Goals, Pili Nut Butter Sauce & Rice, and Blueberry Vanilla Smoothie

Last week I was able to hit up all of my goals but I only did Yoga once.  This week I want to shoot for at least 2 days of Yoga.  Other goals this week include...Dehydrator Creations...at least 2 of them, at least 2 to 3 product reviews on my blogs/sites that I write for, take some fall photos before it's too late, and start something new.  WHAT?  Well, that's yet to be determined...at the very minimum it's at least starting SOMETHING new...ANYTHING! 

I think tonight I need some stress relief.  Perhaps tonight is the night I push myself for some yoga!  I really need to get caught up on some cleaning, too, but maybe I can get a few things going and do Yoga in between!

Dinner last night was flavorful and fun and I hope to do it again soon!  Or some variation of this.  I decided to do some white rice with a creative sauce.  It was a Pili Nut Butter Sauce.  Here is the recipe I threw together...

1/4 C Coconut Aminos
1/4 C Pili Nut Butter
2 T Coconut Vinegar
1 T Hemp Oil
1 T Hot Sauce




This morning I had a simple smoothie...


1 C Almond Milk
1 Scoop GoL's Vanilla Protein
1/2 C Frozen Blueberries
1 T GoL's Flax & Fruit Antioxidant Blend


I loved the color but must say I wasn't very organized with my mason jars so I had to use a leftover glass pickle jar to transport my morning smoothie to work! LOL

  2. My dehydrator has been receiving a workout. I dried a lot of the habañero peppers we had in the garden, some tomatoes and mint. I will also dehydrate some of our other garden herbs; lemon balm, cilantro, sage and perhaps some peach leaves and rose petals.

    1. Oh! Those dried peppers sound awesome! I would like to dry more herbs...this year I can do Basil and Chives - those turned out well. I think my mom has plenty of Lemon Balm so I might try that, too!

  3. Vanilla and blueberry - a winning combination!
