Part Time Perfectionist

I took over 150 photos yesterday. Too bright, too dark, too bright, too dark…ahh! It’s driving this quasi-perfectionist (me) crazy! I say ‘quasi’ because there are parts of my life in which I am very UNperfectionistic. For example, when it comes to things like the cleanliness of my room . I’m a part-time perfectionist!

I spent a long time behind the camera lens yesterday taking photo after photo after photo. There were a lot of ughhhhs muttered. I had to constantly remind myself that it will take time to learn the functions of the camera. A lot of practice. Trial and error. Uh huh, uh huh!

Galaxy Granola sent me samples of 2 new flavors set to release in June: Maple Pecan Quinoa (just for me, right?) and Hint of Honey. I had 1/2 a pouch of the MPQ before my ‘run’ yesterday.

I ran 1.5 miles before turning around and walking home. I have yet to run a relatively long distance at home! I think it’s a function of not being stressed out and missing the WaDuke Trail!

Afterwards, I enjoyed a Green Smoothie. I forgot to turn off the white balance setting so the photos came out blue-ish. Oopsies.

In the mix:

• 1/2 scoop Alive! Shake
• 1 scoop Green Superfood
• 1/2 cup 1% milk
• 1/2 banana
• A few spinach leaves
• Water ‘n’ Ice

Then I walked to the bank and Trader Joe’s for a mini-stock up.

Despite being a hungry hippo, I managed to make some 3 Ingredient Oat Flour Crepes. I haven’t made these since I invented the recipe…I’m not sure why! These are super quick and easy.

The cooking took little time. The photographing….um not so much!

I added cinnamon, vanilla extract and stevia to the 3-ingredient-batter.

I filled ‘em up with yogurt (whole milk+TJ’s Euro), raspberries, cottage cheese and chocolate shavings.

My Momma came home from work early so the three of us went out to play some tennis.

Yes. I brought my camera. I figured I could take some photos if I got bored/tired. I did, as you can see.

I whipped up a super quick salad for dinner.

• Spring Mix + Romaine
• Avocado
• Goat Cheese
• Cherry Tomatoes
• Cukes
• Grilled TJ’s 3-Grain Tempeh
• Sesame Ginger Dressing

My first and only purchase of tempeh was this TJ’s brand. I wasn’t impressed at the time because it had a funky flavor. However, ever since ordering tempeh from Sunflower Vegetarian Restaurant I’ve actually been craving the funky flavor.

I’ve acquired the tempeh taste!

Dessert:

Homemade Berry Sorbet

• 2/3 cup frozen mixed berries
• 3 TBSP yogurt
• Splash of water and some crushed ice

Whirled in the Magic Bullet

I also had a slice of millet bread with 2 TBSP sunflower seed butter AND a pouch of Galaxy Granola.

LOVE-LAY!
