It's beginning to look alot like.... Spring?

Wow, yesterday was a BEAUTIFUL day.  The sun was shining and was warm (the sun not the air brrr) 

I started the morning with a warm plum crumble... It was good.  I just threw together some ingredients and ~~Ta Da~~.. this yummy baby was born!  I cooked this at about 10:30 on Sunday night... hehe..

Then I packed up some snacks to the day as it was BUSY

 

Green monster, apple, protein bar, pepperoni, mini oranges and dried figs.

I only had the green monster and pepperoni - YUM!

Then I hit Superstore...  wowsers... what a mess that place was!

I waitied in line to be told I had to wait in another line, where I was told I couldn't pay for one of my things there, so I had to move to another line.  Then I waited for the self checkout... and a person had about 50 coupons, then 2 of the self checkouts went out of order... haha...

It was EXHAUSTING.  I felt like I was being "punked"

I decided to take a time out, and finish my chores after because

I was very close to becoming a grumpy Christmas shopper.

I grabbed some subway and headed for one of the most beautiful lunch dates I've ever had

See that little bench in the left hand corner, that was my beautiful lunch date!

I had a roasted chicken loaded full of VEGGIES!!

Here was my view (trust me the pictures don't do it justice)

 

Here comes the tug boat!

Then I went for a little walky poo..   It was chilly though...

Brr.. I could have been wearing a jacket, hat, scarf and mittens.  The ocean air was COLD!

 

Kelp!

If you look WAY in the back, there is a resort that is amazing! 

During the summer time you can take a free water taxi across to it's sister resort on the island

on the other side!   It's so pretty.

 

During the summer, we get tons of artists that come for the driftwood carving contest.

This is one of the pieces!

After all that fun I went off to teach my little class and then went to yoga/climbing. 

Yoga was awesome, I'm sad the class is over.  We practiced handstands!!!   I almost did it!!

Then I'm happy to say I FINISHED MY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING!!

And bought this beautiful poinsettia!!
 

Then came home to a yummy steak and veggie cooked dinner.  Thanks hunny!!

It was sooo good!!  (no pictures I was WAY to hungry!!)

Since it's December 1st - what is your favorite Christmas tradition?

3 posts in one day!! aahhhh

Well I figured since this is a food blog, I should maybe let you know what was on my plate today!
I can't believe I am fessing up to the crazy random food I ate today, especially after claiming I am a healthy eater! haha.. but... that being said, let me set the mood of the day.

I woke up to a rainy, drizzly, dark morning. When I got up, Dave had already gone to work, and Lance the dog was crashed out on his couch. When he got up to go outside, he took one look at the day, groaned and walked back to his bed. I haven't seen him much since today!

I started my day with a "green monster" Check it out green monster movement they are soooo good!!!!

Mine had 2 cups spinach, 1/2 a frozen banana, peanut butter, ice cubes, almond milk and a wee little bit of sweetener. It was good, and I like getting a bunch of my greens done right off the bat!! Especially since I didn't eat anymore all day... by accident of course *winks*

I also snacked on a few pumpkin seeds that I made yesterday after carving my pumpkin! Is'nt she lovely... I named her big mama!! Lance had to check out what I was doing!

Then I made oatmeal, coconut, cranberry "healthy" cookies - I might have let a few slip into my mouth, they were really good!!

Lunch was chilli I made last night... very good. Sorry I don't have any pictures, I'm not much of a food blogger yet am I :) I scooped up the chili with a few taco chips! I love crunch!

While Lance and I visited my parents, we both had a yummy peanut butter cookie!! My mom makes great peanut butter cookies and they are sooo easy. 1 cup PB, 1/2 cup sugar and an egg, that's it!! Soooooooooooo good!! My mom made one special for Lance, he was more than in love!!

When I got home, I was feeling like comfort food, I was going to make one of my favorite dinners, eggs and roasted potatoes, but I ended up just having the potatoes!! (oops..) I boiled them and then tossed them in a hot pan with coconut oil and spices... Again, not the best choice, but remember, it's a comfort food day!! haha

Now it's about 8:00pm and I had a sudden urge to make lentil soup. (and drink tons of red wine!!) I don't think I'm going to eat any, as I'm full after all my crap food today!! (and for some reason all the red wine has disappeared from my kitchen, which is probably a good thing!!) It smells sooo good though!! Here is the place I found it. Click here for the yummy soup recipe!
(Ok the recipe is for pea soup, but I didn't have any peas, so I did the same thing but with lentils, I also added 1/2 teaspoon of curry powder and 1/2 an apple... I have no idea why the picture is sideways!!

Anyways, I was hoping I'd get a chance to watch some fantastic chick flick on tv, but every movie that is on is a thriller... eek... no thank you, not for this chick!!

Good night, sweet dreams............. :)
