The weather is making me even crazier than usual, so I’m going to ramble for a bit.
I’m in a phenomenal mood and all I want to do it is be outside. (I even broke out the flipflops this morning)
Work? no thanks.
I got up yesterday and decided I was bored with breakfast, so I’ll just whip up some baked oatmeal. like its no big deal.
I used this recipe from Chocolate Covered Katie. so so good. Now, I want to try them all.
After work, I got my workout in. Progression speed intervals on the treadmill. surprisingly awesome. sweaty mess. loved it. My legs are hurtin’ today though. Monday’s leg circuits + that run = seriously sore
.
Then this happened…
Kale chips – the blog world loves them. I really wanted to attempt some kind of kale so I went for it, using this recipe.
green leafy vegetable. unclear how this becomes chip-like
parmesan doesn't look so pretty anymore
so yeah.. They were decent. Crispy but not burnt, salty with parm. I don’t really know what I was expecting. They were thin and almost dissolved in my mouth. I lost interest after a few.
Would I make them again? Probably. But let’s be serious – they are not snack food and not as chip-like as I wanted, but a solid way to work in green veggies.

The biggest factor in my awesome mood – the weather. Its March and its in the 70′s. When I moved to Boston last year, I swear we got a foot of snow like every week til April..
My favorite part of my apartment is that I have a balcony and can open the slider. It makes me soo happy to have it open. This morning I woke up to this.
whether you can tell or not, its open. LOTS of fresh air
The sun was shining, the birds were chirping & the air was just awesome. It sounded cheesy just typing that. I should’ve taken a video so you can hear it.
I prepped dinner in the crock-pot and have fun lunch plans with Christina.
Just fabulous.

who’s having a great morning? thoughts on kale? better recipes I should be trying?
