Another edition of Things I’m Loving right now!
I am so happy it’s Friday. This week has been just weird. Work has been tough – which can be inspiring, but it can also wear me down. I’m ready for some days off.
What the fuck is millet? Isn’t that mouse feed? You know the corn cob looking blocks you get for a hamster? Perhaps? BUT, I recently found these millet tots and I love them. They are like grown up healthy versions of tater tots, I can get down with that. They come in a few variations – King Soopers/Kroger has them plus all my local health food stores including Whole Foods. I just am digging them in my breakfasts with eggs and some green chili. *drools
Plus Colorado made!
Being a Vega fanboy takes a lot of time and energy without any the glory of free items, but I’m still a huge Vega fanboy. These hydration mixes aren’t new to me, but I find that as it continues to be hot I need the something extra to put electrolytes back in. I love the to-go packets the most – I can add them to any water bottle and they aren’t too sweet or leave gross after taste in my mouth or Nalgene. Come in berry and lemon-lime flavors!
Podcast – The Secret to Victory
To say I’ve been tested at work lately has to be one of the biggest understatements I’ve made this year. It’s part of the reason I love my job – I’m challenged all the time. It can be hard to deal with misses and failures though, that shit doesn’t fit into my straight A living lifestyle (yes I still grade myself). I loved hearing how these athletes got through it and ultimately got so much better. The premiere episode is about Peyton + Eli Manning’s rookie years, pure gold. Did you know Peyton still holds the record for most interceptions for a rookie? He hopes someone new will break the record for him soon.
Instant Pot + Paleo Cooking with your Instantpot
First things first, I have wanted an Instantpot for over 2 years. I technically have one since my autocanner is an electric pressure cooker, but that’s not really meant for the same kind of cooking the Instantpot is. What is the Instantpot? It’s an electric pressure cooker – surprise! I haven’t done any cooking with a pressure cooker – as a kid my grandma had one, but I guess I never paid attention to the foods she’d cook in there.
At any rate. I finally splurged (aka used an Amazon gift card) and bought this one. I’ve used it every day for the past 10 days. From haricot vertes, spaghetti squash, and chicken tika masala – I have been loving it! I made green chili in 30 minutes in there on Monday and it was so great. I got this book (I’m dairy free now). The chicken tika masala is the best we’ve ever had.
I’d highly recommend both the pressure cooker and the book!
Well hope everyone had a better week than me. I’m heads down on a secret project that I can’t wait to share, but I noticed I never blogged about my quilts from the holidays so you’ll see those soon!
Happy Friday!
