Category: Once In A Whiles

  • A Once in a While

    In this case, it’s a once a year -our anniversary. February is gearing up to be one of the most busy times we’ve had recently. The kids were spending time with their grandma, so we decided to celebrate our 21st anniversary a little early while we had an opportunity.

    I’m not a big fan of eating out, but my husband enjoys it. He also loves sushi. A new Japanese Steak House opened recently, and I knew he really wanted to try it. I had tried sushi one time before without the result he had hoped. I was mentally preparing to give it another try for him, although he had not asked and probably did not expect me to.

    He ordered a dragon roll, and I asked him to go ahead and order a California roll too. That is the gateway roll, right? I tried a piece of California roll dipped in the spicy concoction he mixed. The texture wasn’t as ick as I remembered. I bravely (yes, bravery) tried the other roll.  The other roll with eel.

    If you know me in real life, you probably just came to. We also had soup, salad, hibachi steak and shrimp, veggies, and fried rice.

    I’m still full this morning.

  • Whole Wheat Blueberry Donut Muffins

    Whole Wheat Blueberry Donut Muffins

    These muffins prepared from freshly ground wheat pack enough punch to carry you through the morning without filling yourself with completely useless calories. The coconut sugar provides nutrients (read more) as do the completely unrefined carbohydrates from the wheat berries.

    The Vitamix blender makes this as simple as dumping the ingredients into the container and turning it on for 90 seconds.
