1. August’s Tuesday Tidbits was scheduled for last week — oops. Better late than never.
2. Although this summer has been quite lovely, my feelings for Fall are beginning to rekindle. I’m nowhere near pulling out the pumpkin recipes, but I will welcome the cooler mornings and cozy clothes in due time.
3. Despite the smoky skies and humid air, I was itching to go for a run yesterday. I’ve disciplined myself to not run – in hopes of healing my injured knee – but, I broke my no running streak. I set out, anticipating frustration, and gratefully finished 2.5 (very slow and awkward) pain-free miles. {insert happy dance}
4. I’ve had my iPhone for one year, and have managed to only go through one case. Granted, it is a pretty sturdy one at that and has protected my lifeline well, but I’m ready for a change (I don’t say that too often!). So, mint sparkles, or…?
iPhone friends, tell me — where do you shop for cases? Functional or fashionable?
5. I can’t get enough of that country stuff. It’s been but a week and a half since I saw Luke Bryan in concert, and I’ve already bought tickets for The Boy(friend) and I to see Zac Brown Band. It’ll be a long wait ’til November 14 – can’t wait!
6. Saturday night involved hunting down ginger beer to mix-up a few Dark ‘N’ Stormy cocktails. I finally used up the rum in my freezer. Move over mojitos — this refreshing, summer recipe comes with a crisp, citrusy kick.
7. I was doing oh so well with keeping my cereal cravings under control; I managed to keep my cupboards sans cereal for a couple of months. I gave in last week and bought a box of Rice Chex; naturally, that meant I needed to bake a fresh batch of granola. I made a half-batch of Coconut Cashew Crunch Granola, subbing almonds for the cashews. Naturally, I had to have a late-night bowl of cereal in bed while catching up with the season finale of The Bachelorette. #guiltypleasures
8. Did you know Love Grown Foods launched a new product!? I’m completely smitten over their Super Oats. As a LOVE Blogger, I’m giddy to be able to host a giveaway soon…
9. Going home to the foggy, damp coast earlier this month was bittersweet, but bringing back Dad’s freshly picked blueberries and enjoying them on fluffy waffles was a lot sweeter.
10. I’m drooling over these Zucchini Coconut Chocolate Chippers; coincidently, I have four beautiful, bright green zucchini from the farmer’s market in my fridge.
There ya have it — Tuesday Tidbits, August Edition.
Ta ta for now!
