Salt & Humor

In the last three weeks I have been making lentil sprouts about once or twice a week. I toss these in pretty much everywhere. Amazing Sunday breakfast. Brown rice, green beans, adzuki bean sprouts, kale, nutritional yeast and soy sauce. For breakfast a few days a week, I have been having steamed kale or collard [...]

I recently tried Nature Valley’s sweet and salty granola bars. I would be lying if I told you they were not good.  In fact, they are outstanding! However, I would kinda classify them in the candy bar or cookie category. . . Darn it all! In particular, the cashew would be my favorite.  Not like I [...]

I don’t have any fun photos of yummy eats to share with you tonight.  I do have a giveaway though. Does that work? Eats just weren’t photo worthy enough. I had overnight oats and coffee for breakfast, leftover falafel and salad for lunch, then warmed up a bean and rice burrito at work before I left. [...]

You know those days when you don’t get up in time to properly get ready for the day…Well, that was me on Wednesday.  My back was so dang sore that everything I did, just happened at a slower and more painful rate.  I did not fix a lunch for work the night before and told [...]

Skipped the coffee this morning and replaced it with some juice.  I swear, it gives you the same feeling, only better. That is really a monster carrot! They are Italian carrots-cool huh. I made oats before my workout so they would be ready after. I have really been enjoying making overnight oats (no-cook), this was [...]

Oh hell Ya! Look what greeted me when I walked into Trader Joe’s last night.  I can’t even describe how it make me feel to see tulips in January! Soon the crocus will be popping out of the ground.   I just love bulbs!! All of them! Maybe tulips and gladiolas would be my favorite. I [...]

What the crapadoo!! Does anyone else get “fire face” when they work out?? I have my whole life.  Sure, it wasn’t as bad when I was in better shape, but it would even then, still get way red! This is a very modest shade of red.  I am not that comfortable yet to reveal my [...]

Jason’s other favorite dinner would be fish tacos.  It is one of mine to, I just don’t request it EVERY week. I pan grill tilapia with lime and seasoning.  After it is cooked, I break up the fish and add more lime juice.  (lime juice MUST be fresh squeezed) Sprinkle with light bread crumbs and [...]

Oh my!  So, the Trader Joe’s eggplant hummus inspired me to make my own.  I am so glad I did.  Roasted 1 whole eggplant and cooked some chick peas.  Into the food processor went: chick peas, 1 1/2 juiced lemons, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 1/2 tbsp. tahini, salt and pepper.  Didn’t seem to need [...]

Happy Birthday Mom! Today is my Mom’s Birthday.  I am missing her very much.  Long distance can be very hard sometimes.  I have so much to thank my Mom for.  She is the one who taught me so much of what I know today.  In fact, it is she who taught me the values of [...]

I was so lucky to get sick on my visit to Reno.  I managed to hobble through the week with H1N1 the worst cold/flu I think I’ve had yet.  I actually slept 12 hours last night.  When I woke up I knew it was time to reunite with my juicer.     Yumm-mooo! It’s good [...]
