Morning!
I loved reading all your chocolate comments! Used a random number integer to pick a winner…..congratulations to miss julie p, comment number 185!!!!! Julie, please email me your shipping address and we will get your chocoholic package straight out to you 🙂
Here’s a food recap of the past 24 hours! Yesterday I had a kick butt yoga class then raced home and made a quick lunch before meeting a friend for a writing workshop:
That would be a salmon burger topped with dijon mustard and goat cheese, baby carrots, roasted kabocha squash and cantaloupe. Slightly random but very good! I actually didn’t snack at all yesterday afternoon and instead sipped on a nonfat mocha while writing, which coated my tummy and made me feel pretty full.
However, dinner was SUPER random but it was exactly what I felt like.
Yep. A big bowl of yogurt with blueberries, blackberries, almond butter and raspberry jam. With a carrot cake cupcake 🙂
Then I polished off the rest of the coconut ice cream!
Heck, I never promised normal meals every day….sometimes you just feel like cupcakes for dinner!
And chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast!
It’s snowing in Charleston!!!!!!!!! I can’t even believe it. As much as I wish I was there playing in the snow on King Street, we are supposed to have the best weather ever today….highs in the upper 60’s and sunny. I can’t complain! I want to spend the day outside, soaking as much sunshine as I can into my bones. 🙂
Have a lovely Saturday!

February 13, 2010 at 9:22 amRandomness really works sometimes!!! You just have to go with your cravings. Love the green polka-dot plate, by the way!
I know! I cant believe it’s snowing in charleston either! I live in upstate SC and it’s like the ENTIRE state got snow!! Craziness!
Tammy (Defining Wellness)
February 13, 2010 at 9:30 amI love that eat what you want and are in tune with what it is you are actually craving. I just wrote about that on my blog, because especially as someone recovering from an eating disorder, it’s important to consciously make those comforting choices sometimes!

February 13, 2010 at 2:34 pmRe ‘Getting sunshine into bones’ with Dr. Andrew Weill upping his recommendations for Vitamin D3 as a cancer fighter–that is a great idea–he also is an advocate of sunshine for health.
BTW if interested I posted two great recipes–one for Madri Gras Jambalaya…have to celebrate France in America such a huge influence!! And Gwyneth Paltrow’s sexy Valentine’s dinner a duxe.

I often fancy meals at the wrong time – breakfast for dinner is a favourite 🙂
Lily @ Lily's Health Pad

February 14, 2010 at 5:59 amThere’s nothing better than carrot cake! How is it that the meals that aren’t quite standard dinner fare are always the most delicious and satisfying? I think I could eat a sweet, breakfasty combo for every meal!
Diana (mymarblerye)
February 14, 2010 at 8:47 amMmmm your pancakes always look so good! Cupcakes twice a day?!? Totally normal!

February 14, 2010 at 10:32 amYum – your pancake looks amazing!
I haven’t tried a cupcake with my yogurt dishes, but I do add a muffin once in a while. I have a really yummy recipe for zucchini lemon muffins and I’ll crumble one on my yogurt – it tastes so decadent!
