Nature’s Bagel Chip

April 4, 2012 by Kristin 4 Comments

Ohhh what I wouldn’t do for a lox bagel!  Love.  Well love/hate.  I love the stuff so much that I can’t stand to see a crumb wasted, so I eat it all up to the point of miserable fullness.  But since there’s no room for miserable fullness over the next five weeks, I’ll be spending this time coming up with solutions.  Lox bagel-esque solutions.

Sliced Cucumbers = Nature’s Chip Bagel Chip

If I had thought this whole thing through, I would have purchased some red onions and capers at the market.  But I didn’t.  So I merely sliced up some cukes, slathered with Tofutti “cream cheese”, and topped with slices of smoked salmon.  De-lish!

These lox cukes were a super fast weekday lunch that could also be a super fun weekend breakfast.  A feel good, super fun weekend breakfast at that!

P.S.  I snuck two workouts in today, which could be responsible for the overuse of exclamation points in this post!

The Dutchess, In Pictures

March 29, 2012 by Kristin 3 Comments

Breakfast:  Greek Yogurt

Lunch:  Artichoke Pasta with Marinara and Parmesan

Snack:  Banana Nut Odwalla Bar

Yoga!

Dinner:  Spicy Veggie Dumplings with Broccoli

 I received confirmation from the virtual world tonight that I’m kicking butt with regular yoga practices!  I’ve been averaging about two Black Swan visits per week since I arrived in Austin and I can already tell a difference in my practice.  My vinyasas are slow and strong and I can hold positions that I’ve never been able to before, like crow.  Now if I can only cut down on Easter candy and baked dairy carb bombs, I just might be ready for bathing suit season!

No More Tiff’s, In Pictures

February 29, 2012 by Kristin 4 Comments

Breakfast:  Wallaby Greek Yogurt with Honey

Lunch:  Earthbound Farm Cranberry Wheat Protein Boost PowerMeal

Snack:  Tiff’s Treats (this picture times 2.5…)

Yoga at Black Swan

Dinner:  Sushi Zushi!

 So…  Regular Tiff’s Treats deliveries at the office are ruining my healthy little weekday world.  I can’t say no.  I break off halves of cookies only to return to the kitchen minutes later to take the other half back to my desk.  I con co-workers into splitting halves so the orphaned half isn’t calling my name.  I end up eating… five halves of cookies.  Five!  Thankfully the rest of my meals today were freshtastic and Zoe’s practice tonight at Black Swan was as power as power yoga gets.  But seriously, no more Tiff’s Treats please.

Oops & Goods

February 28, 2012 by Kristin 5 Comments

Running to Town Lake Trail and then to Whole Foods = Good

Arriving at Whole Foods with no list = Oops

The downtown Whole Foods is not only new-to-me-store-layout confusing, but it’s also a total circus.  Focusing on a new recipe was impossible.  Heading to the salad bar was boring.  And whatever I was going to do I needed to do fast because it was getting darker by the second and I’m super afraid of walking home in the dark.

I supermarket sweep-ed a bunch of random good-ish sounding things and headed home.  I couldn’t help but think of how unappetizing everything looked as I was putting everything away.  But without much choice, I marinated some cukes, poached an egg, talked to my mom on speaker, and transferred cottage cheese and tabbouleh onto a plate.

The tabbouleh, cottage cheese, and cukes actually went really well together.  I scooped and mixed until it was all gone, saving the perfectly poached egg on perfectly burnt toast for last.  On my to-do list?  Perfectly poaching eggs as much as possible and making my own tabbouleh.

🔆Have you traveled this summer?🔆 Between COV 🔆Have you traveled this summer?🔆 Between COVID, buying/renovating a house, and Ez hating the car, we've stayed put. But with the newness of our neighborhood wearing off and going on 6 months of the same old stuff, we all needed a change of scenery. And quickly after arrival, I already had a list of #dosanddonts in mind for future #staycations 🙈🤓 Below are a few less-than-pro tips from our weekend. I'd love for you to share any ideas or experiences in the comments below! And if you have any recs for hotels within an hour-ish from Austin, let me know! ❤️❤️

🔆🔆🔆DO🔆🔆🔆
🔸Choose a property with hotel room doors that open to the outdoors. It was such a relief staying at a place where we could minimize touching public surfaces. 
🔸Stay in a place that is closed to the public and requires reservations for amenities. I loved being able to make reservations for the pool area and being able to keep our distance from other guests. It was stressful that the time slots we wanted were full on the first day, but it ended up working out both days. 
🔸Stay in a place that has green space. Nobody wants to stay couped up in a hotel room, so having access to nature or a grassy area is hugely helpful. 
🔸 Stay in a place that has on-site/flexible food options or is in a good delivery zone. I liked that the staff here was more than willing to bring our food out to an empty pavilion by the lawn near our room.
🔸Give extra smiles and tip generously if you're able. Many hospitality employees have been out of work and/or have reduced tips/income based on establishments operating at lower capacities. Extra tips and being friendly go a long way!

🔆🔆🔆DON'T🔆🔆🔆
🔸Visit a densely populated area. Shame on me for thinking #thedomain would be a safe place to visit, but it wasn't. Within the limits of our hotel was fine, but as soon as we walked near other businesses we could see packed patios, crowded sidewalks, and more unmasked people than I've seen since early March. Our next #minivacay will be more secluded. 
🔸Ok other than doing the opposite of the DO list, I only have one DON'T 👆🏻👆🏻

And I shouldn't have to say this, but our hotel stay/meals were #notsponsored ✌🏻

Challenge accepted 🤍🖤
#womensupportingwomen 
Nominated by @atxfitfoodie & @ambermcho - two of the most supportive women I know 🤍🖤

A long time friend of mine (@katiewyattreynolds , another strong and supportive woman) shared a post about how this challenge is "basically useless and self serving". I'm not calling her out, it just got me thinking. I also sent her a text nomination. Hugs, KT 🤗

Basically useless is super objective. What's useless to one might be inspirational to another, no? Do women inherently find self promotion challenging? I think so (I do 🙋🏻‍♀️). I saw this challenge as a gentle nudge to let a woman know that you're thinking about her, you see her, and you acknowledge her challenges (both seen and unseen). 2020 is ROUGH. Seeing these messages felt like a hug in a time when hugs aren't allowed. 

Is this challenge self serving? I'm not sure, but so what if it is? This self needs to be served from time to time - putting everything else first all the time can't be good for ya, right? 😉

Do you know any #blackowned restaurants in Austin that could use some love in the form of coverage and photos? LMK in the comments below and I'll make it a priority to pay them a visit and send over some content 📸💞
Have a friend who lives in Atlanta⁉️ Tag 'em‼️My friend @kesi_p recently launched @peachstatedrinks, a #blackowned #womanowned ATL beverage company that makes fresh brown sugar lemon-aid, and it is sooooooo good! 🍋🍋 Like the kind of good where you tell your kids that it's all gone so there's more for you 🙈 We ordered the original and strawberry lemon-aids (they'll ship!), but there's a mango lemon-aid too 🙌🏻 Check them out and make this summer extra delicious 🍹☀️ #atlantageorgia #lemonaid

And by turning our home into the ultimate giggle factory, you've made my biggest dream come true. Haven, Ezra, and I are the luckiest. We love you so incredibly much!! 💞💞

As a mother, I am fearful of so many things. But I will never understand the fear held deeply within a mother of a Black child. ⠀
My husband and I are listening. And we will continue to hear your stories beyond next week, next month, next year. Because in trying to understand your experiences, we will be able to raise our children better than with our experiences alone. They, too, will be allies because we will do the work. We will not be silent today, next week, next month, next year. ⠀

Dining outdoors has been huge (HUGE!) for us, especially the kids ☀️ ⠀
I'm beyond grateful that the outdoor dining set gifted to us by @thenovogratz arrived just in time for birthday & mother's day festivities 🎉 The table is as hip as it is well made, making us feel like we are dining on the patio of our favorite restaurant 🌿
