I’m trying something new. So just go it. K? We’re having some fun this Saturday and playing a little game of DYK (Did you know).
Did you know that today is Bastille Day in France? And it just so happens to be one of my favorite stages of the TDF (Tour de France). Maybe because I just adore the French Coast and cute cyclists in spandex.
Did you know that there is a new milk in town? Yes, nut free/dairy free/grain free/gluten free. SUNFLOWER SEED Milk! I just bought and will bust it open later with a smoothie. Stay tuned!
Did you know that I tried out this new protein to use in my vegan healthy bite orders? Yes, and guess what? It’s delicious! It has a very similar amino acid and BCAA content as whey. I approve!
Did you know I was half awake here? Thursday morning was hard (blame allergies). I was about to teach cycle/yoga and yawning like crazy. But guess what? The “instructor’s high” kicked and I was good to go about 5 minutes into class. That’s what I call a FAKE it TILL ya MAKE IT situation. 
Did you know they we’ve kinda been obsessed with organic cultured sour cream and buttermilk lately. So happy it’s back in the diet. You can read more about all the GUT HAPPY benefits of this cultured goodness HERE!
Speaking of food, we’ve also been obsessed with all things grilled. Grilled corn, zucchini, tomatoes, etc..
Did you know you can grill cake and French toast too? Check out all the foods you can grill HERE.
And lastly, did you know that this devotional is amazing? Well now you know, and you should read it!
Your turn.
Give me a little DYK fun fact this weekend!
Cheers,
LC (aka Corny Cotter)
That salad with the corn looks delish!!
Let us know about the milk when you try it out!!
it’s pretty good! second to almond milk of course.
😉
Did you know that I have about two healthy bites left and I want to cry:) Will be placing another order soon!
oh no! that’s not good. I’m here whenever you need a refill. hehe. Wish i could live closer!
Did you know that even though it gets over 90 degrees during the day, the nights in Colorado are cold enough that sleeping outdoors with only a sheet is chilly. 🙂
I’m going to try that milk substitute out – I saw it at Whole Foods here. What did you think?!
did you know i am jealous. well in a good good way! hey, how’s the dog situation?
p.s.
the milk is good, second to my almond milk. 😉
Thanks goodness, we still only have 2 dogs! The owner’s sister should be able to keep in and he promised he wouldn’t be letting him go. Phew! 🙂
Sunflower seed milk?! I did not know about that. Now I’m going to be in search of it! 🙂
i found it at natural grocers. Maybe it’s a TJ’s??
DYK I took 1st in my age group at a local tri this weekend but I stopped blogging … I really should have kept blogging. And I really need to find some sour cream for dinner.
i miss you blogging but as long as we keep in touch, i am happy! so so awesome about your age group win!!!
DYK that Keith and I went to Gloria’s and I got my favorite shrimp fajitas!! 🙂 YES!
I have got to get to GLoria’s with James! we always go to Maudies! you know his obsession. Must change it up! haha
Did you know that I love you? Okay, cool.
i love you too! I hope YOU DID KNOW THAT! <3
I DID know about the tour, only bc we’re obsessed, obviously. The Alps blow my hair back.
You totally faked it in that pic, look hot for an early AM:)
I adore your devotionals. Thank you for always sharing them!
oh i know! next summer, lets meet up there, deal!? haha.. no really
LOVE the fake it til you make it mentality, and this DYK post – such a cute idea!
Also… grilled cake…??? What?! Crazy talk!
i know! i kinda think angel food cake would work, yes?
I had no idea about the new milk. Interesting! I do know alllllll about allergies though. Ugh!
DYK that scallions actually can improve a recipe? I usually blow them off, but I actually added them today. I’ve been missing out!
ohh yes, i love scallions. Post that recipe!
I need to try that milk and the protein powder! You are the one person I completely trust when it comes to flavors for my proteins!
i think you’d like them both! plus the protein powder is great for baking!
i love this and MUST find that milk. i am so glad you are feeling better and yes i did know it was bastille day! infact, last night we went to a belgium/french place and it was rocking because of the special day. did you know that i too enjoy seeing men in spandex (i think you do know this!) and that i watched the ironman on tv today-incredible athletes!
this is why we need to live by each other. Oh the fun we would have! Happy post bastille day!
So many yummy things 🙂
I’ve never tried sunflower seed milk, but I definitely like the idea of it! Can’t wait to hear how it is!
it’s very similar to almond milk, stats and all. I guess it’s just a nut free option. Good alternative!
sunflower seed milk? might have to try that. I don’t drink any milk very often, usually only in smoothies, but we’ve switched to almond milk instead of real milk.
i still love my almond milk, it’s good stuff. Did you know i drink a a gallon or more a week? yep!
Love this! I love grilling it up, we had such beautiful weather this weekend, it was my first grill of the season. It was awesome. Did you know, your posts always make my day super positive!!
did you know i love you woman! make me smile.. BIG!
“Fake it till you make it” haha! I’ll have to remember that one. The grilled meat and veggies sound sooooo good. Not so sure about cake. Hmmm…
don’t know how one would even grill cake but it does sound tempting, maybe? lol
i’m not a cyclist but i’ve been a big fan of watching them in their spandex 😉 my BIL is in paris right now and is a cyclist so he will be watching them come in for the end of the tour /jealous!! did you know…there is a new dairy free, vegan ice cream on the market by KOV? it’s coconut milk based and i’ll be putting it on the blog soon! love finding tasty but not overly sugar laden treats that don’t hurt my belly!
oh i am jealous! we would love to be there now watching the tour, some day.
and what’s this? a new dairy free ice cream? Whole foods perhaps?
you KNOW i’m obsessed with the grill 🙂 🙂 lately i’ve been adding sauerkraut to EVERYTHING it just goes so perfectly on top of grilled veggies & chicken with mustard and hummus! mmm now i want some haha. i’ve seen so many people in NY post silly pictures of themselves dressed up for bastille day!
oh dang, now i might just be craving that. I love sauerkraut! You know i am half german, right?
😉
Oh yes, it’s all about the Tour around here too : ) My hubby says it’s like January at the gym when he’s out for a ride. He’s glad though that it brings attention to the sport because he does love his riding.
I’ll have to check out that pea protein! Right now I’m using Sun Warrior Warrior Blend. I like it a lot because it also is grain-free, gluten-free, etc.
Thanks a bunch for including your little devotion! I really feel the Lord is speaking to me about my habit of trying to take care of my problems and worries on my own instead of turning to Him. That’s just what I needed!
Nicole
yes! us too! so glad it brings attention to the sport! We need it.
And the devotional hit home with me too. Give it over the lord, use his strength!
Did you know you are awesome? 🙂 I saw that milk the other day, so I can’t wait to hear what you think! Where do you find your cultured buttermilk and sour cream?
it’s good! kinda like almond milk. And i got the cultured sour cream at natural grocers. Love that place!
p.s.
YOU ARE AWESOME!
Lol I’m not sure it should be called “milk”… why is it Almond milk, hemp milk etc? Shouldn’t it just be like… Almond “soak” or something?
And I recently started using sour cream and you’re right, its great! Wish my refrigerator wasn’t broken so that I could keep it in my house… Lol. How do you use the buttermilk?
Have a great Sunday Lindsay
true true… almond drink maybe? and i use the buttermilk in protein pancakes, omelets, or in smoothies. I like that sour taste. But a little goes a long way. ya know?
I just had my first grilled lettuce and it was an amazing salad. I like your DYK.
i know, unreal good! have you tried watermelon yet? grilling it?
I have not! Do you oil it or anything?
i havent tried it yet either, i’m thinking maybe in foil?
Interesting milk- let us know how it tastes. And thanks for the link to the vegan protein powder. We’re always looking for a better tasting one for my husband.
Hmm…my dyk: my first run back after vacation kind of sucked. Running on sidewalks and stopping at lights isn’t nearly as nice as running on the hard sand of the beach with the ocean on one side and gorgeous beach homes on the other!
i know the feeling too. But at least you got that time on the beach, ya know? i love admiring gorgeous homes while running too!
Gilling…yummy! I need to bust out my george foreman…;) haha I’m such a student!
hmm DYK fact…DYK after 7hrs of training you go to the grocery store & come home with watermelon, coconut milk ice cream, and makings for homemade gf vegan pizza…and somehow I don’t have leftovers?? 😉
girl you deserve all that delicious food! how did the pizza turn out? i am in love with coconut ice cream, banana, and protein powder smoothies!
Pizza was flax seed crust w/ spinach, kale, white beans, red peppers & nutritional yeast and daiya. 🙂 oh I’m so doing that with the ice cream tonight!!
I’ve only recently started grilling veggies…and I LOVE sweet potatoes and zuch/squash…oh, and kale. Heather got me there. Haha. It’s so much easier to grill things than to make a million dirty dishes.
When I get back from Chicago…I’m ordering some bites. Hold me to that.
I’ve decided that from now on, every night I’ll be reading a devotional before bed. It’ll be a peaceful way to wind down, I think. Do you prefer a certain time to do them?
PS: KISS! 😀
oh i know!! Kale is delicious! i want to try watermelon next. And yes, order up some healthy bites. KISS KISS!
i tried the original sol sunflower seed milk a couple months ago, and it was pretty good! i honestly don’t know if i’d buy it again since almond milk is still my favorite, BUT it was still nice to change things up a bit! did you know that it rained here today?!?! it’s a miracle – it hasn’t rained here in foreverrrr! we definitely needed it. praise God!
DYK I finished this horrid final for one of my classes this weekend LOL! It was insane but it didn’t beat me :-D. DYK I went to the gym today and it was raining here and the voice in my head said go home & rest on a rainy day but I went anyway and it was AWESOME ;-). Excited about the pea protein. YAY! And sunflower seed milk… Awesome sauce!! Have a great weekend Lindsay!! 😀
i’m so glad you got to the gym. That’s a lot of determination right there. Freaking awesome Kanoelani!
Sunflower seed milk sounds amazing! Can’t wait to hear what you think!!! I’ve got a pea based protein powder, taste is average but the stats are good. Definitely drinkable if it is mixed in with a fruit smoothie!
DYK I’m still in pajamas and it is after midday…
oh yes, enjoy those pajamas! its the weekend!
dyk i did my first Body Pump class yesterday and it almost killed me. I did it though…. if I can get through labour I can get through anything, Ha 😉 What brand of protein powder was that?
I’m so proud!! Way to go Lou!! Strong Woman! The pea protein is from designs of health. I bet it’s iherb. I’ll look it up!
I want to try that protein powder! DYK that I almost bought that sunflower seed milk today, but I was too chicken?? lol! Let me know how you like it!
What??? Why? You should go for it. No fear!
Girl I wish we could watch the Tour de France together!!!! Grab a bottle of wine or kombucha and just sit and enjoy it 😉 wishing we were actually there…. oh that would be amazing!
Girl I need to move closer to.you!!! So fun!
Grilling French Toast? ShutTheFrontDoor! I’ll have to give that a try!
I know!!! How delicious does that sound? 😛
MMMM yay for grilling! DYK that running in the rain mid-summer is the best thing ever? (I bet you did)
Best feeling ever!!!! A summer must.
DYK that I get to see you in like 2 weeks!!!!!!!!
OMG yes! Rendez vous with you. WOO WOO! Super excited! I’m also super excited about your big reveal tomorrow. Good things happening over at LL! Love ya!
did you know … that i hate packing and moving? 🙂 yeah, i knew, too, but i’m being reminded of it right now! love sunflower seed butter i’m going to have to check out that sunflower seed milk!
I feel your pain. Maybe you need some healthy bites. Shall I send you some? xxoo
Sunflower seed milk?? I’ll have to be on the lookout! I just recently tried pea protein for the first time and it was great! Plant Fusion also has a good amino profile.
Ohhh, I’ll n have to check out plant fusion. Thx!!
you can grill cake?? That’s so cool!! I don’t really have any dyk’s haha. But, I hope you have a fantastic weekend friend <3
I know! I want to make cake just to grill. Haha. Happy weekend friend.
