I’ve had a nice weekend so far. It’s been fun because…
I’ve been enjoying the 74F and sunny San Diego weather
I went on a power walk with Scott and Skylar
I heated up the last of my Chipotle Salsa Lentils & Mixed Vegetables leftovers. Leftovers save my sanity.
And it’s been productive because…
I worked.
I cleaned. Swiffering my floors always makes me feel productive.
I did laundry.
I sat at my desk making Valentines for Skylar’s 18 friends for her Valentine’s Day party.
Each child is the lucky recipient of either a mini Crunch bar or a mini Butterfinger bar inside their Valentine.
x 18
Meaning, Skylar is likely going to come home with 18 types of candy. Sugar much?
From my last post about Being Grateful and Thankful, thanks for chiming in with all the wonderful things you’re grateful and thankful for! I love hearing those things because it reminds me, and reminds all of us, that we all have so much that is good. Which enables us to stop sweating the small stuff when we focus on all the wonderful things we all have.
Dessert: Coconut Banana Cookie Bites (Raw, Vegan, GF)
You can make these in the oven if you don’t have a dehydrator. Or don’t have the patience for your dehydrator. Ahem, that would be me lately.
Questions:
1. How has your weekend been so far? Have you done anything fun or productive?
Next up on my list is to blog about a recipe I created this morning. I was productive in the kitchen. And now I have to get productive at my keyboard.
2. How’s your weather?
I won’t rub it in that it’s been perfect here
And that the flowers are blooming and I can feel the days getting slightly longer with each passing day. I love that. Spring is maybe in the air.
3. Any big Valentine’s Day plans?
I mentioned our plans, or lack thereof, here.
Have a great V-Day Weekend!
Well I don’t mind all the weather bragging since our weather is nice this weekend too. :-) Looks like a very productive day! My sister had to create little Valentine’s gifts for her kid’s classes too stocked with toys and candy – crazy, we never got that as a kid! :-P Valentine’s day is another Halloween I guess.
1. Good, nice and relaxing.
2. Perfect, in the 60s and sunny.
3. We’re going out to dinner and having a fun, little gift exchange.

Been listening to the Great Health Debate and sharing some thoughts on my blog every other day, been trying to get things straightened out… I’m hoping to make a few chocs at least for V-day. Hope you have a happy one, and looking forward to reading your latest kitchen creation.
