Coconut milk, hair, and winner

Happy Sunday!

Hope you’ve been having a great weekend. Mine has been lovely and fairly productive. I tend to fall off of the face of the blogging earth for most of the weekend so if you all wonder why I’m not “around” it’s simply because it’s the weekend : )

Breakfast

Lately, the star of my oats has been this … So Delicious Coconut Milk Kefir.

My grocery store recently started carrying it and I had to give it a whirl. It’s really thick, almost like a thin yogurt.  By itself, it tastes a little strange and with cereal, I found the taste to be questionable. However, putting a splash in my oats makes them perfect! It thickens them up just right and adds almost a tangy sweet flare.

And the good thing about coconut milk is that it doesn’t spoil right away like cow’s milk! 

Dogs

Lately, I just can’t help but take tons of pictures of my dogs … Adrian (Husky) and Bubba (Akita) are always so photogenic. Rocky (German Sheppard), however, is not! Ha, whenever I try to take a picture of her she jumps up and mauls me and tries to stick her nose on my brand new camera’s lens and in my face.  So in case you were wondering, we DO actually have three dogs, but Rocky most of the time goes unpictured due to her hyper tendencies.

New “Do”

Here are a few pictures of my new hair just as I was about to jump on the treadmill. I decided to keep the purple and add some blonde. (I have missed my blonde hair horribly! I don’t think I’ll go all over dark anymore).

Dinner

As I stated the other day, I haven’t been doing much cooking lately and I’ve missed it! Last night I actually cooked a little bit and it was fun even though I didn’t do much.

We had chopped Smart Chicken chicken breasts cooked in a skillet with onions and zucchini seasoned with Mrs. Dash garlic and herb, sea salt, pepper, Italian seasonings and some red wine vinaigrette.

With some peas … (I love peas … when I was little I used to eat them frozen straight out of the freezer:)

And Erik had his dinner with a baked potato.  I skipped out on heavier carbs last night due to abnormally large carb consumption during the day ; )

Winner

Last but not least, I received a package in the mail on Saturday …. it was from a giveaway I won from Jody at Truth 2 Being Fit. The bag comes from madBaggage which an an eco-friendly, vegan handbag line. I won the large tote. (And it is large … I love it!) I’m always carrying around huge purses so this was perfect for me ; ) 

Included inside was a mini reusable tote.

Thanks again Jody and madBaggage!! : )

We just took our Christmas card picture so for the rest of my Sunday afternoon, I plan on getting some more Christmas shopping done and getting our Christmas cards ready.   Ahhh … I love this time of year! : )

How has your weekend been going?
