yoga is yummy

loving life, one breath and one bite at a time

These just might be the yummiest things I’ve ever blogged about.

Yup.

Got the idea from my friend Angela.

Great for kids.  Great for moms. 

CUPCAKES for everybody!

All were deLISH. 

I know. They are SO simple. 

But who cares.  They are still SO yummy.

The pumpkin combo?  I actually said “oh my gosh” when I took a bite.

Try them.  You can thank me later.  XOXO

APPLE “CUPCAKES”

Cut apple in half. 

Carefully cut out the core of each half.

“frost” with almond butter or peanut butter.

Top with berries OR canned pumpkin.

Sprinkle with cinnamon.  EAT!

 

Just had to add this pic.

That was last night.  My girl, her bedtime snack, and giggles.

Doesn’t get any better than that.

Happy Fall. 

Guess what?  My “new” blog is being redesigned by a pro!  I am so excited.  It might take a while.  Stick around.  I promise to keep it REAL and keep it YUMMY around here.  XOXO

O taste and see that the Lord is GOOD.  Psalm 34:8

Happy September.  Cortlands are back!

Cortlands are my very favorite apple of all.  Super crunch.  Pure white flesh (pretty applesauce!) and doggone delish.  I just ate 2 of ‘em.  YUM.

I seem to have forgotten the YOGA in my blog, huh?  No worries. 

Let’s talk KNEES.

Since I am an ol’ lady (38) I can feel my knees when I walk Charlie at the crack of dawn.  I know that if I want to still move and groove when I’m 88, I need to take care of my KNEES.  I only get 2 of them.  YOGA sure helps. 

Try this.

Just take a yoga block (get them at Target!) and place between your shins.  NOT your knees.  Look down and be sure your feet look like a number 11 (parallel) and not all wacky and crooked.  Firmly plant your feet into the mat/floor and squeeze that block.  Now… at the SAME TIME, try to pull your thighs away from each other.  If you do this without the “shins hugging” the block will simply fall out. (woops!)  You can do it!  This is from Anusara Yoga (my fave!) and it’s called SHINS IN, THIGHS OUT.  (catchy?)  You basically align the bones and create stability (strength) around the knee joint. 

XOXO

 

Get down on your knees before the Lord.  It’s the only way you’ll get on your feet.  James 4:7
