint Truffle – yes please!

These teas are amazing 

They are a little expensive, about $10 for a box
(but let’s be honest, we all spend $5 for one Starbucks drink)
but they are really worth the $$
and they are so beautiful that it’s like a special treat!
 
My favorite so far is the Green Tea Tropical – which I always get at a restaurant I go to!

Go to their website and check them out!!
You can buy them there, and they have lots of beautiful teapots and tea accessories as well!!

I will continue to review the flavors as I go!!

That’s all from here today.  Thanks again for all your get better comments, you guys are super sweet!

I made some more raw energy balls the day before I hurt my back, with a full picture tutorial!!  So I will post (and hopefully inspire you) later!

Thai… for two!

Last night we headed out on the town for a date night to our favorite Thai food restaurant.   SO GOOD!
Dave started off with Thai Tiger Beer

And I had a virgin lime margarita

Then our SUPER yummy food came – we always order 2 dishes and share!

Dave ordered the special which was “Gaeng Sap Pa Rot” aka Pineapple red curry with coconut milk, red peppers, broccoli, basil leaf and duck for the protein.

Sorry for the blurry pics, it was my old camera and no flash!
This was delish – we wouldn’t have it with duck again, would have been mucho better with chicken (or tofu hehe)

Mine was AMAZING!

Pad Lemongrass – A stir fried red and green peppers, onions and broccoli in a lemongrass mixed sauce, with a side of coconut rice (I heart coconut rice)

Guess what I had for breaky this morning! :)

Yes I ate Thai food for breakfast!! So yummy!!

I also decided that if I eat one bad thing in this world, it would be white rice – I’m not a huge fan of brown rice (at all) but I love white rice especially coconut rice – so there!

What do you normally order when you go for Thai?

After reading about everyone’s delicious greek yogurt, I have been craving yogurt like CRAZY lately, so I went and got some of my soy stuff.

It’s pretty sweet – but I like it as an occasional treat!

HOT TOPIC - What are your thoughts on Soy products?

I never know if I should eat them or not!

Dave also got me a gift yesterday – so cool. 
I think I am going to put it up in our bedroom!

I love the saying too!! Thanks hunny – love you!

As for this morning – I got down and dirty and did about 25 mins on the Wii (including 10 mins hula hooping (again) and then 25 min on the EA Sports Active – concentrating on my BOOTY!!

Well we are off for an exciting Saturday – library (yes new healthy eating magazines/books) and then out for dinner (sushi) with some friends!!
