My friends always ask me “do you even work?!”
Ah, the beach life…
I work for myself, which means flexibility. It’s something I value above all else. I go to the gym when I want, I basically alternate between PJs and gym clothes, and – best of all – I can work from anywhere.
One of my favorite types of posts to read are “day in the life” stories. Today I thought I’d try my hand at one, along with the usual WIAW post.

I have a thing for tabbouleh.
A thing I didn’t realize until I began to write this post.
Cauliflower rice has been a thing for a long time. I’ve been replacing the bulgur in tabbouleh for a long time. Therefore, it was only a matter of time until – strangely enough – I decided Cauliflower Tabbouleh needed to happen.
Despite the fact that I have have three other tabbouleh recipes on this blog – Quinoa Tabbouleh, Tofu Tabbouleh, and Tabbouleh Pasta – I really don’t eat it that often. Not that it isn’t good… I really love it. I just get lazy. However, this is the easiest tabbouleh hack yet. And it’s good. Strange, but good.

I’m a passionate of user of very few things.
Packing up to move makes you realize what you REALLY need.
So yeah… we’re moving again. As much as I loved the cross-country Route 66 drive, I’m relieved that this time we’re just going down the street. As I’m – once again – sifting through stuff, deciding what we need and what is just clutter, I realize there are a few things I’ve discovered in our first year here that I truly love. Funny enough… it’s not clothes or shoes or other “stuff.” (I’ve actually donated or tossed half my clothing since leaving Atlanta. Hooray half-assed minimalism!)
The things I’m sharing today are can’t-live-without items I’ve re-ordered more than once, and a few things that have stayed with me for at least 4 years.

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.

There are 2 and a 1/2 weeks until Christmas.
Did anyone else just gasp?
It’s well past time to start thinking about gifts. For my Jewish friends, I hope you’re done because your 8 crazy Hanukah nights started yesterday!
If you’re like me, you’re trying to find the perfect gifts for the special people in your life. It’s tough! If your friends and family members are fans of fitness and/or food, I’ve got some awesome ideas for you!

Some things are embarrassingly easy.
And some are embarrassingly hard.
Today I have an easy recipe for you. Making lemonade in the blender.
Here’s the recipe: put a bunch of lemons in a high-speed blender (I’m biased towards my Vitamix) with some water and sweetener. Blend. Strain. Drink. Boom.

It’s pretty hot and humid right now in San Diego.
Feels like my Atlanta hometown!
We’ve had hot soup since Vegas has had a cold, but in the middle of the day there’s no way I could stomach it. I thought of making tomato gazpacho, but I had half a watermelon in the fridge that needed to be used. My gazpacho took a strange (but REALLY good) twist and went tropical.
