Donnas crazy hungry world

31 Aug

Welcome to my world of crazy

Its all about the food today because its Jens What I ate Wednesday friends – and I’m sharing my whole day around the food, not just the eats!

Ready

Set

GO!

2:00am- Pee

Blueberry spinach smoothie with jam

5:00am – Think “Oh dear god, why did I drink a smoothie at 10pm last night”

5:01am – Pee

5:20am – Dave mentions, and by mentions I mean wakes me up to tell me, he has a headache

5:21am – I offer to get up with him (he has been up since 5 to get ready for work) and make him tea

5:22am – Can’t believe Dave really made me get up to make him tea

5:35am – Eating breakfast while perusing blogs and trying to block out Sportscentre on the tv, is baseball season over yet? Seriously :P

Natures Path Acai Granola with a few cinnamon puffins and blueberries and peach


6:00am – Say bye to BF think about being productive but spend an hour uploading photos to the blog instead, why does it take me soooo long???

7:00am – Take Sydney for a walk around the neighbourhood and sing her the potty dance (featuring such classics as: potty like its 1999, rock this potty)

7:23am – Get sweet text from Dave thanking me for getting up and making him tea

7:24am – Take back all the rotten things I said about Dave for making me get up before daylight to make him a drink he knows full well how to make ;)

8:30am – Arrive at work wondering if its too early for lunch? Eat veggies and chickpeas instead, consider them pathetic foreplay, I want lunch

I ate veggies before photo, my bad!

10:30am – Start hallucinating my water glass on my desk is actually full of Oatmeal… Sadly it is not, I checked

11:30am – Pout at my desk because my lunch is an hour away still, I’m soooooo hungry, feel that I look eerily similar to Lindseys Hungry Monster

12:30pm – Run out of the branch (as fast as 4 inch heels will let me that is)

12:50pm – Sit on couch cradling last bowl of stew from yesterday and whispering sweet nothings into its … err…. rim

Sparkling water with a touch of lime juice and you know a grub called gordon :)

1:20pm – Back in my office reminising about all the fond memories the stew and I had together

1:21pm – Wonder when I should have snack time?

2:15pm – Give in and have snack, consider if perhaps I have tape worms?

4:00pm – Drink Granola (I have provided a visual for you)

5:00pm – Go to Physique 57 and count down the squats and plies till its time to go home and make dinner

6:15pm – Feed the doodle, feel a little envious she never has to prepare her dinner!

7:35pm – Text Dave a whiny “Are you almost home cause i’m HUNGRY”

7:40pm – Dave comes home to me shoveling my face with dinner, he pats my head and tells me its okay

Tofu sausage topped with salsa and green onions on a wholewheat roll

Kale salad which i found very... salady?

8:00pm – Raid cupboard for something for dessert, have no motivation to make something so settle on dried mango and herbal tea and whine that Dave gets Nibs (which i hate) while i eat dead fruit and tasteless tea :P

8:05pm – Forgive Dave and snuggle up with him and Sydney for the drama that is the Bachelor Pad, i spend half the showlooking away from the tv, the awkwardness of the show radiates from the screen yet we can’t stop watching!

10:00pm – Bed time, fall asleep with dreams of breakfast dancing in my head :)

Did ya know?

17 Aug

I love fun facts

Am i the only one that saw this at the theatre?

Like really really love information that most people don’t really care about

My little blonde head is full of them

Now if only I could fit in some necessary information instead of Who Starred in the 1994 movie My Father, The Hero (pssst it was Katherine Heigl and Gerard Depardieu)

We all know the kitchen is my fav place to hang out, make disasters and occasionally put together amazing food

So how bout we put those two things together?

And talk about

FUN FOOD FACTS!

source

  • To keep blocks of cheese fresher longer, wrap them in aluminum foil instead of plastic wrap. It will help prevent mold.
  • Extend the shelf-life of cottage cheese by storing it upside down in its container.
  • If you love the taste of garlic, push it through a garlic press before adding to the rest of your ingredients. If you like a milder taste, chop or slice it. Pressing garlic makes the taste of garlic much stronger because there is more surface area of the garlic exposed. Also, be sure to add garlic towards the end of cooking when sautéing so you don’t burn it and turn it bitter.
  • Soak diced or sliced raw onions in ice water for 15 minutes to make them less pungent – ideal when adding to salads or sandwiches and you don’t want an overwhelming onion bite.
  • To make rich and creamy scrambled eggs or omelettes, beat in a couple of spoonfuls of sour cream, softened cream cheese or heavy cream.
  • To reheat pizza without creating a soggy mess in the microwave, heat it in a non-stick skillet on top of the stove over medium-low heat until warm. You may need to put the lid on the skillet to melt the cheese.
  • If a bell pepper has three bumps on the bottom it is sweeter and better for eating raw. If it has four bumps on the bottom, it is likely firmer and better for cooking.
  • For super-simple deviled eggs, put cooked egg yolks and additional ingredients in a zip-top bag and seal. Mash until well combined. Slice one of the tips off of the bottom of the bag and squeeze mixture into the cooked egg white shells. Clean up is easy – just throw the bag away.
  • To reheat refrigerated bread products, like loafs, biscuits, pancakes or muffins, and keep them soft, reheat in the microwave with a cup of water. The water will keep the them moist and help them reheat faster.
  • To make a quick, minty-fresh frosting, melt Andes mints in a double boiler, stirring until smooth, and pour over warm brownies or ice cream.
  • Make the most of your holiday hard-candy, like candy canes, by chopping them up and using them in desserts and hot drinks. Add chopped candy to brownie and cake batter before baking. Stir it into hot coffee and cocoa, letting it melt before drinking. Sprinkle over ice cream or frosted cakes. Add it to preserves for a berry minty treat.
  • When you get home from the store, separate bananas from the main stem. They will not ripen as quickly. And to avoid having strings on a banana when you peel it, take the peel off from the bottom – the primates do it that way.
  • To double your frosting for cakes and cupcakes, whip store-bought frosting with a mixer for a few minutes or until it doubles in size. Not only will you be able to frost more desserts, you will end up eating less sugar, fat and calories per serving.

Now you know what else is a fun food fact?

What I ate Wednesday is a party about ALL the food you ate in a day, not just a meal, oops sorry Jen ;)

Lets get it right this week shall we? Here goes…


Breakfast

Poached egg on spinach on earth balance coveed naan warmed in the grill, sooooooo good!

Tea for Two! I start every morning with a cup of tea, its just the british thing to do :)


Lunch

Leftover brown rice topped with pickled beets, apples and feta cheese - loved the flavours together!

Dinner

Salad topped with chipolte pork, black beans, cheddar cheese, lime juice and home made hot sauce chipolte dressing


Dessert

No snacks today because i knew i was having this last (tear!) piece of cheesecake for dessert after zumba, click the photo for the recipe :)

Hope you liked the fun food facts friends (say that 5 times fast!)
Seeya tomorrow for thirsty Thursday – it might be 28 degrees out but I’m thinking fall drinks already!

It’s okay, i’m on vacation!

3 Aug

So I was off of work for 11 glorious days

i promise my grimace has something to do with the 4 inch heels i thought it was a good idea to wear to Home Outfitters :P

(insert sob at having to return to work yesterday here, I’m not being funny here I’m really crying into a hanky, us brits cry in polite style :) )

Having to go back make me realize I am a totally different person when I’m on holiday

First of all I’ll let you know what I look like during a normal work day: I’m always wearing ridiculously high high heels, I look like I recently mugged a banana republic store clerk and my hair is shiny and face is blemish free (thank you mac makeup!) and I mostly consume ridonkulously healthy food and have to bar myself from the lunchroom table that more often then not has high calorie treats gracing its surface

But on vacation…

Oh on vacation….

The real Donna comes out

Make up remains in the drawer (or packed in a box only to be located 20 minutes before I go back)

look ma: no makeup! i do not look impressed here, i think this was in the middle of a i hate boxes tantrum

Showers don’t usually happen till about 3pm or so and then its perfectly acceptable to bring a book and a beer with you and make it a bubble bath

My wardrobe does not consist of anything but Lululemon (I’m not kidding I even have lululemon underwear) – except for that one time we got dressed up for a date and then we ended up in the vets office talking about poo and vajayjays

Don't ask what i'm doing with the ketchup, us bloggers are a quirky lot :)

Flipflops are my greatest fashion accessory and i only wore them half the time
We eat at places with the word “Camp” in the title, and other places that have super heros on the front of their menus – neither place served vegetables unless you count pickles and I certainly don’t

For someone who normally crams nine million things into one day it becomes perfectly acceptable to take a nap at 2pm and then drive to the beach an hour away only to stay for about 20 minutes because the bugs are biting and the water is cold – purchase a mars bar at a sketchy looking store and drive home muttering about it’s the journey not the destination that counts

Oh Turkey point, you may be pretty but Long point has my heart! (these are the names of our beaches, welcome to ontario!)

Weird right? Totally amusing and sketchy at the same time!

The gym becomes a foreign concept until your friend texts you and says BE THERE and you end up happy you went, your belly full of potato chips (perfect fuel to unpack boxes imho) disagrees with you

In summary, its nice to relax

  • yourself
  • your clothes
  • your lifestyle
  • your hygiene ;)

So now you know I am probably at work as you read this cursing having to wear mascara and uncomfortable shoes you might be wondering what I’m eating???

That’s a great question because today is WIAW – I’m taking part in Jens party yet again because, simply, she rocks!

Breakfast: If we are going to be honest (which i always am on here) this…

You know you want some! I prefer the plain kind but since BF went into an actual grocery store to buy these i'm shutting my gob and sprinkling my frozen blueberrys to happy tune :)


Snack: Leftover dinner party veggies in a bag and fruit

If nothing is growing on them i deem them 100% acceptable to eat!

Lunch: Buffalo breaded chicken on a salad with mango chipotle dressing! Staceys naked pita chips on the side

Worlds can't describe this chicken, i will post recipe asap :)

Snack: Spicy BBQ Kale chips I made yesterday {click here for recipe}

Yummmmmmmers

Dinner: Honey Baked beans – with unpictured scrambled eggs and toast (breakfast for dinner holla, recipe at end of the blog!)

There is no way to make baked beans look sexy :P

(INSERT SWEATY ZUMBA CLASS HERE!)

Dessert: Small lemon square the size of my hand, cut into smaller pieces to make me feel better bout the sugar coma – i’ll blog this recipe soon  :D

I deserved those lemon squares after all that booty shaking

And by the end of the day I was a stinky, sweaty, tummy full mess, aaahhhhh reminds me of that one time, when i was on vacation :)

Honey Baked Beans

Inspired by Oh She Glows Maple Baked Beans
 

Ingredients

  • 3 cans of navy beans
  • 1 medium sweet onion
  • 1 small can of tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup of raisins
  • 4 Tbsps of molasses
  • 3 Tbsps honey (recipe called for maple syrup, i couldn’t find mine!)
  • 2 Tbsps yellow mustard
  • 2 Tbsps of apple cider vinegar
  • Dash of salt

Directions

1. Throw it all in a crock pot and cook on high for 4 hours, or cook on stove, either or :)
2. Enjoy with whatever you want – BF keeps asking for beans and weiners, lol!


Seeya tomorrow lovelies!!!

Opa Oppulance

20 Jul

Its time to join Jens WIAW party!

Todays has a theme

Dun dun dunnnnnnnn

What Greek food I Made (and then ate) in the Kitchen with my family!

So seriously Dave and I have had SO much fun living with my parents

I know I know, its not cool to say you like hanging out with your folks

But its been such a blessing to have had this month with them

We’ve drank multiple rum & cokes on the deck, agonized over appliances, fought over their obnoxious fridge (it beeps at me incessantly) and watched some bad movies!

And i’m not saying this all just because they have a fruit cellar full of all kind of fun goodies

Or that i’m hoping they give us a box of dairy milk chocolate as a house warming gift (cough, cough, blatant hint, blatant hint)

Its been a blast and I hope they know how much we appreciated their taking us in – even under the pressure of having to make room for us in the kitchen (what can I say, I travel heavy)

So on Saturday while Dave was at a baseball tournament I decided to just hang out with my family and relax because we all know i’m going to be a giant stress ball (nice way of saying i’ll be a giant witch with a b) this upcoming weekend so fun and relaxation in the kitchen was in order!

So this is what we created – a Greek Themed Dinner

You know i love Greece – 2008″ href=”http://lifeofahappyblonde.com/2011/01/17/greece-2008/”>Greece, its lovely that a lot of my memories growing up take place in several Greek islands, from lemon trees to donkeys and consuming honey donuts wandering the streets, my family was lucky enough to travel this beautiful country several times before we jumped the pond to Canada, so its no surprise we all LOVE greek food!

Rest Assured there was lots of Feta & Garlic involved…

Greek Dip to start
{click here for recipe}

Followed by Greek Chicken Wraps with salad on the side
(note the ridiculous amount of feta? Me and feta are likethis)
{click here for recipe}


Dessert was Cheesecake (not really greek, please get over this fact, because honestly who cares – its cheesecake) topped with Home made peach sauce and that’s the recipe i’m going to share today!

L Family Summer Peach Sauce

Ingredients

4 Fresh Peaches (the photo below might be of a nectarine, don’t judge)
1/2 cup of maple syrup
2 Tbsp of butter
1 tsp of ginger
1 ready made cheesecake because you are too lazy to make your own
1 bottle of mikes hard blueberry lemonade – to drink while you are cooking, cooking is way more dangerous fun when you are drinking, my mum said it was okay!

Directions

1. Peel and slice peaches minding your fingers after that hard blueberry lemonade
2. Saute in melted butter and cook for 2 minutes
3. Add in maple syrup and ginger and cook for  another 2 minutes


4. Enjoy with your lovely family and treasure this time you have together, then maybe go and raid that pantry before moving day on Friday ;)

Bites and Bits

13 Jul

Hi friends!!!

I know the title sounds like it should be Bits and Bites

But that would make you think i came up with a cool healthy recipe for Bits and Bites

And alas i did not

Fabulous idea though, thanks – i’ll ponder that for a bit and come up with something tasty for ya!

Anyway just wanted to clear that up, i’m always honest with you lovely blog readers

Okay now we have sorted that out

This post is all about the bites i ate and the bits in between because…

Its What I Ate Wednesday!!!


And i’m summarizing my eats hour by hour for you

Its knicker gripping stuff :)

7am – wake up to tummy growling, at first think its the dog, then realize nope, thats your tummy making that god awful sound

7:30am – make scrambled eggs on toast, well on toast for me, Dave prefers his eggs beside his toast, yes BF has quirks too!

9:00am – head out for a schweaty run with the doodle, drink water from camelbak to stay hydrated attempt to be a human fountain to give the doodle water, she just looks at you like you are weird and wanders off to sniff something

9:45am – return from run and make vanilla peach green monster, have photo shoot with it in the backyard, wave to neighbours like its totally normal for you to be photographing green drinks on a Tuesday morning

12:00pm – eat  goat cheese salad with poppy seed dressing you sweet talk BF into picking you up after he drops you off at work, you might have sent him about 3 texts on exactly what salad to get, grocery stores are like mazes to him and he gets lost regularly

Photographed on the ledge of my window at work, customers in the parking lot thought i was craaaaazy

2:00pm – fantasize about cookies during weekly sales meeting, come thisclose to sighing out loud at the thought of gingerbread

3:00pm – eat an apple and pout it doesn’t taste even a little bit like a cookie

5:00pm- pick up a vegetarian and cheese sandwich at local cafe, get mad they forgot the spread which is the yummiest (and highest calorie and therefore best) part, drink the vitamin water BF lovingly gets you (partly to shut you up as you keep whining about headache)

Half eaten to prove authenticity!

8:00pm – come home and make cookies, just to shake things up create brand new recipe and throw caution to the wind by making a double bath without even knowing if they will taste good… i’m a rebel like that (i’m also greedy)

Oh holy yummm, these are my new favs!!!

9:00pm – eat cookies and say a little prayer to the cookie gods because they are to die for

9:05pm – sit down and write the recipe for my lovely blog friends

9:06pm – ask dave to hold you down if you try to get more cookies, that double batch aint gonna last long!

9:07pm – wonder why you sound southern in last line? Too many True Blood episodes i think

The Best Oatmeal Raisin Vegan Cookies

Ingredients

Forgot the sugar for picture time, i usually forget something, i blame being blonde!

1 cup of whole wheat flour (just under 1 cup)

Ch-ch-ch-changes

6 Jul

So I’m sure you are wondering

Why the move Donna?

Well cause I didn’t think moving my home twice a month wasn’t enough stress

Thought I would move my entire blog as well!

Seriously though

Blogger was not super user friendly

Things like the crash a few months ago and the complete inability to line up photos properly made me curse the platform more then once

And then there was the title

It was a little limiting

Sure I Love to Love (my man, the doodle, family etc…), I Love to Run (if I’m more honest its more like I like to run) and Love to Travel (this definitely applies!!!!)

But Happy Blonde really sums me up the best

No matter what life has thrown my way I always maintain a positive attitude, I can always find a reason to smile, and I’m annoyingly optimistic sometimes (direct quote from Dave)

So while I’m still fixing up the transfer and trying to let everyone know I’ve moved

I’ve decided to make today my first WIAW post

Every week bloggers link up to Jens Peas & Crayons blog and I finally remembered to photograph everything I ate for a whole day – yay me :)

Seriously though I have the attention span of a small child on a sugar high so to remember to photograph everything I eat for a day is ridonkulously hard!

Obviously If I had read the rules before hand I would have known that Jen says you can pick food from the week and put it together

Bahahahaa that would have been easier!

Except for breakfast and dinner, everything i ate today was eaten from a bag/wrapper/can/container – i’m obviously a slave to society and the stress of everything means i ate almost all my food on the go

Breakfast (recipe at the end of the blog)

Snack - must remember to take eat apple after photo, mmm pre cut veggies – by precut i mean i sliced the cucumber and asked Dave for a pat on the back

Lunch – vegetarian sushi and organic green iced tea courtesy of the grocery store across the parking lot from my work – not super motivated today can you tell?

Snack – Justins nut butter straight from the pack and puffins i bought to restock Daves supply and they called out to me from the grocery bag so i might have ate 1 or 5 handfuls

Dinner – but kind of breakfast, grilled banana and peanut butter sandwich on multigrain bread with raspberries and strawberries on the side

Dessert – a little naughty cause dinner doesn’t count if it was actually breakfast :)

____________________________

So my breakfast recipe for you inspired by the fresh picked raspberries in my parents fridge, the chipmunk that camps out on the deck and taunts Sydney and the lingering headache that begged for chocolate

Nutty Chocolate Raspberry Breakfast Cookie

Ingredients

1/3 cup of oatmeal flour
1 egg white
1/2 banana mashed
1 tsp of chia seeds
1 tsp of ground flax
5 drops of stevia
1 Tbsp of fresh raspberries
1/2 tsp of cocoa powder 
1/2 Tbsp of sunflower seeds

Toppings

Sprinkling of chocolate of your choice
1/2 Tbsp of sunflower seeds
1 Tbsp of fresh raspberries
1/2 Tbsp of organic raspberry jam

Directions

Blend ingredients together and microwave on high for 90 seconds or 1 minute 30 seconds, apparently its the same thing – i just found this out recently – yup, i’m blonde

______________________________

Only 17 days till we move into the new house – woot woot

Living with my parents has been a breeze so far, i mean – there is a stocked supply of Dairy Milks in the fruit cellar – hello fun times!

Here is a quick picture of the fireplace being built and now i’m off to galivant with my guy and the furry baby that is currently staring you down in the above photo – i think she is waiting for the chipmunk :)

 

xoxoxoxox 

Let me count…

11 May

…The stupid* not so bright things i did today
                      *my mum hates when i use the word stupid
1. I let BF take ALL the vegan chocolate chip cookies i made last night to work!
Dumb move Donna, as much as i loved the snuggle i got for packing them in his lunch bag i would give it back to have another taste of the yummy cookie goodness (even though i might have had 3 tastes -aka: cookies) last night!

2. I went for another 5km run – second day in row, my shins hate me with a burning passion as do the blueberries i melted icing them down after my run, blueberries are re-freezable right? Never mind, if the answer is no, i don’t want to know, ignorance is bliss!


3. I wore that broken skirt to work again, what can i say its my favourite, lets just hope the wardrobe malfunctions stay to a minimum today, and if i have a gaping hole in the back of my skirt that my coworkers will be kind enough to point it out discreetly, though if you know my coworkers they will probably laugh about it for a good hour before kindly pointing it out :o )

Last but certainly not least


4. I might have signed up for a race, a race that is in 5 freaking days!!!

Oh yes i did, told you i wasn’t so bright!


So that is the What I did, of What I did Wednesday, its a doozy!So the race i signed up for is the Brantford Classic, just the 5km – not the 10km, i’m not that ridiculous

Its taking place this Sunday and i’ve hopefully convinced my friend Lesley to race it with me!

Katie, my sister and running partner in crime has a christening to attend even though she could totally have rocked that new Lululemon running jacket she bought yesterday (swoon)!

Sorry i totally digressed into Lululemon talk, i do that sometimes, i like to spread the love that is supportive, wicking luon :o )

You want to know the worst part of me signing up for this race? That i did it mostly for the bib, i’ve never run a race before where i get to have a bib so i’m super duper excited, even if my shins are cursing me out at this very second!

___________________________



Since i don’t get any more cookies, i thought i would share with you instead!

_______________________________



So what crazy things have you done lately?


Me?  Well i signed up for a race thats happening in 5 days!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
But i’m pretty sure i mentioned that xox

>Adventures in Dehydrating

27 Apr

>


I must be getting nostalgic in my age because i’m regressing again back to 1987 when Adventures in Babysitting came out, anyone else remember that movie?

I’m not sure who enjoyed it more, my sister and i or my parents, these are the classics our kids will watch one day on their ipids (we have had ipad and ipod, ipid is the next logical step) and they will try to understand what we ever saw in scrunchies and who Thor was!  (I still don’t really know who Thor was, we had just moved to Canada at that point but i’m pretty sure there is a new movie about him opening up also starting Natalie Portman? Random i know, i have soooo much movie trivia stored in my little head!

Anyway, back to my Title, i put the dehydrator to use yesterday and these are what i CREATED (created sounds way more excited then made)

Banana Chips - which totally rock my world!

Apple chips – that taste fantastic but don’t live up to the insane awesomeness of the Banana Chips

Sweet Potato Chips – would have tasted better if i hadn’t just bought a bag of professionaly made Sweet Potato Chips but they are edible in a pinch

And of course I made more Kale, the cheezy kind, this stuff is so awesome i want to bow down to it every time i eat one, hmmmm possible ab workout? Kind of like the horse having the carrot dangled in front of it only for me you would use Cheezy Kale Chips :o )

Some great sites to check out for Dehydrator Recipes are

HERE and HERE
________________________________


So I know I mentionned my ability to stress about anything and everything so just for lack of anything better to post about today here is my list of

What i’m currently stressing about Wednesday
Acne: WTF? I have a zit on my chin, after putting my dues in during my teenage years i hardly ever get “spots” as my mum likes to call them, i’m hoping this is a passing phase, 31 year olds should not have acne, its a total rule!



Packing: Have i mentionned we have hardly done any?  its just so overwhelming but our parents have helpfully been giving us empty boxes to help emphasize the point we need to get started asap, empty boxes make me excited to pack, then i look at what i have to pack and i crawl back under my duvet


No Dress: I will be going to a wedding this weekend and i really really want something cute to wear since it’s kind of going to suck that i’ll be sitting on my own since BF is the best man, but alas i’m WAY too picky and can’t find anything i want to spend $150 on, oh woe is me – really want this dress but there is no store near me and did you see the price tag? Its only okay for me to spend that kind of $ on lululemon (insert BF rolling his eyes here)


William and Kate: I’m concerned, what if i don’t like the dress? It will ruin the whole wedding for me and i really want these two to last, no toe sucking shenanigans you two, are you listening?

Cupcake Ideas: Its my sisters 30th birthday this weekend and I want to make her some special cupcakes but i’m seriously lacking in the idea department, suggestions?


I’m also wondering what i did in my life before Salt & Vinegar Fish came into it!

Salt & Vinegar Crisp Coated Fish
inspired by How Sweet it is

Ingredients
Package of Cod Fish
2 Egg Whites
Bag of Boulder Organic Malt & Salt Chips


Directions
Crushed chips in large ziploc bag
Dip Fish in egg whites
Coat in chips
Place on Baking sheet
I cooked my fish for 12 minutes at 350 degrees



Enjoy how you wish!  I put my fish into a wrap with mayonnaise and seafood sauce, it was truly one of the best things i’ve eaten!



Is it wrong to look forward to lunch so I can be alone with my wrap ;o)


Happy Hump Day!!!!!!!!!!
