Let’s Play Catch Up

Although I haven’t been posting daily, I have been photographing daily and as a result I feel like I have lots to report when I finally get back to posting.

I’ll spare you the numerous pictures I took of Colorado Rockies baseball player Troy Tulowitzki on Saturday.  Except maybe this one.

Whoa, someone needs to fix their posture but I was awestruck nevertheless.  You all know of my love for baseball 🙂

You also know of my love for Sunday breakfasts.  I made use of my mom’s frother.  It was quite fun.

Then I made myself a chai tea latte.  For free.  Take that, Starbucks.

In a New Orleans mug, of course.  Make that a Starbucks New Orleans mug.  I guess I still need you, Starbucks.

Then we made omelettes in a bag.  Say what?

Just toss your ingredients in, add two eggs, zip and place in a pot of boiling water for ~13 minutes or until eggs are done.  I think it ended up taking a little bit longer than 13 minutes.

Notice how Joey’s bag says “Joooey.”  I told you my family makes fun of the way I whine Joey’s name.

I had spinach, olives, bell pepper, scallions, cheese, broccoli and mushrooms in mine.

P.S. My entire family calls me “Sis.”  I always wonder if people are confused when they hear my parents refer to me as “Sis.”

Pancake appetizer.  Rice flour pancakes with the blueberries (and a bite already taken) and almond flour below.  They both tasted great but I think I liked the almond flour better.  I definitely stole the 3 leftover pancakes for breakfast tomorrow.

The omelettes came out in the shape of ziplock bags.  I thought it was pretty amusing.

I smothered mine in salsa and avocado before eating it.  No omelette is complete without salsa.  I’m glad my family feels the same.

P.S. I honestly have never known how to spell omelette.  I’m going with this French version because it makes me feel cultured.

After breakfast I went home and roasted veggies galore.  Really, I’m talking GALORE.

Oh wait, there’s more.

So why all the roasted veggies?  I’m taking a tip from my Mom and sister and roasting a giant batch at the beginning of the week so I’ll have some on hand.  I often always take dinner leftovers for lunch but sometimes it’s not enough to make a whole meal.  Now I can grab some veggies from the fridge and voila, a complete meal.

They also make a great sandwich.

In the sandwich:

• Steamed beats
• Yellow squash
• Zucchini
• Goat cheese
• Kale pesto

Perfect yoga fuel!

There’s been a new addition to our family.  My mom came home today with a four month year old dachshund. <— I have to look up the spelling every time…

She is SO TINY.  Pictures to come, I promise 🙂

For now, what’s your vote on her name?

• Penny — because she’s copper colored
• Nola — as in New Orleans Louisiana (NO, LA)
• Andy — short for Andouille, which is a cajun sausage and she’s a sausage dog

All quite creative I think.

Happy Monday!
