Hi!
I’m all yogaed out and my belly’s now full. Ready to call it a day!
Winding back……zipppppppppppp
Afternoon snack was a Vega Vibrancy bar. Love these. Sad that this is my last green one. I ate him during my pre-yoga walk with Emily. After Tanner and I spent 20 minutes nerding it up talking about Google, Gmail and iPhone apps for nerds.
Emily and I got in 30 minutes of talking walking. Today was her last day of culinary school and she heads to the BEACH this weekend. SO JEALOUS!
Yoga – with Sarah – was awesome. Hard work today! The opening flow – which we did twice on each side – nearly killed me. And then we did some killer bootcamp abs to end the hard part before settling down into pigeon, frog and savasana. <3 yoga. Seriously, I used to hate it. You must give hot vinyasa a try! The Floridians are even now hooked!
I decided to shower AT yoga today. Thanks to Tanner for putting in privacy shields on the shower doors so you are not giving a show to the changing room! I always hate driving home sopping wet (hungry) and then having to shower once I’m home. This new method worked well! I did have to borrow a towel though, and hate the thought of dirtying up one of my own towels for a quick rinse once a week (twice if you count my post-swim showers).
Man I am babbling!
DINNER: Thursdays are now Egg Nights!
Quinoa Fried "Rice"
- 5 mushrooms, chopped
- 1/2 a zucchini, chopped
- 1/4 a red pepper, chopped
- Garlic Gold Herbed Nuggets (sprinkle)
- Rice wine vinegar (Splash)
- Tamari (splash)
- Agave (drizzle)
- 1 egg
- ~1/2 a cup cooked quinoa
Cooked veggies in cooking spray. Added flavorings. Added egg. Scrambled. Stirred in quinoa.
Served with this hunka hunka Dakota bread!
You know how muffin tops are the best to eat? The same goes for Dakota – eating it hunk-style means you get a hellova lotta seeds in one bite!
Dessert = 3 Biscoff cookies! And Glee!
Gotta run – the world is moving on without me!

I’ve been meaning to tell you that I flew on Delta earlier this month, and those cookies are GREAT! Managed to score a couple extras on one segment. 🙂

I had a hunk of Great Harvest bread yesterday, it was the nine grain. I loved it hunk style.
Alicia says
Hey! We decided to have eggs tonight too! We did lentils, chicken sausage, and fried eggs. Fabulous!
Stacy says
That dakota bread looks great. I need to find a great harvest in Chicago.
Lauren @ eater not a runner says
I love quinoa fried rice!!
theemptynutjar says
I had a chocolate vega vibrancy bar today…their nice…too bad so expensive 🙁
Erin says
Yum, what a great combo of flavors! I’ve had some quinoa sitting in my pantry for a while now that I probably need to use soon.
Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin says
I love the idea of using quinoa for fried rice. I never thought to do that with other grains than rice but I’m sure it would work with wheat berries, barley, bulgur, etc. Great idea!
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
I hate showering at the gym but sometimes it is necessary.
Camille says
Glee was so good this week!
Hope you enjoy it!
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
I need some Great Harvest in my life!
Food Makes Fun Fuel says
I love the idea of fried quinoa! So much more nutricious than rice
M says
Grey’s Anatomy finale is the MOST exciting finale I have EVER seen….I can hardly stand it all! Crazy nervewrecking every second!!!!!!!!!!
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
Oh I loooove the idea of the quiona “fried rice!”
Jess says
I’ve been addicted to hot vinyasa the past few months. I look forward to it so much! Since it’s so easy to find cheap classes in New York, I don’t feel “guilty” for going more than once a week.
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
Yoga sounds perfect, and what an awesome dinner to refuel with. That combination is genius Kath! 🙂
Melissa Cari says
So impressed with this simple recipe! And I can’t believe how yoga has taken off among all the runners in the blog world. I wish I could find a good studio in my area. Hopefully once I move into Philly!
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
Ahhhh, Glee was good this week! And next week is going to be da bomb!!!
Yummy dinner!
Jil @ Peace, Love & Munchies says
I don’t think that bread will ever cease to amaze me. I want a Great Harvest in Boston! There is one 6.8 miles from me!!! But alas…no car. It’s such a tease! haha
Lisa @bakebikeblog says
I would never have thought to use quinoa that way…what a great idea!
Michelle @ Give Me the Almond Butter says
Yum! The fried “rice” is genius!
Melissa @ For the Love of Health says
sometimes a walk with a friend is really great! sounds so for you!
dinner looks really good!
caronae says
I had eggs tonight too. So simple, delicious, and nutritious. I was missing a hunka bread though! I need to get my hands on a nice, crusty, grainy, seedy loaf. MMM.
Happy Friiiiidddaaaay Kath 🙂
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
i would love some hunka dakota. they had some to sample when i went to great harvest, but none to buy!
Hannah says
That’s honestly my favourite kindof dinner – jsut chuck everythign in a pot and stir/cook it up together. And add in some Glee? Brilliant night!
Freya @ Brit Chick Runs says
I think you should find a bkery location in England 😛 all this Great Harvest bread looks so good! You’d have at least 1 customer 😀
Jenn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
That quinoa fried rice looks so good! Love the egg addition. 🙂

Meghann says
So we’re just ‘the Floridians’ to ya now? 😉
Sarah says
“Gotta run – the world is moving on without me!”
I feel like this a lot, too- especially lately. I think that it why I particularly enjoy reading blogs and practicing yoga; it’s my way of taking a breath in life.
Stacie @ Imperfectly Healthy says
This looks like a quick, easy, and YUMMY dinner! You can’t go wrong with mushrooms, zucchini, and red peppers in something, in my opinion!
Heather @ Side of Sneakers says
Mmm I love the sound of this dish!!
Alycia @ Fit n Fresh says
that dinner looks amazing! such a good idea, i’m making it one night this week
