4. Check out my newly updated Recipes page! My most recent recipes are now featured on the page. I have also simplified the page by category. All you have to do is click on your desired category link at the top of the page and it brings you down!

The top of the page now looks like this:

Much easier to find your favourite recipes! :)

I have also included the links to my Breakfast, lunch, and dinner categories if you want to see ALL of my meals that I have filed away!

5. I have some great hot topics coming up including:

• Food blogs and the Internet- a passing fad or here to stay?
• Why raw food isn’t always better
• The Weight loss phase- don’t forget about us

I am really excited for all of this stuff to unfold! :)

 

We have a wonderful guest post today!!

This is Bandit our resident Raccoon!
He enjoys climbing up the bird feeder and stealing innocent bird’s food for his lunch!

Boy does Bandit know how to work a pole! He must be taking some pole dancing lessons lately.

Then, I saw some bunnies!

A mama and papa! :) Awww. If only I could see the babies!

Just your average day at the ZOO, ya know? lol.

For lunch, I was craving some grilled brussel sprouts!

Little known fact: I used to HATE brussel sprouts until last year! I used to eat 1 or 2 during family dinners at Eric’s house because his mom always makes them. Slowly over time I got used to them and now I LOVE them! Funny how that works!

So delicious. I grilled 1 cup in a bit of red wine vinegar.

I also made what I like to call a ‘Vegan Sloppy Jane’ :)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup wheatberries
• 1 PC flatbread multigrain hamburger bun, toasted
• 1/2 avocado
• salsa
• 1 Money’s Veggie burger

The Sloppy Jane was incredible!!!

   

I also had 2 ripe and juicy kiwis:

Some new white tea called Saphara from my Aunt!

It was the first white tea I have tasted that didn’t taste bitter! It was delicious!

And a Skinni-Mini Glo Bun for dessert- obviously!!!

      

For an afternoon snack I had a big bowl of spelt cereal and a granny smith apple!

Glo bun UPDATE:

• Eric brought most of the glo buns to work today and they were RAVED about by coworkers!!! Eric is obsessed with them!!!!! Woot woot! :) And remember- this is coming from someone who says they HATE cinnamon and HATE cinnamon buns! LOL!!! Famous last words in this house…

OFF DAYS RULE:

• I’m super busy today preparing for my Glo Bakery meeting tomorrow so I am happily taking an off day! Off days are a GOOD thing, remember? :)

Ok, I am back to work on Shop 4 A Cause. I am so so excited about this guys! It is going to be a truly amazing auction for charity. I wish it was tomorrow! But alas, we will wait until June 11th. Save the date!

Don’t forget- tomorrow at 8am EST a new Glo Bakery recipe will be featured on KERF! Be sure to head on over and leave a comment telling me what you think about it!
