Good morning! Happy Saturday! 
Mal picked up a new bunch of daffodils for the house when he was at the Fruit Center yesterday. Flowers make me so happy! How can you not be happy around them, right? What’s your favorite kind of flower?
“Grandma” was in bed at 9:15 PM last night, so waking up naturally at 7:00 AM wasn’t that strange. And then I practically bounded-out of bed to make a bowl of oats.
In the mix:
- 1/3 cup oats
- 1/4 cup wheatberries
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed meal
- 1 tbsp hemp protein
- Splash of vanilla hemp milk
- Water
- Peanut butter Puffins
- Scoop of peanut butter
With iced coffee…
Check out the goodies that came in the mail for me yesterday: PETA’s Vegan College Cookbook, which is packed full of easy and delicious recipes. I’m excited to try a lot of them!
And I am now a proud owner of a “get zesty” t-shirt!

I’m gearing-up for my Saturday long run. I have a feeling that it’s going to be a very reflexive run this morning. After my run, Mal and I are headed downtown to run some errands and perhaps attend a beer tasting. See ya later today!

I also bounded out of bed ridiculously early today. But it’s so gorgeous out, who cares??
Awesome book! I will be sure to pick up a copy, it’s just what I need!
I got that cookbook too!! There are some interesting recipes in there, that’s for sure
My favorite flowers are peach roses!
I love when all the fresh flowers start making appearances… I’m a huge fan of gerbera daisies and tulips
I actually slept until almost 8am this morning, which is really late for me! Felt great. My favorite flowers are roses, especially floribunda.
This weekend we are going on a 30 mile bike ride to enjoy the beautiful NE weather!
Are you serious? I’m so excited to be the winner!!
i love gerbera daisies – they were the flowers in my wedding.
have a great run today!
Can’t wait to hear how you like the recipes in the PETA cookbook!
My favorite kind of flowers are peonies – I’m carrying them as my wedding bouquet
I have that cookbook coming my way – fun!
congrats jessica! and those are gorgeous flowers! i’ve come to love sweet peas (so adorable, bunched together in a small vase), tulips and bright irises! i think i love all flowers
Yeah I did not bound out of bed haha but I’m up nonetheless. Good luck on your run!
Carnations. So pretty! Wish I could grow them.
Beautiful flowers! I love roses
I don’t think I actually have a favourite flower – I guess I just don’t get them often enough to have a preference!
I’m also waiting for that cookbook to show up on my doorstep. I’m really interested to see what’s inside.
I love gardenias (best smell ever!) and calla lilies (my wedding flowers)
I love orchids. White is my favorite color, so a white orchid would be my choice.
Have fun tonight! I need to get my hand on that cookbook. I also need to get my own zesty shirt.
