What’s New, Pussycat?

March 4, 2012 By jennie

I’ve spent most of the past two weeks hanging out at massage school.

But I missed my blog and all of you! I certainly can’t keep up with regular posting at the moment, but I’ll be popping in from time to time to say hello. For today, let’s catch up. I believe this is termed the “camera dump” – random tidbits I’ve been collecting on my camera.

Last month, I won some stevia in a giveaway from Melissa at The Delicate Place. She threw in a couple little treats, including this chocolate bar from Love Street Living Foods. It was the best chocolate bar I’ve had in recent memory. I tried replicating it by melting down some baking chocolate and sweetening it with stevia, cinnamon, lucuma and maca powders. It didn’t go too well.

I made a new batch of ghee recently, this time using unsalted Kerrygold butter. It was SO YELLOW. This picture doesn’t even do it justice. It actually tastes about the same as my previous batches, so I don’t know that I need to go out of my way to use the Kerrygold in the future. Have you made homemade ghee yet?

Between the smoked salmon that was given to me from one of my classmates, and some salmon burgers from Costco in my freezer, I’ve been eating tons of fish lately. I don’t know that I feel a difference in my body, but I certainly feel very virtuous. This was a salmon burger, sauteed bok choy, and a baked sweet potato.

And I’ll leave you today with some gratuitous cat pictures. Here’s Eggs …

And Stormy. She likes it when I do this. No, really.

    I wish people gave me smoked salmon. 99% of the time I’m trying to pawn baked goods off on other people.

    My cousin makes these AMAZING homemade chocolate with coconut oil, carob, sea salt and some nuts. SO good and healthy! I was going to blog post the recipe, but now she might try to release a product so it wont work so well :). But im sure they have similar recipes you can find with google!

    Salmon craving now. Which Im going to have to try to appease with hummus.

    I have to say you’re only the second person in my entire life to mention ghee. The first of whom being my mother. What do you do with your ghee?

    I’ll tell you that my mom pops homemade popcorn in hers and there is nothing better than buttery popcorn that doesn’t leave greasy fingers.

      Aimee – I use ghee the same way I use butter. Usually I saute veggies in it, but it’s very good spread on toast 🙂 I never thought to put it on popcorn, but I like the sound of it!

      Samantha – It sounds impressive, but ghee is really easy to make!
