HI!
Trucking along today, but I cannot stop thinking about…
Vegan Overnight Oats!
They kept me full from 6:45am until 11am when I had a small snack of Mary’s Crackers. Not too shabby!
I had to do everything in my power not to make them for lunch, but I will admit they are a strong possibility for dinner… ;) I already have dreamed up about 4 different concoctions of the overnight oats…and I can’t wait to make them ALL.
I am also liking this twice a day posting. I feel like each post is more manageable and not crazy long like some of the others have been.
After preparing and shipping my Glo Bar STORE order (whohoo!!!), I was faced with some less exciting tasks. I track all of my receipts for my business in Excel, and sadly, I have not entered a single receipt since Dec. 31st 2009.
Not cool, Ange. Not cool.
Since I quit my old research job and started the bakery (see my AYCCA series), most of my working days have been spent on my feet baking- often 12 hours on some days. So now when I am faced with ‘desk work’, it drives me utterly insane with boredom.
As you can see below, I am a Type A organizer…hahaha… :mrgreen:
…OR NOT! Thank gosh I am training someone next week…I need all the help I can!
But alas, after a few hours, it got done and I felt much better!
Well, I felt better until I realized how much my expenses totalled! Yikes.
Trucking along…
My lunch break was bright and cheery, unlike this rainy weather we are having…! Thankfully, the warm + sun returns Saturday and is supposed to stay for a week!
5 Minute Sautéed carrots and Neat Sauce
Ingredients:
- 3-4 Medium carrots, chopped or processed
- 1 cup Neat Sauce
- Dried parsley
- Black pepper
Directions: Chop or process carrots and then lightly sauté for about 3-5 minutes in a skillet. Add 1 cup of heated Neat Sauce over top, sprinkle with parsley and black pepper and serve!
This was incredible and ready in a jiffy.
Along with an Endure Glo Bar:
Today is another rest day for me exercise-wise as I am trying to taper just in case I end up running the 10k this Sunday! We might be babysitting my 1 year old nephew overnight on Saturday so I will have to see if I get any sleep I guess. ;)
Super-fantastical News:
- Look who (and what!) is going to be featured on the Oprah Winfrey Network! Major congrats to Caitlin! Don’t forget you can pre-order the Operation Beautiful book on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Borders!
- Can anyone tell me if my comment reply email plug-in is working? :)
- I know many of you are excited to be among the first to buy Glo Bars in the Thornhill store! I will be updating on the blog as soon as I know when the Glo Bars are on the shelves.
Have a wonderful Thursday!
I’m the same way with receipts! I just let them pile up instead of staying on top of it ;)
Must try overnight oats! :)
I have to enter all my receipts for our investment property before tax time and that won’t be fun!! hehe each year I keep telling myself that it would be easier to enter them as I go – rather than save them all up….oh well….next year perhaps!?
I have a weekly reminder in G-calendar to do my receipt entry on Friday mornings…some mornings it gets done but sometimes it doesnt. I was doing good up until my accountant had my excel document and I couldnt input anything for 2 months! I prefer to try and do a bit each week as it is so much less stressful…it doesnt always work out that way but I try! :)
Oh book keeping…SO NOT FUN!
I always have to blast music when I’m doing some thing like that. It keeps me more entertained. :)
You sure are finding some great ways to use that sauce and make it delicious.
Love the lentil and carrot combo, that looks delish! Loving your more frequent posts too.
Haha oh man, that pile of receipts would make me want to cry!!! I would 100% do the same thing though..haha
Just wanted to say a big CONGRATS on getting the Glo Bars in the store! :)
haha my entire planner is full of lists! I HAVE to make list of I will forget all of it and feel completely lost. Oh the joys of being Type A :)
Oh my goodness! All those receipts look like a complete mind overload! I’m so glad you will have someone help you out in the future! I know what my receipts look like when I’ve been traveling for a week and you’ve got a whole month going! Wowie!
Congrats to Caitlin and to YOU for all your success and tackling those receipts!!
Have you revealed which store in Thornhill you will be selling Glo bars in? I’m sorry if I missed that!
Good luck with your Glo Bar business. If I ever see one in the store I will be sure to try it!
I would work for u in a heartbeat!!
That dish is beautiful. Beautiful.
Love your energy and joy. So beautiful.
I really need to order some of those bars to try for myself. They look so delicious! Your comment email reply is working. I appreciate the response about the chia seeds. thank you!
I love the two shorter posts a day! Good work on that to-do list….mine is just getting longer!
Wow you’re quite an accountant; so impressive! What did you study in school?
Thanks
Katherine
Ok, after reading your first “neat sauce” post, I went to the store and got all the stuff to make it, with a few tweaks of course :-)
Instead of using store bought sauce, I simply sauteed some onion and garlic, then blitzed it in the food processor with 3 fresh tomatoes, a glug of olive oil, and a ton of fresh herbs. Heated it up with a can of organic lentils..SO GOOD and I knew exactly what was in it!
I just ate it for dinner over some roasted caulifower and zuchinni (with some wine of course)…thanks for my new addiction to “neat sauce” and “cheeze”!!
that sounds amazing!
Hi Ange,
The comment plug-in is a success! It actually worked on your last post so that’s great! Allows for a dialogue to continue in the comments on your blog. And can’t wait to pick up some of your Glo Bars next time I am in Toronto!
whohoo!
i kind of like working a desk job, as long as theres variation and i can get up once and awhile. Not my dream job however.
you’d be so fun to work with!
