Hi! Are you still working this week? I can’t tell if people are on vacation for real, or just in their head. I’m definitely starting to drift off in my brain movies.
But I can’t stop working because I just got a desk bike. It’s part of a post I’m doing on fitness equipment. There is a lot of great stuff coming to RER in January! And I’m excited!!
In other happy news, I might have a friend. I don’t want to speak too soon but I did run with a buddy this morning. That is major news!
Jen and I ran together in the past and finally were able to connect again. This is perfect because we ran in a local canyon and saw a coyote! Buddy up!
I was out running errands today and realized I always have two drinks with me. I can’t get enough drinks!! It’s to the point where people have asked if I’m diabetic because I guess before you get diagnosed you can be super thirsty. Ha! No, I just need all the beverages to balance out all the salt I eat. People also tell me to find stores that sell diabetic supplies to test my sugar level.

Best Advice I Can Give:
The best advice I can give you… well, the best best advice I can give you is probably about life. Be brave.
If I had the time to get into it I’d share some lil pearls of wisdom about love too. I can’t think of anything super poetic to share, but I will say that there is someone for everyone and love is an action. You don’t just feel it, you act out love everyday with your favorite people.
What. Where did all that come from? I have no idea.

Anyway.
The best advice I really wanted to share is about food.
I love hummus. I have loved hummus since it first DM-ed me on IG to say ‘hey’. It was love at first bite. And after a long search I found the best hummus on the market (Sabra). I’ve had hummus as a dip, sauce, main dish, bath, snack, face mask, salad topping… and I think hummus is best room temperature or warm.
If you buy it from Costco in that big ‘ol Costco sized tub – try this when you get to the bottom of the container:
1. Buy HUGE hummus. Eat.
Eat more until there are only one or two servings left on the bottom.
2. Add: dash Sriracha, liquid aminos (or soy sauce), splash hot water and mix well.
3. Put 1-2 cups hot broccoli in hummus container and mix.
It’s best roasted, but works either way. So good!
I think we got separated at birth….except I’m not a red head….and I’m not Mexican.
But hummus on everything!!!! Seriously. I mashed up canned chickpeas and add it for a little more texture. I haven’t tried it with siracha, but I do add Harissa spice mix. I use it as my salad ‘dressing’ since my salads are greens topped with all different roasted veggies.
And I am the same with drinks! I drink nuun for electrolyte replacement. Always carry water, coconut water…and sometimes a green drink or probiotic drink. My husband makes fun of me. Once when I was headed to a yoga class he commented ‘are you bringing drinks for the entire class?’
In my defense….I’m extremely indecisive and c’mon….we all know takes work to stay hydrated!!!
Hummus roasted broccoli – sounds like heaven on a plate!
I put hummus on hot pasta. It makes a super “creamy” yummy sauce
I love hummus, too and the Vitamix recipe makes TONS. I use it as cold salad dressing, too, which you have essentially done with your broccoli- except hot. Merry Xmas!
Can’t wait to hear if u like the bike desk.
My life changing tip: use a small amount of olive oil on your hair to prevent static electricity.
Oooh! I hadn’t heard that tip before.
Okay, I’m so going to keep your hummus tip in mind! Such a good way to use up the tiny bit left. And I’m SOOOOO jealous of your desk bike. I have a make-shift standing desk out of boxes at home, but unfortunately, I’m at work 8 hours a day and I sit like a bum… standing ain’t enough when I get home.

I have a real standing desk, but only use it half of the day. I really like it but my feet get tired.
