There are very few meals I repeat.
So much to experiment with, so little time…
Egg white oats are one of the chosen few things I keep in steady rotation. Egg whites in your oats may sound strange to some of you, but I swear it’s good. #strangebutgood
You really don’t taste the egg whites at all – even Vegas will attest to that. What you CAN taste is the fresh fruit and creamy oats. I used mango and blueberries, but you can change it up depending on what’s in season.

I always think “when this is over, I’ll have so much free time.”
And then the next thing happens.
It’s a good thing. Truth be told, I love being busy.
Vegas got the best birthday present ever this year – season tickets to the Padres. She basically has the best wife ever. Ahem.

Put an egg on it.
Instant breakfast.
Pizza with an egg on it seems to be catching on around San Diego. I live right by the Italian section of town, and my favorite spot has an amazing brunch pizza. Complete with an egg on it. I was craving just such a pizza yesterday and made my own version for Vegas and me.
If an egg on a pizza isn’t strange enough for you, try it on a gluten-free, dairy-free cauliflower crust pizza. It’s crazy good. #VegasApproved

Some days I think I am certifiable.
Side note: Bat-shit crazy is actually the name of the group text between my mom, sisters, and me.
So… we know I tore my ACL. How about 6 days later I decided I’d still participate in a 22 mile bike ride? I mean… I’d already registered and paid the fee…
Vegas was so mad she would barely speak to me.
Post-race with the awesome stranger-friends who stuck with me through the ride.

I’ve been back in the gym for two days.
You don’t need a knee for upper body, bro!
I’m trying really hard to make sure I get allllll the protein to make sure I don’t lose a ton of muscle mass with this injury. So there have been a lot of shakes happening. Today’s is a little Easter-themed! In a #strangebutgood way, obv.

I completely forgot I was hosting WIAW today.
But I have a really good excuse.
I’m too busy going to doctors and laying around like this:

I love beets.
I’m still recovering from asparagus.
Despite my timidness toward asparagus, I was lured in by a $1.99 sale at Whole Foods. Whole Foods is the source of all temptation for me. Ok, ok… Whole Foods and whiskey. And chocolate cake. I’m weak.
Back to the topic at hand… asparagus and beets. They are both normal, but you don’t often see them paired. It’s a little strange to serve them together. Which is exactly when I did in this very good Lemon-Garlic Asparagus and Beet dish.

My dream job would be getting paid to travel.
Who’s hiring?
Some people are read to come home after vacation. Not me. Vegas and I just got back from a (almost) 2 week adventure. We went to Napa for a wine course, came home for a bit, and then headed out again to Vegas for my first NASCAR race, then to see Antelope Canyon in AZ, and lastly to Phoenix for Padres Spring Training.
It’s a lot to recap, but I wanted to quickly share some Antelope Canyon highlights.
