Absence is said to do that… make the heart grow fonder. So, did you miss me?
I’ve noticed that each week, I go a few days in a row without blogging. I’m ok with that. I love sharing my daily life with all of you, but I never want blogging to get in the way of living. Sorry Mom and Dad if you get worried after a few days of silence on the blog-front.
The last few days I’ve been doing a lot of living… and eating. Let me show you a little bit.
Food!
Banana oats with flaxseed, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds peanut butter and blueberry jam.
Tuna salad wrap with lettuce, tomato, carrot and radishes and a pear
One of the living things I got up to this week was having Kate over for dinner. Sebastian and I made our favorite- Pretend Paneer Masala as well as an eggplant curry. All was served up with rice, naan and a salad.
After dinner, Kate and I went to see Prince of Persia at the movie theatre. I was looking more forward to the outing than the actual movie but was pleasantly surprised. I wouldn’t typically choose to see a movie like this, but actually liked it. Give it a try for your self.
Rye English muffin with peanut butter and blueberry jam and fresh raspberries.
Last night for dinner, we whipped up Tofu Tacos.
