Cooking Spree

August 30, 2011 By Heather Blackmon

.

I know most people cook for the week on Sundays, but lately I’ve been cooking like crazy on Mondays. But, I’m getting a little ahead of myself.

I started the day off with a green smoothie – my favorite blend recently:

  • 2 cups almond milk
  • 2 cups spinach
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • 1/2 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tablespoon agave nectar
  • 1/2 banana
  • 6-8 ice cubes

Green Smoothie

It always looks a little too healthy, but tastes wonderful!

Lunch was leftovers from this weekend. Tater Tot Casserole (Peas & Thank You) made with Sweet Potato Waffle Fries instead of Tater Tots. We had this for dinner on Friday, lunch on Sunday, and lunch today – I am a big fan of leftovers. 🙂

Let the Cooking Spree begin!

Tonight after work was where the crazy cooking began. Most of the dishes were Mexican, so Kirk made us homemade Margaritas to set the mood:

I had several dishes going at a time, but here’s what we ended up with:

  • Nacho Mmmm Sauce from Peas & Thank You
  • Creamy Basil Hummus from Daily Garnish
  • Freezer Burritos w/Black Beans, Pinto Beans, & Chickpeas from Shutterbean
  • Pressed & marinated tofu in preparation for Wednesday’s lunch (to make tomorrow)
The Mmmm Sauce & Hummus are for snack dipping – chopped peppers in individual containers ready to take to work:
Finally, it was time to finish dinner for tonight: Green and Red Lentil Enchiladas from (you guessed it) Peas & Thank You Cookbook – you’ll have to buy her book to make this yummy meal!
That just about wraps up my day – very food focused for sure!
Tomorrow will kick off early with a run, with the forecast showing the 60s, I’m excited!! I’m also determined to get back on my bike after work with a ride around Roswell.

Hi! I’m Heather, a yoga & wellness teacher based in Colorado... Read More…

Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine lake or shredding on a local trail? ⬇️

In both cases, we need to protect the land we enjoy on our adventures. And Leave No Trace is one program that helps with that - especially those that have a high rate of degradation through a program called Hot Spots. 

I'm excited to be partnering with @leavenotrace and @onxbackcountry to celebrate and preserve all these beautiful outdoor places. And for all of June, $10 of every onX Backcountry membership is being donated towards Leave No Trace’s Hot Spot program. A great way to get access to my favorite backcountry app AND support LNT! 

I added a link in my bio if you're interested in learning more, so you can help #ExploreandRestore!

What scares me is probably different than what scares you.

I am admittedly a timid mountain biker - but getting better every day.

I'm afraid to face plant, but still working on crow pose in yoga.

⬇️ What is one thing that scares you & how are you working on it?

Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga clothes?

For at least part of the day, it's just easier to put on yoga pants, sports bra, and a "zoom-appropriate" top. Or a button-up layered over my workout tank. It makes it SO much easier to squeeze in a workout when I have time.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's not going back to work clothes?!

Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸 But reall Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸

But really, keep your gaze straight ahead to keep your neck safe in bridge (or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana). It's rare that a version of this pose isn't included during cooldown in my classes.

Do you love bridge as much as I do?
