This morning I had a new fruit in my Green Monster. Can you guess what it was?
Clue: It’s juicy, it’s orange, and it’s large.
Cantaloupe!
I don’t know why I hadn’t tried this in my GM’s before because this was really delicious!
It tasted really fresh with a hint of cantaloupe flavour.
My Ingredients:
3-4 cups lightly steamed baby organic spinach
1 cup Almond Breeze
1 T flax
1 Organic peppermint tea bag (cut open and contents dumped into blender)
1 cup cantaloupe
I felt so great after drinking it!
For a mid-morning snack, I had a Larabar:
I made tons of progress on entering my receipts this morning! I am happy to say that all of them are now entered and accounted for. It feels so good to have that done.
I decided that I am going to book a half day at the end of each month to devote to receipt tracking. I tend to put things off if I don’t have it booked on my to-do list!
I got hungry for lunch around 1pm.
I decided to continue the orange theme make one of my favourite meals- Stuffed salmon and veggie peppers!
Ingredients:
- 1 can Gold Seal
Flaxedflaked salmon - 1.25 cup frozen mixed veggies
- 1 T Kraft Light Balsamic Vinaigrette
- Chili Pepper
Directions: Cook frozen veggies in microwave and drain. Mix all ingredients together and stuff pepper. Cook for 15-17 mins in oven at 425F. When you take it out of the oven drizzle vinaigrette over top.
Dining Alfresco once again in 20C and sunshine with our Ikea patio furniture:
Baked to perfection:
With a serving of Mary’s Organic Crackers:
I fully intended on studying my Food Safety manual, but the sun was too bright and I forgot my shades.
After lunch, I was stuffed! I am still stuffed. It was a wonderful and filling lunch. :)
I couldn’t believe it but I am sore after my run outside yesterday! It is crazy how different running outside vs. indoors is! Luckily, it isn’t my injury spot that is sore, but it is my BUTT/Glutes and my QUADS. I am just going to take it easy today to allow my body to repair. I may do some gardening for my workout since it is nice and warm out today! As well as lots of stretching and more ab work.

PS- Last night I updated my ‘Read’ page with more awesome blogs! I added a bunch of fun cake decorating websites.
I hope you are enjoying sunshine wherever you are!
"I am convinced that attitude is the key to success or failure in almost any of life’s endeavors. Your attitude-your perspective, your outlook, how you feel about yourself, how you feel about other people-determines you priorities, your actions, your values. Your attitude determines how you interact with other people and how you interact with yourself." Carolyn Warner
