The real fall season is almost here.
So here it goes, round 24…
But first- a favorite recent patient quote:
“I AM SO GLAD I FOUND YOU GUYS!”
(R)eading: Life on Svalbard: Finding Home on a Remote Island Near the North Pole by Cecilia Blomdahl is a great read. Her photography is brilliant and the education she provides throughout the book is neat, too.
(E)ating: School started this month and time saving hacks seem to be even more important with drop offs, pick ups, sports and homework so here are a few tidbits to make the kitchen a more fun place to be:
- Slice a whole pack of Costco onions and bell peppers, and then freeze them to easily add into stir frys, soups or breakfast burritos.
- Slice up bananas, fruits and single layer leafy greens to have ready to go in the freezer for smoothies or add-ins for oatmeal.
- Batch prep a couple protein sources (meat, tofu, beans, etc.) and carbohydrate sources (quinoa, rice, pasta, etc.) to have on hand to build a bowl to your liking. It is fun to play around with toppings and sauces throughout the week.
- These energy balls are super easy, use up turning bananas and are great for a pick-me-up for humans of all ages.
(P)laying: The Muktuk Marston Memorial Trail is a dream this time of year.
(O)bsessing: We have been obsessing over the Portage Pizza Topper from Summit Spice & Tea Company. It is a game changer on homemade pizza crust.
(R)ecommending: We recommend applying to “Show Us Your Alaska” with DexaFit for the opportunity to get $40 off of any of their services.
(T)reating: Treat yourself to baking a batch of homemade cookies or brownies to have on hand for a sweet treat here and there (they can easily be frozen for safe keeping)! It might be a little fun to feel more connected with something yummy, knowing you made it.
Put on some comfy clothes, turn on your favorite tunes and have at it.
