Closing in on the end of the year -- reflection time!

I've definitely kicked it up a notch or 5 at work.  I'm enjoying it, but I am not getting time to blog.  I have 4 blogs and posts are down on all of them, but it's okay.  Here I take a moment to reflect on the cooking and working out of this year.

We love "eggs." In addition to our quiche, youngest daughter, Tia, "invented" scrambled eggs.  Tofu mixed with spices (garlic, chili powder, tumeric, curry) and the black salt.  Super yum. 

I'm looking to perfect a veggie muffin this break.  I made one in the past, but I can't find the recipe that I used.  I'll keep digging. There's a chance it's on this blog here, but if not, I'll find another one/try to remember what I did. 

Over break, I'll post a link to our new favorite "turkey" dinner.  Perfect for lunch meat too.  

Made this soup last night for some friends.  I haven't made it for a while.  It's still good!  I did make the PB kind and the cashew cream kind.  It involves more pans, but at least all tummies are happy. 

Oh, I find this little list super helpful for dinner ideas.  Sometimes little lists are a big help!

Working out report (because it's the end of the year): Lots of tap! Okay on the Body Pump 1-2x every week.  Not enough Pilates.  Okay on the Hip Hop/Zumba (very aerobic) (1x a week).  Okay on the stretching.  Next year my goals include more of everything.  I'd like to do 2x a week body pump.  I am going to MAKE MYSELF do Pilates 15-20 minutes 2-3x a week.  My back is so much happier when I do.  Fifteen minutes is nothing. I just need to DO IT.  Hip Hop... If I can't do it more than 1x a week, I guess it'll be okay.  I think I can make it happen to do 2x a week by summer.  I fear I'm going to try to figure out how to stop time to make it all happen. 

Other goals: youngest daughter and I have some Pokemon goals, I want to get funding for a new bit of work.  I'll add here if I think of more.
