Caffeine Free

These photos were taken on Saturday. It was a really great day but most importantly, I was caffeinated. It turns out that caffeine has been the only thing keeping me alive because yesterday I decided to cut caffeine out of my routine for a few weeks and I feel like I've been hit by a ton of bricks. I've either come down with something or I was legitimately reliant on that jolt in the morning because I just feel gross haha. I've been clinging to sugar and coffee to keep me going thanks to a busy schedule so I think my biggest problem is I'm lacking nutrients in my diet haha. I am going to spend the next few weeks getting my health under control (I was even procrastinating getting asthma medication... oops) but since my main problem is finding time to cook, if you have any favourite quick, easy and healthy recipes please pass them along.

Happy Monday! (hahaha I can't say happy Monday with a straight face).

The Establishment

If you're from Vancouver and you are looking for something to do on this rainy Friday, look no further. If you're not from Vancouver... well... start driving or book your plane ticket.

I recently had the opportunity to taste some of the delicious new menu items at the Establishment. I don't claim to be a "foodie", but I know what I like, and the menu that Chef Victor Bongo put together is amazing.

A few of my favourites

Vegetarian Peanut Soup

Black Truffle Saccottini Pasta

Bison Sliders

Malasian Chicken Satay

This wasn't apart of the tasting menu but before I left I just had to try the cheesecake... because well. I'm an addict.

I honestly can not wait to go back to the Establishment to try more items on the menu. It's located at 3162 W Broadway in Kitsilano so if you're walking past there you will probably see me sitting on the patio with cheesecake and Sangria. I'm so predictable.

Goal Setting

I am extremely behind on blog reading (bad blogger friend, bad) but today I spent my break getting caught up on a few. I was really inspired after reading one of Jen's posts about setting summer goals. I wish I could say that I'm the type of person to set goals and tackle them full force but I am actually the queen of procrastination and excuses so in reality my first goal should be to not use my list of goals as a coaster for my Sangria. That's assuming I don't just procrastinate setting my goals. Okay my first goal is to not procrastinate setting these goals. I'm going to be honest with all of you... It's already not looking very good.
