July photo day 8

Today's photo is lunch. It may not look like much, but it's super healthy for you. A serving of this amazing little grain, a 1/2c. cooked, has 6 grams of fiber & 6 grams of protein. It's called quinoa, pronounced keen-wa, and if you haven't tried it yet you absolutely should. Gone are the days of choosing between rice or potatoes. Now you have a new side to love. Enjoy!

Quinoa Salad

Red Quiona (I used 1c. dry = 2c. cooked)

White Beans (Canned or Soaked overnight, whichever you prefer)

Diced Cucumber, Diced Red Onion & Sun dried Tomatoes

Salt, Pepper, EVOO & Lemon Juice to taste

Those are just the ingredients I used. Have fun & choose your own if you want.

July photos days 6 and 7

Yesterdays photo was supposed to be a chair. I was out with friends in Seattle & I didn't see a chair, but this particular seat looked mighty inviting after an afternoon of walking around Pikes Place...

Day 6 - Seattle Bench

Today, day 7 was a picture of a garden. I chose an older one from my time in Sicily...that was 10 years ago now! I saw it while walking with friends in Taromina & it was so beautifully striking. Sadly the picture just doesn't do it any justice.

July photo day 5

Today's photo was about things on the floor, well I keep my place pretty spick & span. And I'm sure you don't want to see my folded laundry...errr, check that rather I don't want to show you my folded laundry. So here are my...

Running shoes

You've seen them before, but that's what I got on the floor. Anyway, you'll be happy to hear that they are currently being used to train for a 5K that I've decided to participate in on August 11. It's my first so don't expect some fantastic results, or post. But really the fantastic part of it is that I'm working on challenging myself in this area. Currently I'm still not a fan of running, but I hope that will change as I continue.

July days...Photos of my life this month

Boy oh boy life gets busy. Friends have returned “home”, school is back in full swing, ministries need my attention etc. A girl can’t do it all. However, I also haven’t been inspired to write. I mean I have plenty of ideas to share, but my thoughts have been so jarred and random that I haven’t fully wanted to commit to writing anything substantial. So instead I’ve decided to do a photo a day in July.

Yeah, I should have started yesterday, but that was self-portrait day & I’m just not good at those. I like taking photos with other people in them. So maybe I’ll make up for that one later, or not…it’s my challenge anyway.

However, today was busy day so here is a pic of my desk at work. I was working on writing up a vessel to keep track of in our database.
