Did I really just use the word lovin’ in a title? Yes, yes I did. But hey, it is Valentines month, so it’s justifiable. Or so I think.But I have to confess, the kiwi and I aren’t really that’s romantic. I know I know. Corny Cotter is not romantic. I think we show our love by spending time with each other hanging out and of course food. Food is always love in our house.
So here are a few of my favorite Valentine’s Day gluten-free recipes. An oysters recipe is in there…oh, I’m so cliche.
*This is a sponsored opportunity with Foodie.com
And to keep the theme of love on this marvelous Monday, we’ll go with a few other things I’m loving. Or how I phrase… “loving this!”
I’m loving actually having time to get a haircut because now it’s less work style. And also helps to have a nuttzo trucker hat after I workout to cover up the frizz.
I’m loving sizzlefish! They are amazing company and even more amazing sis delivered right to your door. Our go to right now is trout with collard greens lemon garlic and red pepper.
I’m loving having Mila Chia back in my pantry. It’s basically a Chia flour. So good to bake with too. Can’t wait to make my Grain free faux rye bread again this week. Will probably use a different variation. So stay tuned for another recipe that’s grain free and omega rich.
I’m loving running trails without a Garmin, just me and my Mizunos. Although that probably has to change soon since I’ll be running a 200 mile relay is in two months. Thanks to our Team Captain Taylor for reminding me. I better start actually training now. Ha.
And of course I’m loving all these flavors for February’s healthy bites giveaway and recipe. Now I just need to finalize one. What do you want to see? Dark chocolate cherry Chia, cherry vanilla, cashew cocoa GF pretzel, or raspberry chocolate chip?
Lastly, I’m loving this. It’s Corny Cotter at its finest.
okay, you know I have to end with this question.
What’s your “loving this” statement this week?
Cheers,
LC

February 3, 2014 at 7:05 AMmmm, I am loving my treadmill since I am watching another 5-8″ falling outside. Work is closed. Kids are home. Eh, it’s all good. Love that quote at the end. So true. The 200 mile relay sounds like a lot of fun!
LCCotter says

Running without a garmin feels so good, I am thinking about writing a post about the obsession that a garmin can bring. I see it so often with my athletes, and I have definitely been there! Bet the trails are gorgeous! I am gonna be stuck inside with Tara for a few days on the treadmill! Boo!
LCCotter says

Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
February 3, 2014 at 7:27 AMOooh love your hair!! This week, I’m loving my green smoothies. Lately it’s been really cold so drinking a cold smoothie in the morning has been a challenge, but I’ve craved them hard for the last little while and my bod is LOVING their return!
Jessie says
February 3, 2014 at 7:46 AMYou’re ADORABLE and I LOVE your hair. I wish I could pull of the short hair look.. however w/ thick hair I’d look like I just got electricuted over & over again. 🙁

Linz @ Itz Linz says
February 3, 2014 at 7:47 AMi can’t pick between all those healthy bites options! maybe you should send me a sample of each and then i could make a more fair decision??? 😉
misszippy says
February 3, 2014 at 7:56 AMYou are always adorable and the hair looks fantastic! Loving these recipes…chia flour is new to me. I’m loving the book I just finished and also loving progress with the injury.
Amanda @ .running with spoons. says
February 3, 2014 at 8:08 AMI’m not loving having to choose between all those delicious flavours, but I AM loving the sound of those cashew cocoa GF pretzel bites. Holy.yum.
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
February 3, 2014 at 8:14 AMI’ll give you a piece of my mind: cashew cocoa GF pretzel!!!
Holly @ EatGreatBEGreat says

I’m loving pancakes! I seriously can’t get enough of them! This obsession has been going on for 2 weeks now.
Brittany @ Freckled Nettles says
February 3, 2014 at 8:29 AMLovely haircut! I just got around to trimming mine too. Shew, it feels wonderful! I’m loving green smoothies! They’re so quick, versatile, and not to mention fabulous as a pancake too 🙂 Happy Monday!
LCCotter says

Sarah Kay Hoffman says
February 3, 2014 at 8:47 AM*Hi you!* I LOVE the last quote….giving of the heart:) THANK YOU for the awesome Monday reminder.
LCCotter says
February 3, 2014 at 1:29 PMHi friend. Love you! Love your heart. <3
Jennifer F says
February 3, 2014 at 9:02 AMCute hair! I’m loving Litehouse Food’s Strawberry Yogurt dip this week 😉 and figuring out some ways to use it in recipes. There’s a cake in the oven right now 🙂
Katie says
February 3, 2014 at 9:02 AM“I boldly let go & trust in God” it was one of my quotes from my daily word book..I love it! Lots of upcoming events & not sure how they will all turn out but I’m just going with it! Plus going to church again on a regular basis feels good & I’m LOVIN that 🙂 Oh & I should mention… I canNOT stop making your recipes. MUAH!!!!
Katie says
February 3, 2014 at 10:58 AMOh oops forgot to mention… Your hair looks great 🙂
LCCotter says
February 3, 2014 at 12:54 PMi saw your cut and wanted to be like you! <3
Carly @ Snack Therapy says
February 3, 2014 at 9:26 AMHahaha, Jake and I aren’t very romantic, either. To us, romance means sitting on the couch, both wearing a pair of Jake’s sweats, eating take-out. Hot, right ;)?
For the HBs, you gotta go with the GF pretzel… Salty and sweet always wins out!
Jody - Fit at 56 says
February 3, 2014 at 9:29 AMCherry vanilla for me but I am sure that will get the least votes. 😉
Love your hair too.. and collection of recipes!!!
Loving that it is a new week to start anew & all the other goodies on my blog today! 🙂
Paige @ Your Trainer Paige says
February 3, 2014 at 9:40 AMStill so weird that it’s February! I have a feeling this month will speed right past my eyes, too, if I don’t do something about it.
I’m loving taking a look at my own thoughts this week…kind of a process thing I’m going through right now – but I’m lovin’ it! Have a good day, girl 😉
LCCotter says
February 3, 2014 at 5:43 PMand i’m loving your thoughts. Stepping back and evaluating. So good! let’s catch up soon
Krysten Siba Bishop (@darwinianfail) says
February 3, 2014 at 9:51 AMLOVE YOUR HAIR!!! You are so cute!! And I love all of these recipes! So yummy!
Marcia says
February 3, 2014 at 10:07 AMLOVE your hair! Super cute! I finally (after almost a freaking year) got my haircut last week, alas the stylist was ‘afraid’ to cut it and after begging 3 times to take more off, I gave up. It’s better ‘healthier’ overall but my hair grows like a weed and I wanted MORE! Sigh.
Mizunos are my forever love! Mmmmm raspberry chocolate chip!
Lindsay @ Lindsay Weighs In says
February 3, 2014 at 10:41 AMI am LOVIN’ the Corny Cotter quote that you ended with – a piece of your heart is ALWAYS better than a piece of your mind. Also, you are the cutest – your hair is so rockin’ <3
Lindsay @ Lindsay Weighs In says
February 3, 2014 at 10:42 AMI am LOVIN’ the Corny Cotter quote that you ended with – a piece of your heart is ALWAYS better than a piece of your mind. Also, you are the cutest – your hair is so rockin’ <3 P.S. I am also LOVIN' the blogging community & all the support and LOVIN' that I started Lindsay Weighs In!
LCCotter says
February 3, 2014 at 5:41 PMi am too friend! Lindsay’s LOVIN! haha. so glad you approve of corny cotter too
Lucie@FitSwissChick says
February 3, 2014 at 10:45 AMCashew cocoa GF pretzel!!! Omg it sounds amazzing!!
Sandro and me aren’t romantic either, lol. I feel so awkward when someone gets romantic towards me. Haha 🙂
I just got a Garmin lately and it’s so nice to finally see what I’m actually doing 🙂
Liz @ I Heart Vegetables says
February 3, 2014 at 10:49 AMFirst of all, your hair looks so cute! Secondly, I love that quote about giving people a bit of your heart 🙂
LCCotter says
February 3, 2014 at 1:21 PMme too!! the quote… it’s blunt and powerful and yet comforting
Katie says
February 3, 2014 at 11:46 AMYou are such a sappy romantic. Admit it. 😉
I’m loving the fact that I worked my tail off for the last three weeks and am now looking at a couple weeks (at least!) of relative downtime. I still have the normal weekly and daily things, but there aren’t any big looming projects on the immediate horizon. Finally, I didn’t procrastinate, and now? I GET IT!!
LCCotter says
February 3, 2014 at 12:53 PMahhh it’s true. we’re not romantic. corny yes, lovey dovey.. eh. not really. haha.
And yay for productivity!!
LCCotter says
February 3, 2014 at 1:32 PMp.s. Have you been posting? if so, i haven’t seen any in my bloglovin
Tiff says
February 3, 2014 at 12:17 PMWhew! That’s a long relay. I’d need a huge team! Haha
I’m loving that the babe is asleep on my lap right now. Sleeping > Screaming
LCCotter says
February 3, 2014 at 1:33 PMyay!! he’s sleeping!!
Brittany @ Delights and Delectables says
February 3, 2014 at 1:00 PMI stinking LOVE your hair!!!!! OMG!!
I tried my hand at making bites… they are good… just not as good as the REAL THING! I did chocolate cherry for V-day! 🙂
Kelly @ Cupcake Kelly's says
February 3, 2014 at 1:21 PMCashew Cocoa! I admit, Nick and I aren’t that into the Valentine’s day thing either. Last year he sent me roses and I yelled at him because they overcharged and the flowers were wilted. I love that he wanted to send me something but I don’t like succumbing to the idea that we have to do the traditional things. I love cooking and having a nice meal at home (I mean I love that any day of the year)
LCCotter says
February 3, 2014 at 1:30 PMman we are so alike!
GiGi Eats Celebrities says
February 3, 2014 at 1:27 PMI am a little offended you didn’t have a section saying, “I am loving… GIGI” – BAH HA HA HA!!! Common now. I thought I was the 3rd wheel in your relationship with Kiwi, where’s the shout out, LMFAO 😉
LCCotter says
February 3, 2014 at 1:31 PMi saw you were having a love affair with salmon and squash and got jealous.
GiGi Eats Celebrities says
February 3, 2014 at 4:23 PMI GUESS…… I see your point!
Melissa @ Treats With a Twist says
February 3, 2014 at 1:33 PMYour hair is so cute!! And I def have some GF treats up my sleeve for ya 😉
Humm…loving this? I’m loving my HUSBAND. I can’t believe that it’s already almost been four months since our wedding, and we’re about to have our first Vday as husband and wife together. How sweet. I love how he is always there for me, holding my hand when the going gets tough. Awe 🙂
LCCotter says
February 3, 2014 at 5:38 PMi just love the love here. Being a wife is a blessing.
Kim K says
February 3, 2014 at 2:31 PMvote here for chocolate cherry! you (and your hair) are absolutely adorable. what am i lovin this week? hm i am lovin the possibility that my bronchitis may go away at some point? so that i can have a successful run without my chest hurting? i am NOT loving the 10 inches of snow predicted here on wednesday.
LCCotter says
February 3, 2014 at 2:39 PMoh no!! not good running weather. I still think you need to move here. <3
the delicate place (@misathemeb) says
February 3, 2014 at 2:33 PMcuuuute hair! did you get it lightened too? i am loving on sweet hot mustard from trader joes and the fact that it is not negative degrees outside haha!
LCCotter says
February 3, 2014 at 5:40 PMi did! i’m trying to gradually go back to blonde. Maybe it will trick our weather into thinking it’s summer. ha
Taylor @ Liftingrevolution says
