Hello and welcome to another round of Just the Tip Tuesday!
The blog series where I admit to only eating the tips of sweet peppers…
while Vegas watches me and silently judges.
Just the (Running) Tip: Put on your favorite dope jams and your run will be a blast! I listened to my old faves this morning and had a great speed session. (My throat still hurts, but it’s not in my chest at all so I felt fine to run.)
I did 6 800 repeats and then cooled down with my slow songs. I just have the shuffle so I have to click the button 88 times before I get a slow song, but it’s nice when I get a good one.
Just the Tip: Like Almond Milk? This Dream Blends is just as good and I want to say thicker! Often times Almond Milk curdles in my coffee, but this didn’t. (It might be this brand doesn’t curdle, I haven’t tried their straight up AM.)
Just the (Nut) Tip: Like cashews, but eat half a bag before you even realize it?! No? Just me. How sad.
I bought these Thai Lime & Chili Cashews from TJ’s and the extra flavor and spice helps slow my roll. 
Every now and then you’ll get one that is super coated with the spices and it’s like that amazing Thai lemongrass soup!
Question: Got a tip to share with the class?

I dislike having to skip so many songs in my playlist too, but it’s good to change it up every once in a while and rock out to some of my oldies but goodies.
My tip is try spinach – I put that stuff in almost everything and it supplies such great nutrients with no bulk!
What is that joke? I love every song on my iPod until it is on shuffle. Then I only like every third song.
The Kidless Kronicles
I shouldn’t be suggesting this here, but it came to mind: Have you ever tried sticky cashews made with water and icing sugar, put in a hot saucepan for a few minutes until they become sticky? They’re a great addition to a salad!
When it comes to music, I used to skip almost everything to find something I wanted to listen to, until I filled my iPod with stuff that I actually did want to listen to! Some inspirational/motivational CD’s work great, too
I love almond breeze almond milk. But I don’t use it in my coffee. I’m bad and I use creamer. I figure one tablespoon won’t kill me…then I eat tons of chocolate. Oh well, it all balances out.
tjs triangular wasabi almonds, peanuts, and wasabi peas nut mix is so amazing.. and again helps you slow down the handfuls..
I’m scared of wasabi!
Oopppss…I love wasabi and spicy nuts!
Why only the tips of the peppers?!
Those cashews sound amazing … and dangerous.
Those TJ’s Thai lime cashews are my favorite. I find them very addictive and have to be very careful not to over do it. They also have wasabi almonds which are also good. I have had a cold for a week now, and continued running my normal scheduled days and the same number of miles I usually do, but Monday’s run left me with a sore IT band and general fatigued muscles. Not sure why… Maybe with this cold, I was getting less oxygen while running? Ideas?
I don’t have a play list, I listen to slacker radio instead and usually choose trance which is upbeat and fast, no slow music there !
That’s odd, maybe it’s not related. It could also be you were running with less-than-stellar form since you weren’t 100%?
Vegas’s face is just begging for kisses!!!!! I’m on vacation and I miss my kitties!!
I love those shoes you’re wearing! Practically glowing!
I’m not sure my almond milk has ever curdled in my coffee…at least not that I’ve noticed. Hmmm…
That Gotye song is constantly on repeat for me, STILL!
Those cashews look awesome. Must find time to get back to TJ’s and get some. I have had the same trouble with Almond milk curdling in coffee. I actually stopped using it because of this. I’ll check out the Dream blends. Thanks!
ahhh obsessed with those cashews! sadly vt is too small (apparently) to even qualify to have a tj’s so i have to stock up whenever i travel somewhere. but yeah, bombdigs.
I hope you do something with the rest of those peppers!!! Don’t waste Monica! Haha I’m thinking stir-fry…
