Recapping the best of the last month!
Recipe of the Month Club:
- Wine-Poached Tilapia: Cook with wine. It’s delicious.
- White Wine Pork Tenderloin: Seriously. Do it.
- Buffalo Wing Burgers: I have a bit of a Frank’s obsession.
- Thai Sweet Potato and Shrimp Soup: It will not be long before I make this again!
Working on My Fitness:
- Another Week Off – Why take one deload week when you can take two?
- BCAA’s – First time using Amino Acids before my workout. It’s like coffee, except I don’t think it’s horrid.
- Clothes to Sweat In – Buying some desperately needed workout clothes.
Moments of the Month:
- What I Ate on New Years Eve: Apparently, I can cook lobster. Who knew?
- Sushi with Blends: Getting to meet the lovely Chelsea over a sushi lunch. Can’t wait to see her again!
- London Food and Wine Show: I kind of wish this happened every weekend.
Random Stuff I Blog About:
- Book Review: Gaining: Seriously a great book if you’re interested in eating disorders.
- Intermittent Fasting? Not On Board: I just hate diets. Period.
- Bloggers as an Influence {VLOG}: Don’t take everything you see on the internet at face value.
- freEDom: Love Myself First: The motivation behind my favourite tattoo.
Hope you have a lovely Saturday!
<— What were some of your best moments in January?

Love all of these posts! Definitely a good month for you 🙂

Thanks Sarah, I definitely can’t complain!

Love your tattoo! I have one in script lettering on my shoulder blade. Did your ribs hurt super bad?
February 2, 2013 at 8:25 am
It’s hard to say, because my tattoos are on my ribs, behind my ear, my hip, and my leg just above my foot – aka: everywhere that tattoos are supposed to hurt the most, lol. I didn’t find it too terrible, but whenever I get tattoos I tend to zone out and not notice the pain as much after about 20 minutes – endorphins are useful for more than just exercise, apparently!

YAY! Good posts!
February 2, 2013 at 8:25 am
Thank you!

This is such a great way to reflect on the last month!! I really enjoyed reading theses 🙂
February 2, 2013 at 8:26 am
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
February 2, 2013 at 8:50 am
wine poached talapia sounds amazing! I love talapia anyway! What a great month 🙂
February 2, 2013 at 8:52 am
totally recommended!
February 2, 2013 at 8:55 am
I’m glad you are liking the BCAAs! Ever since I started on them I haven’t though twice about needing a coffee on the morning.
February 2, 2013 at 9:03 am
I hate the taste of coffee, so I’m glad I found an alternative that tastes like kool aid :-p and it has definitely been helping my workouts!

January moments for the win! You had a great month or at least it seemed like it. I need to catch your cooking bug, you keep making more and more delicious creations.
February 2, 2013 at 1:41 pm
It’s one of those bugs where it’s actually an awesome thing if you catch it :-p
February 2, 2013 at 10:50 am
My best moment in January was finding out that I was not my love interest’s “type” and then becoming his best friend 😉
February 2, 2013 at 1:41 pm
Oh goodness. Could NOT BELIEVE that story when you told me. I’m glad you guys have stayed close though!
February 2, 2013 at 11:32 am
Best thing about January? Uhmmm… birthday! 😀 That and getting to test out the stand mixer I got for Christmas… and of course enjoying the spoils of those baking experiments 😉 Hope that February is equally as awesome for you!
February 2, 2013 at 1:42 pm
Still so jealous of the stand mixer!
February 2, 2013 at 1:51 pm
Another month of fabulous posts girl…love yourself first is still one of my favs 🙂
February 2, 2013 at 2:10 pm
I’m glad you liked that one, it’s one of mine too!
February 2, 2013 at 6:15 pm
I’d say you had a pretty darn good month!! Hope February is just as amazing for you! I’m sure it will be though:)
February 2, 2013 at 8:05 pm
I hope it’s amazing for you as well Lisa!
February 2, 2013 at 6:34 pm
Our meet up definitely makes my “best of January” list too! 😀 Also the Food and Wine show, dinner at Tru, and getting a job at Organic Works!
February 2, 2013 at 8:06 pm
All great things! Hope February is just as awesome for you!
February 2, 2013 at 7:15 pm
I would say a meet up with miss Chelsea would make a top post! One day perhaps all three of us will meet together… wait not perhaps, it will happen 🙂 You really did have a great month Sam, looking forward to reading how February plays out for yeeee
February 2, 2013 at 8:06 pm
Yesss it will! Are you planning on going to HLS this year? Because I’m just saying, that seems like a pretty good meet-up opportunity :-p
February 3, 2013 at 3:49 am
You wrote some incredibly inspiring and thought-provoking posts this month, Sam! I especially enjoyed the FrEDom post, and loved learning about the inspiration behind your kick *** tattoo. 🙂 The Thai sweet potato soup has been bookmarked as well; I’m looking forward to making that one. 🙂
Best moment in January: buying a ticket to Blend in May (I think YOU should come, too!) ❤
February 3, 2013 at 8:17 am
I’m glad you liked the posts Sara! Unfortunately, I can’t afford to do both Blend and HLS, and I’ve decided that I’m going to attend the latter. I hope you’re going to that one too!
