Thoughts from a Thursday

Cooking Life Ramblings

-I’ve been eating bowls all week – farro bowl with veggie burger, rice bowl with chickpeas and curry sauce, pasta bowl with chicken sausage and red sauce, and a quinoa bowl with Mexican toppings (sidenote: I took home some of the salsa from Blue Mesa Grill that was served at the party and it is the absolute best I’ve ever had!! I must get more!)

-The daffodils are blooming in Dallas and temps are warming up. Was that winter? If so, easiest winter ever. Also, daylight savings is kinda soon!

-Do you guys have water drinking tips? I’m in a rut and need something new to motivate me. I’m trying to talk Matt into getting a soda stream.

Sarah Jessica Parker is coming to Dallas! I’m sure it will be packed, but would be fun to go.

-TJ’s now has coconut cashews! They sure make a salad feel tropical.

-This computer is going to die any day now. If I stop posting, you’ll know why…

The weekend is here!!!!

    Seltzer is a great way to drink more water because there’s so many flavors!

    I just force myself to drink one glass of water with every cup of coffee/glass of pop I down. Also, I use straws, because I find that I drink more water with a straw.

    Have you been to Austin? My husband has an interview there and I’m skeptical about the whole Texan thing.

      Not sure what you mean by the whole “Texan” thing, but if there is one city you should be unafraid of in that state it’s Austin. The best city in Texas 🙂

      I hope you get to visit sometime.

        As a died-in-the-wool midwesterner who did not like living in Nashville, everything south of Chicago is scary to me. 😛

      I have been, and like most people I’ve met who have visited, I’m obsessed! I think it has more of a city feel than Nashville and is much prettier because of the lake. It’s got that same quirky/music/almost hippy vibe with a little country/Texas mixed in. I’d LOVE to live there! It’s much more ‘Texan’ than Dallas though..

    You look like quite a good home baker- sideline business? 😉
    Also those bowls with stuff all glopped in look so unappetizing, but I am sure they taste good. Your food looks 100x more appetizing that kath’s.

    Get a new water bottle. I just got a stainless steal Klean Kanteen, and I loooooove drinking from it! I think water tastes better out of it, too 🙂 Also, I enjoy seltzer water. My friend got one of those Sodastream and just uses it to make seltzer water, I’m so envious of it!

      I should get a stainless one! I made the mistake of getting a glass water bottle recently, and I’m always afraid I’m going to break it!
