8 things accomplished today…
1. 2 hours spent raking/bagging leaves.
Okay so only 7 of those bags are from today but I swear it feels like I raked up all 30. BEST upper body workout.
2. Got all my recycling….recycled.

3. Had the most ballllin’ breakfast! Please explain to me WHY I have never tried chocolate in my oatmeal before? Lightbulb much?!
1/4 cup scottish oats, 1 cup water, 1/4 cup almond milk, 1 tbsp chia seeds, 1/2 banana and 2 Trader Joes peanut butter cups. {My cousin brought me back TJ goodies from Charlotte! Love love love!}
4. Made two batches of kale chips!
Super cheesy and chili lime. The chili lime ones are BOMB!!
5. Today was the 2011 Canadian Federal Election!

You can bet your booty I got out there and voted!
6. Gave the puppies a bath.
And a treat, obvs. 
7. Made a suuuper filling yummy supper!
The burger is Heather’s edamame millet burger and they are delicious!! Even Andrew really liked them. Bam. Win.
I’m always looking for new veg burger recipes and this was soo easy and soo tasty. Go make them!
I loveeee farro now. Doesn’t take love for obsessions to form over here. I switched it up after seeing a recipe in the Fine Cooking mag.
Roasted Broccoli and Farro Salad with Feta
adapted from Fine Cooking; serves 2 or 3
1/2 cup farro, rinsed
1 1/2 cups veggie broth
1 head of broccoli, chopped into pieces and roasted*
3 tbsp goats feta cheese
3 tsbp sundried tomatoes
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 tbsp parsley, chopped
1 tsp olive oil
juice of 1/2 lemon
salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 400F. Cook farro in veggie broth according to package directions. Chop broccoli, toss with 1 tsp olive oil, place in oven safe baking dish and bake for 20 minutes. Broccoli is ready when tender and browned in spots.
Add the broccoli, feta, onions, parsley, salt, pepper to the farro. Squeeze the lemon on top and you’re ready to eat.
8. Laughed waaay to hard at this video.
Goodnight!! Hope you had a great Monday!
Love and hugs,
Paije xoxo

raking leaves is a great workout, almost wish i had a yard to do it, but then again i dont hahaa
chocolate in oatmeal, would make my day!
Yesterday I went for a bike ride, already talked about in my post yesterday. Today its only 8:30am and im at work, so not much accomplished yet.
Also, you should send me a list of at least what you use for your cheezy kale chips, so i can attempt them one last time before never trying it again ! I’m only doing it for you.

This time for the kale chips we use sunflower seeds, red pepper, lemon, and nooooooch! TRY THEM!!

Mmmmm oatmeal with chocolate…genius! You sure DID accomplish a lot. I would love to try some kale chips, nice going! I accomplished a nice run yesterday, but other than that, I don’t know where the time went!

You definitely should try kale chips!! Maybe we could do a foodie swap??
Running is a MASSIVE accomplishment!!

Chocolate in oatmeal is a dream come true, especially when the chocolate melts.

Nice accomplishments. That burger looks fantastic. And yes, oats and chocolate- oooooooooooh so good- but you kicked it up with the pb cups!

chocolate peanut butter oats is like a reeses peanut butter cup for breakfast. It makes waking up (almost) enjoyable!

Chicky chicky parm parm… hahaha.
OMG at those melty chocolate oats. Who ever needs dessert? And you WERE productive, wooo. I love productive days. Sadly right now mine has been a little less than so. I ran and job searched… THAT did not make me feel very successful. I’d rather do some mad raking!
May 3, 2011 at 10:04 am
paijery
Job searching takes sooo long! I would say putting any bit of effort into looking for a job is a HUGE accomplishment! Same with running
