5 Things To Like This Week

Spitz.

1.  Sunflower seeds in the shell.  I've been kinda addicted to these lately.  I like to think of them more as a summer food, but I just can't get enough of them lately.  I was thinking that they were terrible for me.  It seems that whatever is good, usually is.  However, when I looked them up, they aren't that bad . . . in moderation.  Sunflower seeds are high in fat, but it is the good kind and they have a ton of fiber, lots of vitamin E and protein.  Crack on!



2.  Avacado.  I like to mix #1 and #2 for added deliciousness.  Here is a quick recipe that is delicious.  Cube half an avacado, mix with 1/4 Low Fat cottage cheese, sprinkle in a tbs of shelled sunflower seeds, pop in some cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and season with salt and pepper.  Mmmmmmmm.  Lunch.  Snack.  Dinner for 1.  Yessssshhhh.

"Keeeen-waaaa".  Say it!  It's good!

3.  Quinoa is protein and grain in one!  It is perfect for meatless Moooondays.  I made this last week with chicken broth and added steamed broccoli, tomatoes, garlic, and spices!!  Who needs meat?!  Yum!

Fact:  Dudes will watch this when buying alcohol.  Tricks!

4.  The Kitten Bowl.  At first I was going to do 5 Things I've been eating lately.  But NOT KITTENS!  And this was just way too cute not to add to the list.  Funny story:  I was working the liquor store on Super Bowl Sunday and I was really busy--of course.  I had the kitten bowl on before the game.  The TV is right behind the cash register, so it's kinda the only thing to look at when you are waiting in line.  Anyway, there was a long line of ALL DUDES and they were all watching the Kitten Bowl.  Ya.  I look up and all the dudes are watching The Kitten Bowl.  Haaaaa!  Adorbs!

It's just so classy!

5.  My new tea mug!  Last, but certainly NOT least, my friend R totally made my day last week when she showed up in my office with the best present!  She got me the coolest tea mug + infuser combo from the website Tea forte.  I gotta order some of the teas from this website.  I LOVE it!  It makes the perfect cup of tea and the mug keeps the tea warm until the very last drop!  I also LOVE that!  What a sweetheart!
