- Made a new recipe
- Ate lunch
- Did the dishes again
- Blogged!
So now I feel super organized and ready to move onward with my work.
But first – this lunch was awesome!! I didn’t get back from the gym until 1:30 and was pretty hungry, but I am so glad I took the 10 extra minutes to make this because it rocked!
I made what I am calling Fiesta Broccoli Dip (<—recipe) that is inspired by Heather’s Broc Guac. Somebody ate all the avocado, so I didn’t have much to work with, but I had lots of peppers, so I made it a chunky mix instead. Cilantro is the key ingredient!
I couldn’t decide between a more-filling GH bun or the more-fun Food Should Taste Good multigrain flax chips, so I had both! The Fietsta Spread was deposited on both of these delivery carbs –
And lastly, a mango and some blackberries!! I actually got too full to finish this so I am saving it for a snack.
Joanne says
Take a breath. You accomplished so much… actually, you always do 🙂
Your lunch looks fantastic.
Sarah says
That BrocGuac looks so good! I think I will try that this weekend! Thanks!
Moran (The Running Addict) says
This looks GREAT!!
You accomplished so much – way to go!
Run Sarah says
Wow sounds like a productive day! Your lunch looks SO good!
life coach jen says
You reorganized the hooks in your bathroom? I would pay for half of your organizational skills!
Rose says
OMG, you got that many things done today? So jealous! You’re super woman 🙂
Courtney (The Hungry Yogini) says
Gotta love productivity! I need to channel that and get some work done over here! Lunch looks yummers.
Leah @ Simply Fabulous Now says
Wow, quite the To-Do list you’ve accomplished so far!
Enjoy the rest of your day!
Lisa says
Broc guac – what a fantastic idea!
megan says
Your organization skills impress me! I always have big plans to get a lot done, but after work I just feel so lazy and end up reading/cooking/hanging out with my husband instead. 🙂
Sara says
That broc/guac looks great! What a delicious looking lunch!
Betsy says
I can’t even begin to compete with that list… but working full time doesn’t lend many extra minutes or energy to do so! I wish I had your schedule! 🙂
Elizabeth says
Can’t wait to try that broccoli dip – yum! Congrats on getting so much accomplished on a day off…. wish I could say the same! LOL
Shannon (The Daily Balance) says
nice work on crossing things off your list! Isn’t it an amazing feeling?
That broccoli dip looks delish! I’m definitely going to be trying this!!
sue says
wow you’re such a busy bee! off your list, i can say i’ve completed #16 🙂 and i’m pretty happy with just that. haha
Marisa (trim the fat) says
So interesting -I’ll have to try that broc dip:)
Marissa says
Yum!! Broc makes everything better 🙂
zestycook says
Kath, I feel like I did nothing compared to you. Lunch looks great 🙂
zest!
Ashley says
That dip looks awesome!
Jennifer says
It so funny, I can do the same thing. I can be a super procrastinator OR have days like yours, where you get a ton of stuff done.
I like the feeling of accomplishment of getting a lot of stuff done.
I needed to clean “my side of the bedroom” because I am the messier one between me and my hubby and I’m sure it drives him crazy that there is always a ton of stuff on the floor next to my dresser, tons of stuff on my dresser. I tackled that yesterday and in about an hour it looked fantastic! I had been thinking about doing it for son long and once I got started it wasn’t so bad! Now, my dresser is neat, nothing on the floor, I bought a cute rug and tiny lamp for my dresser. I felt a huge weight off of me!
Here’s to a continued successful day Kath!
Hallie says
That guac/dip recipe is SO creative! I’m going to try that soon as I’m just not incorporating avocado into my diet. I didn’t like it for the longest time (and living in avocado country, this was quite the sin) but I’m coming around. It’s so good for you and a great way to add healthy, filling fat to a meal! I can only handle it in small doses, so the dip sounds PERFECT to me 🙂
brandi says
looks great, but i would need more of that avocado! i gotta have a good amount of protein in my meals 🙂
rhodeygirl (sabrina) says
looks great kath!
(the completed to do list AND the new lunch!)
Kerri says
That salad looks so colorful!
Alicia says
That broc dip looks amazing… a perfect way to use up the bag I have in the fridge.
I am also amazed that you got all of the to-do list done in the morning… it takes me days to finish the simplest of tasks
Heather McD (Heather Eats Almond Butter) says
Wow Kath, you got a ton of stuff done before lunch. I love crossing things off my to-do list, especially early in the day.
I just looked at your recipe, and I must try your version soon. I bet the yogurt made it so creamy, and I agree, cilantro is definitely key.
Thanks again for the shout-out. 🙂
Tyler (Raspberry Runner) says
wow, way to be productive! can’t believe you had time to do all that AND come up with a fabulous lunch 🙂
Kiersten says
You did more in those few hours than I have done my entire day so far!
I love the picture of the mango and blackberries. It’s simple, yet so pretty.
Heather says
Way to get things done!! 😀 Bet it feels good to have all that accomplished!
What a YUMMY lunch!! That fruit looks so good, it could be fake!
Natalie says
I wish I could get all that stuff done!
Your dip looks great 🙂
Emily says
Kath,
15 to-dos crossed off before lunch is ridiculously impressive! I like to go to the gym first thing in the morning so if I can do that and take my little sis to school I’m nomally home at noon. THEN my day can begin. Hats off to you!
And I just have to say that the photography in this post looks incredible. Really, really nice. The shot of the mangos and blackberries made me want to lick the screen. Did you get a new camera?
Have a great rest of your day!
With Love,
Emily
KatieTX says
I am glad I am not the only one who bikes to the ATM!! I always feel a little silly! Great new recipe idea!

The broc guac looks amazing. I have never thought of that combination before. Adding to the list for sure.
haya (living and learning) says
i adore that feeling of super accomplishment. it is almost motivation enough for me to keep plugging away at things even when i don’t really feel like it. satisfying.
that guac looks yum! i think you win for “eating the rainbow”
The Duo Dishes says
Yes to the dip on those chips! That broccoli dip would be so tasty.
Meg says
You sure got a lot accomplished today!
That dip looks super delicious!
Kath says
Emily ,
I got a new camera in January? But I think I messed up the settings for a few days and they are back to normal. Perhaps that’s it? Thanks!
Sarah (lovINmytummy),
Oo that does look good!
Kath
Meaghen says
The mango and blackberries look so good together!
Kori says
“10. Sorted and put away the “don’t know what to do with this” pile on my washing machine”
And I thought I was the only one who had this kind of pile! hahaha! I’m jealous of your accomplishments Kath and that beautiful bowl full of green for lunch!
Susan says
“delivery carbs” – love it!! So true!
That’s quite the list!! I find I get tons more stuff done when I should be doing school work instead 😛
Michelle Hisae says
Wow you got so much done! I love those days!
I just signed up for Todoist, and I can’t wait to try it! April is going to be a “get organized/streamlining” month, so I’m so excited to use this and get started!
Kara says
sometimes i like to organize everything before i start doing my school work… it makes me feel more focused… or it’s just a really good way to procrastinate 🙂
healthy ahsley says
This lunch looks perfect! I love the mango/blackberries combo!
