1. Black coffee. Seriously? Who knew black coffee could actually taste good? I'm that person in your Starbucks who can never walk in there and just order coffee. It's usually some form of crazy ass drink with 3-4 changes to it. I'm sorry. And I'm sorry to anyone who asks me if I want anything from Starbucks if they're going. Anyways, the point of this ramble is that black coffee was never something I thought I could do. On this whole Paleo challenge thing, one of the suggestions was to drink your coffee black, and ya know what? It's actually pretty good! Last night I even got a decaf americano. Progress!

2. Me. I took a picture of myself on the way to Peterborough on Saturday and I can tell you everything I hate about it: I'm pale. I'm tired. I look chubby, etc. But you know what? My hair looks killer. I love my makeup. And I love that my eyes have gotten greener. And I really look pretty good. It's so hard to stop negative self-talk, but the only way to combat it is with positives.
3. Spaghetti Squash/Substitute Carbs. Let's talk about this. Zucchini is not really a lasagna noodle, and no matter what anyone tells you, spaghetti squash does not replace fresh homemade pasta. But sometimes it kind of tastes good. And sometimes it's actually not so bad in a dish. Promise! Funny story about this one.
3b. Side note: changing up my cooking habits made me finally pull out my fancy Le Crueset cookware that I usually hate getting down because it's so heavy.
4. Okay, we already know I love these two, but Greg wants me to post about our cats. So here are our cats spooning. Cutest thing ever. How can you not like cats? Also, we locked Pip in a closet for 24hrs this weekend. Whoops.
Black coffee, I try it, and it's only in case of emergency.
ReplyDeleteThe other thing, and I say this as your friend, you look good, period. Don't argue with me.
The spaghetti squash dish looks delicious and it counts as a vegetable so that means it would go towards my 6-8 servings of vegetables a day! I'm totally trying this!
I don't know how I actually like it but I do! It's keeping my away from Tims though because it just doesn't taste good black!!
DeleteAnd thank you, I'm trying to stop thinking I don't. It's hard to change really bad habits.
This was so. damn. good. I would eat it every day and it's packed full of good stuff with the kale!
