Recent Eats + Calendar Nerdiness

Hi guys – I have some good news: sardines and I are friends again after a pregnancy-related hiatus! My favorite way to eat them is in a pita – I mash the sardines with some mayo and dijon mustard, toss some greens in there, and chow down. Delish.

Sardines = rich in omega 3’s, low in mercury, and loaded with calcium thanks to the tiny edible bones in the fish. (Related: check out my Scandinavian Sardine Sandwiches recipe.)

I’m also still loving the pumpkin version of my flour free breakfast pancake. (Recipe: gluten free spiced pumpkin pancake.) I added a small handful of oats to the mix, too, because I like the chew, and I followed the microwave version noted in my original flour free breakfast pancake recipe post because I wasn’t feeling like dirtying a pan. Topped with some late season blueberries and sprouted pumpkin seeds.

In other extremely exciting news (sarcasm), I bought a new 2018 planner! I use my Google calendar for any nutrition client meetings, appointments, weekend plans, trips, etc., but I love still having a paper planner for my blog editorial calendar. Seeing it all written down in a monthly snapshot helps keep me organized, and paper to do lists that you can manually check things off of are way more satisfying than electronic ones in my opinion.

Have a nice day, guys.

Does anyone else get nerd-ily excited for a new planner? I love getting it all organized and set up!

  • I LOVE new planners!!! I need to get mine for 2018. I'm a planner fiend! Also, sardines-- haven't had those in a while.... I never really make food with them, but I should experiment more!

    • I hadn't really realized how close we were to the end of the year until I needed to add a 3 month partnership to my editorial calendar and realized that my calendar stopped at December - ha! Luckily the 2018 planner I got starts with September 2017, so I can switch over already and not have to use two at once. :)

  • I get excited for a new planner every year!! I love that one too! So pretty. I know it's wasteful with paper, but I love planners and books I can read out of hand. I spend too much time on my phone as it is, so I love to disconnect. Matt and I love sardines! Am I weird that I love the bones? The crunch is my favorite. I realized we were out, though, so I'll be stocking up soon. For a while, World Market carried a variety with lemon olive oil. They were incredible. Have a great day!

    • Lemon olive oil is sooo good - both with sardines and also as a salad dressing component!

  • I LOVE new planners and I totally nerd-out for them! This reminded me I still need to get one for next year, though. I ordered one, but when it came in, I hadn't realized I had ordered the pocket-size. #FAIL.

    • Ah that sucks! I like the big ones too since it's just for the blog editorial stuff - if I need to take it with me that means I also have my laptop, which means I have my backpack and plenty of space to carry a big planner!

  • Buying my yearly planner and setting it up is literally a highlight of my year - HA! So I don't think anything nerdy about that :) :)

    • Lol. Love it!

  • Planner addict here! I fell hard for the Erin Condren hype while wedding planning. I need to be better about using it for household management! There is nothing like the satisfaction of crossing items off a physical list. Also, with baby girl on the way, even regular wall calendars can be a great memento! I recently discovered that my mom has saved all of her yearly calendars, so it was so fun to look back and see what the rhythm of our lives was like when I was young.

    • That is so fun - I would love to see a calendar from when I was little!

  • I LOVE my planner! I'm also feeling slightly panicked every time I open it lately because it ends in 2 months and how is it nearly November?! Excited to get another one for 2018 though. I remember thinking before I purchased it, "meh...this seems kind of big. I probably don't need that kind of space". A set of pretty markers, four styles of washi tape, and one month later, I was super pleased with myself ;) Happy Wednesday!
