A little Snack: YoGuRt

   Here is a snack I you would frequently see in my possession at 4 oclock.  I think 4pm is a great time for a snack, its roughly 3-4 hrs from lunch and 2-3 hours from dinner:)

   Coconut milk yogurt (vanilla)

   Cashews and almonds (as "granola")

   Unsweetened coconut

Peach and blueberries 

And a dash of cinnamon:)

Enjoy!!

Roseleaf Academy

BRACE YOURSELF... You will have to read! No pictures sorry!! 

    Well I'm back at Roseleaf Academy>>> the place where my blogging inspiration started:)


I finally found a job down here, it took fooorreevveerrr... I will be working at Ross dress for less and Gymboree.  I am so pumped!!! I am really excited to get into a routine because im just that type of person. Once that happens time is gonna fly so I NEED to remember to ENJOY myself.  Have you ever noticed that? They say time flies when your having fun, which is true, but I say time flies when your BUSY:)
    
      I joined the Young Single Adult ward here and its been super fun so far!  There are a lot of new people to meet and they have loads of activities to attend throughout the week.  I was also called as a ward missionary which is perfect because I want to go on a mission!  I feel like the baby of the ward, actually im pretty sure I am the youngest...

     I have found SOOO many books I want to read this summer but Im not quite sure how to strategize to I can make sure I get them all in.  I did listen to a few audiobooks which are tremendous!!! You can listen to it while you work or drive.  But the thing is youtube doesn't have every book and I can afford audible.  Any suggestion for this dilemma??? #firstworldproblems:)


      Daddy and I have been corresponding through the good ole mail! It is so fun to get a physical letter, something I get to open and hold and keep forever, which you know I will!!!


     Oh I never told you about my brief employment at a movie theatre.  I like the theatre business and meeting people. but.... this place was a lil dumpy and the management sucked, on top of that I was being paid 5$/hr.  Not worth it!!! I quite after a week and was forced to look for another job but hey, "When you don't get what you want, you get experience."


     Sorry this entire thing is very random^^^  Thank you to my faithful readers. I <3 You! <<< And I'm very curious who you are, is that strange?

For the FoUrTh Of JuLy weekend my awesome aunt booked a room in Park City, Utah!

    If you've never been there you definitely need to put it on your bucketlist of places to visit.  It is gorgeous! 

<Trees, mountains, hiking, biking, swimming, shopping, PEACE> You name it, they've got it! 

    So I juggled traveling 45 minutes to and from work to Park City so I could make this FoUrTh Of JuLy a memorable one:) 

      Here's what we did:

   - mini hike
         - swimming// hot tubbing
              - painted nails
                   - gave my lil cousin Ells a workshop on "nightly routines"
                         - Alpine Coaster = HIGHLIGHT!

                              - Riding Gondolas

                                    - Ice cream
                                         
     Oh and Gymboree (where I work) was having an AWESOME 40% off sale and I just couldn't resist this little number>>> 

Get ready for cuteness future mini Paige!

Eyeballing Amount:)

Blend your creation.  Add more ice if needed, depending on how thick you like your shakes.

flourLESS pancakes!!!

   These are amazing!!! At least to me:) <<< don't be mad at me if you don't like them.  Im the type of person who is mad when people but disgusting recipes online, so let me warn you, in my opinion they are DELICIOUS!


    Here's what you do:
 
Mash a ripe banana- for 1 serving I used 1/2 ripe banana


Add egg- I just used 1

Add Almond butter- I added about 2 Tbsp


Mix and cook like normal pancakes:)
Sorry about the vague measurements, just make an educated guess.


Top with almond butter, peanut butter, berries, etc

Food Blog???

     So lately I've been way into healthy recipes thanks to my Aunt Laurel. 

 She issued a challenge to me that if I can help her lose 12 lbs by the end of summer then she will give me 500$ and every lb after that I get and extra 25$.  Pinterest has been AWESOME! And has helped me come up with ideas of meals not only to make for her, but things I can enjoy too.

      My eating situation is complicated due to health reasons.  I pretty much eat the candida diet, for those of you who don't know what that is its essentially gluten free and dairy free, oh and I avoid sugar too:)  I know a lot of you are thinking, " WHAT DO YOU EAT!?" 

Actually I eat a lot of things>>> Its just actual food:)  I have also just learned about this program called whole 30 where you only eat whole foods for 30 days. Im sure I'll end up doing it at some point in my life, just for fun. Look it up, its a really cool idea.

      SOOO I think im going to start posting daily (hopefully:) food ideas of random things I make.  Because who doesn't love some new food ideas???????


XOXO -Paige
