1. I had seen this website years ago. But I was sucked back in the minute I started looking at the site. Young House Love is the story of a couple and the renovations they undertook on their first and second home. What they did to improve their home was absolutely incredible. I wish I had their creativity and eye for putting things together.
2. I’ve never really been a fan of elite gymnastics, but after watching all the episodes of Make it or break it, I found myself on Google looking up some famous Olympic routines. I found myself amazed at clips of Nastia Liukin’s fluidity on beam. It’s a shame that gymnasts have such short careers they are truly amazing athletes.
3. I recently actually started paying attention to my pinterest account. I find it kind of fun to make “boards” of things I find interesting. Are you on pinterest too? Add me!
4. I finally tried a version of Oh She Glow’s Lightened Up Protein Power Goddess Bowl. It was absolutely incredible. I made some changes but it’s pretty close to Angela’s amazing recipe. You should absolutely try it. It’s 100% worthwhile and delicious.

What are your Latest Obsessions?
I'm an engineer, an animal lover, a runner and an ex-rower. I like medical devices, big ships and mountains. This is my journey teaching myself to make healthy foods and explore the world of vegan and vegetarian cuisine.
I have been wanting to try this recipe too!! Hopefully soon!
I think you’ll like it!
I need to find some affordable tahini, this looks too good! Plus I’ve never cooked with speltberries.
Beets are one of my latest obsessions, haha. As is Celeb Rehab (yeah yeah, sometimes you’ve just gotta watch trashy tv), overnight oats and coconut.
Beet (raw) are among my obsessions too. And Overnight Oats with Coconut make the list too. Actually that’s tomorrow’s post.
Hmm, I’ve never tried raw beet. New mission!
Ok, Ok…..so many things to talk to you about!!
1.) I never watched Make It or Break It, but I watched that Olympic Beam routine and Nastia really was AMAZING!! I found myself jaw-dropped like it happend yesterday!
2.) Pinterest is also my new favorite obsession—besides blogging! And I’m glad we follow eachother’s boards on there too!
3.) Protein bowl looks awesome…do you like it better cold or hot? I’d like to try it this summer!
4.) Also if anyone’s looking for a new beet recipe…I’ve added my link here for my wheatberry and beet salad I made and enjoyed a few weeks ago!
