I spoke too soon.
One day I’ll learn to knock on wood or something.
Last week I said we were getting to some form of normalcy. HA! Till the flaming oven happened… so here we are with a disheveled kitchen, no oven, and some random food. We also have NO groceries since we were supposed to have gone to the farmer’s market Sunday. Fires really are inconvenient…
…
The (Christmas) beet goes on.
I’m so festive-feeling that even I want to slap me.
But how awesome are red pancakes in the winter?! Especially with they’re delicious and trimmed in white.
Oh… and they have a not-so-hidden healthy ingredient. Beets lend their color to these festive ‘cakes. It’s strange, yes. But I’m telling you… it’s good!
I use the new Quest vanilla milkshake protein powder in my pancakes. It’s flavor really is fantastic, and it bakes like a champ. These tasted like a beet milkshake pancake. In a good way. Really….
Total monkey.
There’s nothing more distracting than wanting to be somewhere you’re not.
Actually, I don’t really care where I am. It’s more about who’s with me. The company makes the location. Which is why yesterday I had a case of the Tuesdays.
But now it’s Wednesday. The next sunrise I see will be with Vegas. With the first Christmas tree I’ve had in 5 or 6 years. And flowers. I bought a poinsettia for the first time ever. Who am I?!

This WIAW I turned out a lot more prepared-looking than it felt! Either way, it was good.

After my morning cocktail, I ate my morning sludge. While baking a pie. ‘Tis the season!
Breakfast was a concoction I’ve been eating a lot lately. TVP and oats made with carob powder, cinnamon, chcolate liquid stevia, and an egg white. Topped with blackberries. It’s actually really good!
Arugula salad with raw zucchini, pepper, and fresh lemon juice with my Sizzlefish salmon. I really love salmon. Would it be acceptable to eat it every meal?
Shredded up no-salt deli turkey with red bell pepper and tossed with salsa, nutritional yeast, and balsamic vinegar. With one of my Apple Carrot Protein Muffins for dessert.
I was feeling a bar. Have you guys tried Think Thin bars? I think they changed formulas… for the better! I got this at Whole Paycheck Foods (obvi). That Pumpkin Spice. Get. It.
This… well… it was a little hurried. But whatever. Corn tortilla topped with red peppers, egg whites, nutritional yeast, and one tasty local #yolkporn moment.
Milkshake Greek yogurt bowl topped with popcorn, chocolate chips, and cocoa powder sauce. I used the new Quest vanilla milkshake protein powder, which I love. It was an excellent post-workout dessert.

Is it just me, or has this been the longest week ever? An. Tici. Pation. (Name that movie.)
What is your favorite oatmeal mix-in? Besides nut butter… too easy! 😉
What’s your favorite holiday decoration? I love having a real tree – they smell so good!
