The lifestyle changes I have been most looking forward to with my new job are related to health. Having more time to walk and exercise outside really helps me manage stress and improves my mood overall. I'm trying hard to adopt some new habits and eat cleaner.
So on weekends, I'm not making pancakes. I've mastered great creamy scrambled eggs and on the weekends we almost always have eggs and fruit salad and I add toast or muffins for hubs and baby girl.
Some variation on this salad has become a staple because I'm addicted to arugula. I've made the salad at least five times in the last two weeks, including for a casual Sunday dinner party. I never used to eat poached eggs, but I love them with salads. This is the super-easy method I use for poaching eggs.
And what is really changing things up is gazpacho. I've enjoyed gazpacho before but never made my own. Having it at my mother-in-law's over the summer + the arrival of my new juicer + growing my own cucumbers = inspiration. I've been experimenting with both the juicer and my immersion blender. Now, I have about 10 quarts in my freezer and have been having it every day for lunch. I'm always playing around with different versions, but I have not been adding bread, which is called for in many gazpacho recipes. Again, trying to keep in clean.
With that being said, I did make a peach blueberry crisp and honey thyme ice cream for the dinner party this weekend. But the gazpacho and salad canceled it out, right?
