Yup, it's official. I'm on summer vacation!
Which means it's time for the flip side of my personality to kick into gear. Time for Writer Cate to take over.
It also means it's time for Healthy Writer Cate to take over.
Sadly, this followed me home.
OOPS!
It was not alone.
Delicious food just jumps into the basket - and then onto the hips.
This is the peril of being Writer Cate.
Teacher Cate spends the entire day on her feet, running up and down flights of stairs, walking around the classroom, fast walking to the subway - 15 minutes to and from, twice a day.
So you see, donuts and cookies just won't cut it in the summer.
To be fair, they weren't quit cutting it before school ended. The scale was inching upwards and waistlines were tightening.
So, Summertime, and it's time to be ruthless.
Expect to see recipes with more of this

I keep a bowl of blueberries in the refrigerator and grab them when I'm craving a snack. |
There are still some treats.
They were strategically placed in my basket today.
The freezer is stocked with salmon and haddock and shrimp. And frozen blueberries for smoothies.
However, I'm over on Seekerville today blogging about procrastination, so I may have to have a donut first. Who will join me?
Are you inclined towards healthier eating in the summer? I feel like we always used to be because of the heat, but now with AC, there's not the waning appetite to help.
I'm off to a good start. This was dinner tonight.

Kale, oranges, blueberries, sunflower seeds, avocado slices, salmon, and some croutons. It was really good. |
