OMG. OMG. OMG. This is so awesome! How lucky to have found such a cool thing to be a participant in!? Go  here  and get a penpal yourself! DO IT. I came home from a week of working in Fort McMurray to find a delivery notice! I didn't even take my shoes off before jumping in my car to head to the post office to pick it up! I even opened it in my car. My foodie penal - Amy from New Brunswick is wicked! She was so thoughtful and considerate in what she chose for me. She read my blog and found out I was working on a half marathon so sent me things that were friendly in fueling me towards my goal! Check it out!  A Recipe adapted from  http://ohsheglows.com/  for Overnight Oats. Maple Syrup Bob's Red Mill Organic Oats Chia Seeds and some cool facts about them! Honey Stinger Energy Chews Penpal present = Made my day! I'll post when I make the recipe! I got an email this week from my foodie penpal match in Ontario! Go to her site  http://www.joc...

You should join - really... for real - join! Go  here . Who doesn't like food and who doesn't like surprises in the mail!?  3. I went to yoga because I could hardly sit, walk or stand without my hips screaming at me from my run yesterday and it made me feel better.  4. I made a delicious dinner of Coconut Crusted Salmon, Sauteed Spinach and Cauliflower Mash. DELICIOUS!  Last night, I went a little nuts. I even made my BFF come over and pick up food because it was out of control. I sent her home with Black Bean Brownies, Butternut Sq...

Today, there was no leaping for me! I am was tiiiiirrrreeeedddd - and for not a very good reason. I stayed late to work, but then, I started to research food processors and waffle irons. Yes, I am overtired today but I was doing market research for kitchen items. By the end of the weekend - I will own both, if not at least one. I feel that a processor is a key. How I've lived this long without one, I am not even sure. So, some very exciting new for me today! I follow this blog: http://www.peanutbutterandpeppers.com/  through Facebook and she had this fantastic post about signing up for a "Food Penpal" Yup! That's right. It's true.  I can't wait, but a little nervous because that means people are going to read this. People that are outside of the "exclusive" membership! But, this is good because it means I have to keep up on this! YAY!  Tonight, I thought I might talk about my weekday food experiences.This week is special, per say because I ...
