Documentary Queen

So first off, I thought it was interesting that I received this item in my mailbox today.

A Marlboro ad?

And wait! 

Coupons galore! 

I?m all for coupons, but I?ve never smoked a day in my life, so I don?t think I?ll be using these!

I haven?t lived at this address very long, and I rarely get junk mail, so I?m quite curious how in the world Marlboro got my address?

Exercise

It was rather rainy and dreary outside, so I decided to do an elliptical workout at my apartment complex.  Usually when I ellipticize, I set the program to random and I work out for 60 minutes.

Now I know that using the elliptical has been under fire as a form of exercise lately.  However, I am very leery of this research.  I?ve been ellipticalling for years now, and I find it to be a great form of exercise.  Here?s the key: bump up the resistance!

Breakfast

Ezikiel Cinnamon Raisin cereal.  Don?t be fooled.  There are raisins in this, but that classic cinnamon raisin taste is nowhere to be found.  Trust me, there is not even a hint of sweetness to this cereal.

A sprinkling of mesquite easily helped remedy this problem.  And a side of Pom Juice helped up the sweetness factor of my breakfast as well.

Lunch

Leftover lentil dahl served with my last piece of Trader Joe?s curried naan.

Dinner

I had a bit of extra time on my hands this evening, so I decided to whip up a blog world recipe I?ve been wanting to try.

Oh She Glows? nut butter parsnip fries!

I was making these solely for myself, so I only used one parsnip.  The original recipe uses 3 parsnips, so I decreased the coating ingredients to:

I served the fries alongside some leftover meatloaf.

I really enjoyed these fries!  To me, they tasted similar to sweet potato fries topped with cinnamon and brown sugar.

Dessert

I made another blogger recipe for dessert. 

Kenzie?s Raw Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Two thumbs up!  This was so easy to make.  I?m definitely going to play with other flavor combos in the near future!

Good night, my friends!

I am going to finish up the documentary I?m currently watching called America The Beautiful.  It?s really interesting!  Or maybe I mean disturbing.  It follows the career of a 12-year-old model.  According to the documentary, she is quite sought after as a runway model?until she hits puberty. 

What?s your favorite documentary?

I have so many: I?m pretty much the documentary queen.  But I?d have to say my absolute favorite is Paradise Lost.  No, this Paradise Lost has nothing to do with John Milton.  The documentary is about 3 teenage boys put on trial for murder in a small town.  I would highly recommend you stop what you?re doing, and begin watching this movie immediately!
