crabby Kat's Journal, 23 April 2014

Well, at least my weight gain slowed. :o) I'm fine, looking forward to my upcoming challenges, and to being back on FS more regularly. I miss you when I'm not here, and I know I've missed out on a lot of action in my buddies lives.

I'm at my apartment, using my old computer instead of my laptop. Amazing how I miss this older style. This computer was state-of-the-art when I bought it in 2003; I had an IT person check it out not long ago. She was surprised at what a good, solid computer it was, and after cleaning up a few things, told me there was no need to buy a new one if I was happy with this one. Of course, she had a hard time understanding why I wouldn't want a new one, anyway, being the tech nerd that she is. Cool tech nerd, if you see this, J.!

I made some granola, honey pistachio, that I haven't entered in my cookbook yet. It is full of pumpkin seeds, oats, and pistachios, honey, walnut oil, and a touch of salt. I'm sure its calorie dense, but in a healthy way. I only eat small amounts, recording it under a pumpkin flax granola I like to eat when I don't make my own. OMG it is so good! I had better record the recipe soon, to get a clearer picture. My cherry almond coconut granola has been entered (I didn't re-enter it when I made it blueberry hazelnut); my partner likes that the best, so I'll make a version of it soon. Hmm, with diced dried pineapple and papaya?

I have a Clean Eating cookbook I received as a gift. I'm looking forward to trying some of the recipes in it soon. If you know me, you know I love to cook. Baking is my first love, but there's something of alchemy in the science of shopping and chopping, mixing and measuring,turning the perfect ingredients into the perfect adventure for the tastebuds.

Side note; healthy sweets are for moderate consumption! If you follow a blogger like Chocolate Covered Katie (amazing healthy recipes), her Healthy Oreo Cookies are indeed healthier, but are so calorie dense that you should give them to friends after you eat one or two. Vilma wants me to make them again; guess I'd better enter the recipe in my cookbook. The filling is made with coconut butter, powdered sugar, & vanilla extract. When it sets up, I could eat it plain. OOPS, did I just type that out loud, lol? Guess the coffee is kicking in.

I'm missing Zumba with Gina Grant this morning, to be here for a meeting. Sigh. I'll dance with Amie & others tomorrow, instead. I'll ride the bike later today. Guess I'd better get moving.

See you soon.

Zumba today was awesome & it was a really good day. Zumba tomorrow morning, and I'll make it another successful day.
