Hey!!
Please forgive my missing face for the past couple of days. My charger for my laptop broke on the weekend and I didn’t get a new one until yesterday. I have been still doing lots of lurking with my ipad but haven’t been leaving/replying to any comments!
Now everything will be back to normal
Did everyone have a good weekend/week so far?? My weekend was awesome — my mom came for a visit! I love getting to spend time with her! I only wished her and my dad lived in the same city as me
My mom always spoils me when she comes and when she came this weekend she bought me a new toy!!
YAY!!! I’ve wanted a Garmin Forerunner for awhile and now I have one!! I still don’t know really how to use it but so far it’s soo neat! Thanks Mom!! ♥
She also brought me some vday chocolates
{that’s actually an empty box…..Andrew and I demolished those chocolates}
I don’t really have too many food pics for you. Pretty poor for a food blog, I know.
omelette with 1 egg and 1/2 cup egg whites, broccoli, peppers, spinach and strawberries and oranges.
quinoa salad made by my mom, half stuffed in a pepper and baked, roasted butternut squash with Tiger Tiger Tikka May-O, KALE, tofu, and strawberries.
more butternut squash with tikka may-o {this stuff is craaaazy good}, omelette with mushrooms, spinach and goat cheddar, toast with almond butter and hemp hearts.
KALE, quinoa salad, rutabagas, homemade wheat thins and goat cheddar slices.
Tofu with mustard, baked yam with avocado, mushrooms and onions and more KALE.
Tea ~ 1 slice fresh lemon and 2-3 chunks fresh ginger.
the BEST blueberry yogurt muffins.
collard green wraps filled with mashed yams, broccoli, avocado and a laughing cow, steamed golden beets and sprouts.
more steamed beets, toast with Choc-ooh-lala nut butter, chile picante plantain chips and snapea crisps.
I’m gonna leave you with a video blog {yay!!!} that I did today which hopefully makes up for the craptacular food pics
I just did the accent blog or dialect blog that a lot of other bloggers have done. The mumbly mess that I’m trying to say at the beginning is that I didn’t have my COMPUTER, not the internet. Stage fright I guess
The words:
aunt, route, wash, oil, theater, iron, salmon, caramel, fire, water, sure, data, ruin, crayon, toilet, New Orleans, pecan, both, again, probably, spitting image, alabama, lawyer, coupon, mayonnaise, syrup, pajamas, caught
The questions:
- What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
- What is the bug that when you touch it, it curls into a ball?
- What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?
- What do you call gym shoes?
- What do you say to address a group of people?
- What do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?
- What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?
- What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?
- What is the thing you change the TV channel with?
That’s it! Sorry this post is soo rushed. I’m working night shifts tonight and tomorrow and I still don’t have lunch packed! Or my clothes picked out
Big hugs,
Paije xoxo
Questions: Do you pronounce words like I do?
What is your favorite kind of tea??

i’ve missed your face!! your vlog was fun, i watched janetha’s and it was fun. I like how you added more words in there. And i still like to call them bunny-hugs, although i have started calling them zipups, when they have a zipper.
glad you got your charger fixed, you can’t leave me for this long!

Hi Paige
I think your food looks amazing….I check your blog every day now….miss you when you are busy.
I hope that you are finding things working to get your iron back up where it should be/and starting to feel better….especially for such a busy girl.
I saw Tara on Tuesday, we all met in Regina to go to the Tody Keith concert, Landon and Angela, Tara and Kent, Lyle and I….so nice altogheter in one place, even though it was just one night and part of the next day. Why I am telling you this is, I know how special it is to spend time as Mother/Daughter …. something we all treasure.
Would like recipe for your Mom’s Quinoa salad if possible.
Thanks………………talk to you soon.
As ever

Yay! You made the muffins.
Those collard wraps look soo good! I keep seeing them around blogs and every time I want to try them more and more. My favorite tea is chamomile. It’s so relaxing I love drinking it before bed.

Love the vid! I thought about doing one buuut I put it off and never got around to it. Maybe I’ll do it someday when it’s already become obsolete haha. I also love all your eats, seriously. You sure know how to pack the nutrients in! I keep meaning to buy collard greens to try since I never have before and they clearly make amazing wraps!
As for tea, I like it all but I’ve been drinking a lot more green lately. I also love dessert teas like vanilla or hazelnut. And peppermint tea is always a classic. Mmm.
