It has been so brutally hot lately, cooking has been almost out of the question. The sensation of walking into a perfectly air-conditioned house from the stiflingly thick summer air is one of the best feelings in the world. What can ruin that wondrousness? A hot kitchen eating up all of my cool air.
This may be true, but I’d prefer my fat not to cry while I enjoy the AC after work.
Aloha! It’s been a while since my last post, and for that I apologize! I can explain though… I’ve been absolutely EXHAUSTED! Between working, getting up early and going to bed early, and squeezing every available moment out of my weekends to feel like I am simultaneously accomplishing important things and having fun, I’m shocked I have time to eat let alone plan a weekly Paleo menu!
Amen, sister.
¡Buenos Días! I went to my local farmer’s market last night to pick up a few things and was quite ashamed that I didn’t immediately respond to the cashier in Spanish as she commented on the large size of the apples I was purchasing. I used to be able to think, write, and speak Spanish without a moment’s notice. Now, I’m lucky if I can mutter more than a phrase about how I am out of practice because I have no one to speak it to at home. Quite a crime, actually. In any case, I proceeded to listen to the Spanish station on my way home in the car to make up for my lack of practice. I struggled through the commercials and eventually gave up on my mental translation to call my boyfriend. Ah, such is life I suppose. So in honor of my severely lacking Spanish skills, I give you CARNE ASADA!
Here we are, another weekend gone and another week begins! Here’s a quick and easy recipe with great Asian flavor!
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I get tired of burgers. Turkey burgers, beef burgers, pork burger… Sick of them. So I decided to live on the wild side and try something new: Salmon cakes! Not quite burgers, but they definitely fit the bill for a nice portable lunch! Another plus is that they didn’t stink up the lunch room when I warmed them up. Thank goodness! I would hate to be that person, because that person sucks.
Alooooooooooooooha! I love short work weeks. It’s like you have more motivation to be a good employee because you’ve (a) been away from work for more than 2 days and (b) the weekend is already a day closer to being here! Since summer is upon us, the days are getting longer giving you the feeling that you actually have more time to enjoy your day despite the obviousness that you must be asleep by 10pm to wake up like a functioning human-being at 6am the next day. No? Just me? Alright then. In that case, here’s to making daily tasks easier so you can at least enjoy a few minutes of the longer, lighter evening.
I feel like I’m getting good at planning and making my Paleo lunches for the workweek! No longer does Sunday appear as a daunting tower of endless to-dos striking fear into the hearts of procrastinators across the universe. With some planning and a little organization, Sundays can now run smoothly and even leave me with some time to relax.
Happy Memorial Day weekend! On a long weekend full of BBQs and fun, I have the EASIEST side dish for you to bring to a get together or carry right out into your backyard!
My Paleo journey has been very challenging since I’ve started my full-time job. Work-week lunches have become all about planning!
Happy Cinco de Mayo! After an eventful Star Wars Day (May the fourth be with you!), are you ready to have a fiesta?
