Sunday, SUNDAY, Sunday!!!!!!!

"Your life is an occasion, rise to it. "

I love it. And I'm rising! Just like the yummy hunk of pizza dough in my kitchen... I'm rising because this is my one shot -- to change, to grow, to learn, to be great, to make mistakes, to everything.

You have to love Sunday's. I certainly do. They usually mean a serious spinning class followed by a leisurely breakfast and heaps of coffee. Today it has been another sunny and glorious day and I've just finished my last cup of coffee (yeah, I might be up all night.....). I had all these great plans to mow and dig and water. Yeah, not so much. But I have done all the dishes and my laundry so I count myself ahead, for now at least. I suppose I should get out there and drag the hose out. Especially since it is supposed to be HOT tomorrow. Yeah like 76 degrees. So that's not really hot but I'm sure my garden would appreciate a little TLC.

I had forgotten what a pain it is to haul out the hoses for the front garden. Sigh. Someday, I'll win the lottery and will be able to afford a proper irrigation system. Someday. Of course, this summer, life is looking a bit bleak when it comes to money and home improvements. But, I'll make it through. I always do. And somehow, I'll figure out a way to sort it all out!!!

Speaking of change and total randomness, Jenna over at Eat, Live, Run posted a pic of vegan nachos with this amazing looking queso sauce (this is the link to the recipe)made with nutritional yeast. Yeah, weird! But her yummy looking sauce and accompanying link inspired me to be brave and channel my inner veg. Alright, so I barely have an inner veg but in a commitment to eating healthier, I hauled myself to Vitamin Cottage in search of nutritional yeast. Turns out nutritional yeast is pretty darn amazing. A whopping 8g of protein per serving and heaps of B vitamins in the form of potassium. Now, I grew up in Vermont which is pretty much a dairy state and I love me some cheese (including the kind that comes in a can) so to say I was a little skeptical about this cheese sauce was an understatement. Boy was I impressed!!! I made the best nachos ever!!! I omitted the butter from this recipe with no problem. When cooked, it has the consistency of Velveeta and Rotel and tastes pretty similar to it. So if you are feeling a little adventurous, try it!!!

I also bought some spouted grain English muffins which are amazing, some almond butter and some muesli. Despite my general belief that the health food store costs more, I felt that Vitamin Cottage was quite reasonable and think I'll head there next time I need to stock up on random things the normal grocery doesn't carry.

And I was a good girl and brought my shopping bags with me!!!

Sigh, maybe there is hope for me after all........I still have a long way to rise!

Love yaz,
