Salt & Humor

Sometimes, the simpler the better.  My 8th grade art teacher used to tell us that ALL the time.  Mrs. Killian was probably my favorite teacher of all time!! Little did I know, that that saying pretty much applies to most of life (in my opinion).  So, breakfast was simple this morning.  Coffee and cream, dry toast and a fried egg.

These eggs are from chickens right next door!

AhHemm….ah yes, I did sneak those photos though knot-holes in the fence.  Lucky for me, I was able to receive fresh, organic eggs from the neighbors.

Check out this bread I found the other day!! Local bakery, 4 g fiber and 4 g protein per slice, I’ll take it! Anyone else check those stats before buying bread? Green Earth Baking is right here in Portland!  How cool is that!! I am anxious to try their other breads as well!

If you’re interested, you should check out their philosophy and practice. If only more manufacturers would follow such guidelines!

Happy Valentine’s Day All!!

I LOVE THIS BOY!!!!!!!!!!!

Perfect morning:

mango, banana, kiwi, lemon juice and cinn.

Going to go pull weeds and stuff Spy on some new growth that is sneaking out.  Be back later to show you the goodies if you’re interested. ENJOY THE DAY!

Hyacinth, daffodils, and crocus, OH MY! What a sweet reward to today’s yard work!

Breakfast started with some of the best coffee I have ever had.  Jason and I were so lucky to receive this marvelous coffee from some dear friends back home.

Repeat bowl from yesterday, only today I added walnuts.

I spent much time blogging today. So, while catching up posts from all the lovely ladies that I adore, I stumbled upon this from Carbzilla‘s Tuesday post. (I’m not behind or anything) She has presented me with the beautiful blogger award….I blush.

So, along with this little award, it is said I should list 7 facts about myself:

- When I first met my husband, I hated him!  He hated me back and we did that dance for about two years before going out.

-I love my family very much and they mean the world to me!

- I have only traveled to 7 states

- I traveled to Torino, Italy to visit my brother when he studied abroad

-Would love to be that couple that one day travels the country in a motor-home. So much to see right here!

- I have 3 cats and love them insanely

-I don’t really like to talk on the phone. Thank goodness for email and text messaging

I need to pass this award to 7 others.  I need to snoop around and see who has not yet, received it. Thanks Carbzilla for sharing.  Check her out.  Her post make me laugh!

I spiralized some zucchini noodles for dinner and experimented with some raw marinara.  It was good.  The only problem was the garlic.  I am thinking it is a bad time for garlic, I have just purchased bad ones the last three times in a row, or I am not liking it as much any more.  I am really hoping for one of the first two.  Anyways, it made the sauce really spicy and hot. ehh.  It also did that to the white bean hummus. I also had some frozen eggplant cutlets from Trader Joe’s.

Is it really already Sunday night?  Oh, weekend, where did you go?

Remember when I made the Christmas cake balls? Well, I had some leftover chocolate.  What was I to do?  I’ll tell you.  Dip frozen cherries in it.  Yeah, baby, yeah! No worries, I only had one.

Have a good night.!
