Thoughtful Thursday: What's Saving My Life

 I listened to The Lazy Genius on my way to work the other day, and she had a fantastic list of what's saving her life right now. More than the list itself I was charmed by the idea of a list like this. And then! I noticed that both Sam and San have written theirs lately.  So! Here's mine:

1. Gimmee Some Oven no-bake energy bites. Kae raved about these, and I remembered them after not making for YEARS. Now they are back in rotation. I like how filling and also treaty they are. (I toast my coconut in the oven and use sun butter and chocolate chips and aim for 20 balls/recipe).

2. The NYT cooking app and its daily newsletter. So many great recipes coming right to my inbox!! We have made (and really liked) one pot pasta with ricotta and lemon, chicken and rice casserole,  rice krispie treats with chocolate and pretzels, egg muffins, pasta primavera, fluffy pumpkin pancakes, parmesan crusted salmon caesar salad, chile crisp fettuccine alfredo with spinach.

3. RUNNING. I feel like I have wasted YEARS not doing this.

4. No bed rotting. My alarm goes off, and I GET UP. It is wonderful (and terrible when the morning is cold).

5. Starbucks holiday drinks. I AM VERY BASIC, OK?

6.  Dental floss in the car (probably because I am always eating energy bits on the way to work).

7. Immediately grading student work. NOTHING IS PILING UP YOU GYS. It is amazing.

first snow!

first dive meet of the season!

run!

I have to know: what's saving your life?
