As you can see, June's challenge is going well... I've been using my pantry heavily and spend less on groceries. I'll post a before and after pic of my pantry when June ends.
Now, plans:
- I am considering to go to a yoga retreat organized by my yoga studio. It's only a weekend long and I know it will be great because all my 3 favorite instructors will go there. But it's pricey, $550 for the weekend, so I'm heasitating.
- I'll teach a short course (six 3 hours class) when I go to Argentina. I was competing with other visiting professor and yesterday I was informed that they picked my program. I was so excited because it's well paid and because I'll basically teach my dissertation topic. So I'll share my insights about the topic and as I prepare for the classes, it will help on my dissertation as well.
- I'll prepare a lunch for my friends this weekend!!! My first home party and I'll be the host! It's not a big party, only my best male friends. I'll be feeding 4 hungry boys!!! hahahah... I'm working on the menu! It will so so fun!
Question: What's exciting in your life right now? What are you looking forward in the near future?

geez so much yummy food! I loove the wheatberries on the green oatbran!
what yummy foods!
Your food is always so diverse and wonderful looking!
a yoga retreat sounds so amazing!! I bet it's worth the money!
I love cooking for others and I can tell by your enthusiasm you are too!
Enjoy your day!
Sounds like a busy past few days! All your eats look amazing though, I have yet to try kabocha and every time I see it on here I want some. Cooking for four hungry boys? That should be interesting! I'm sure it'll be tons of fun.
Much love,
Rachel
Love all of the tasty foods! I am looking forward to our long weekend in Colorado, we go at the end of the month. I love trips!
Hey Coco! I hear ya about working a long day, and just wanting to eat and veg out!
I still find your spinach conclusions interesting. Here's a suggestion - when making spinach oats, maybe microwave the spinach for 30 seconds or so first? Would that solve the problem? I guess you can't do that with the green monster though.
Your overnight oats looks delicious - I really want to try that!
And its easy to say what I'm looking forward to - my travels! I'll definately be in your neighbourhood and look forward to meeting you!
I think the yoga retreat sounds wonderful. And it would be good for you too! I think its totally justifiable..
Can you post the recipe for the puddin' pops? Are they a box mix or made from scratch? Inquiring minds :)
SO many great things in this post!
1)Love the TV try...brilliant!
2)Thanks for the shout out :)
3)Your baking looks fab. I really like the heart shape mold you bought
4)Mmmm, pudding pops. I haven't had one of those in ages
5)CONGRATS on getting the teching job in Argentina. $$ is always a good thing!
Have a great day, Coco!!!
Yeah for posicles!! I like the idea of making fudge-sicles, or at least similar to fudgesicles..clever! I also love your tv try, I need to get one of those.
I look forward to my vacation in July, and all the summer festivals coming up (mainly the Jazz and Rib fest!)
All your food looks amazing - but I especially like your egg sammie! :D
I love your desserts :)
In my life... well, I'm going to be teaching all summer and that starts in about 2 weeks. I'm also excited because I think we are planning to move back to the east coast soon! Well, within a year, and possibly within a few months. I don't really know details yet but we have been talking about it every day.
Your porridge looks really creamy.
My husband loves his TV tray. I usually prefer to eat at the table with a book when I'm alone though.
yummy foods!
i always eat in front of the tv when i'm alone. haha
Coco-what is white fungus and how do you cook them?Is it used for sweet dishes only? Where do you buy them?
I love how you have kabocha for dessert practically every day. It really is the perfect food isn't it?
Fridge clearing salads are definitely my favourite. HUGE and they do such a great job at clearing out the last bits of things hanging out in the fridge.
I'm soaking wheatberries for the first time in FOREVER right now and I'm super excited about it :)
Rose: those popsicles are really simple: silken tofu, almond milk, flax meal, cocoa powder and stevia, all blended!
Sweta: white fungus can be found in asian stores and you can make sweet and savory dishes with it. First, soak for at least 2 hours and then do whatever you want with it! It is very good for our body! Hope you try it! :)
Thanks Coco-will check it out! Could you please post a simple recipe with it though-a sweet with it sounds interesting!!
Sweta: the simplest one is what I make all the time: just white fungus and chinese dates, cooked in slow cooker for 8 hours and sweetened with honey when it's done! :)
missed you coco! glad you are keeping busy. first pedi ever!? wow, i am addicted to pedis. haha. love them. nothing too fun on my end. great to hear from you! xoxo
Love those cute popsicles!
