MIMM: Try and Faux Rye

Avatar photo

by Lindsay Cotter Posted: January 7, 2013

Jump to Recipe

Yes, my title rhymes. I actually didn’t mean it to but hey, I’m going with it. Winking smile

Today is a Marvelous in My Monday. I haven’t done one these in a while and I am so glad that I get to today! Thanks Katie!

thehealthydiva

My marvelous has to do with a recipe and food for thought of course, so stay will me here.

Food For Thought:

If I ask my husband what his plan is for the day, he often begins with the statement,

“I’m going to try to……” run this errand, train this long, complete this chore, pay this bill, meet up with this person, etc. etc. etc.

He’s a smart man, he knows that he should never set anything in stone with our daily plans because they often change, and HOURLY! But trying is just as good in my book, that’s if you really DO TRY!

This year we are TRYING to save more, TRYING to spend less, but still TRYING to eat well and stress less.

My $2 5lb cauliflower baby I got from the farmers Market, my homemade chocolate protein pudding (with a side of marshmallows of course), and my thrifty quick and easy tuna cakes (recipe instagramed here).

cauli pudding tuna cakes

This year I am TRYING to get more organized (slowly but surely), heck I might even update my recipe page. Wish me luck trying!

This year I am TRYING to listen to what my body needs DAILY versus weekly, and I am TRYING to NURTURE the time and relationships I have in my (our) life.

Click the picture for the article mind and body

This year I am TRYING to expand Healthy Bites. Trying to get these bites MORE readily available and to MORE people. It’s my passion and career. Yes, scary and risky, but I gotta try!

We never know what we can do until we TRY. Am I right? But then again, trying gives us wiggle room.

I may have overslept , I may have not completed all the things on my to do list, and I may have not budgeted properly this week but at least I tried and will

TRY harder next week. E is for Effort in this picture or EEEEEK!

IMG_20121231_052332

That’s how the Cotter household is functioning these day. Trying our hardest but not sweating the small stuff. I find that in the end, it can be pretty Marvelous, yes?

Speaking of Marvelous and Spending less money, this weekend I through together a grain-free bread recipe from the ingredients in our pantry. Trying to save money on GF bread by making our own. And trying to save money on ingredients by making my own almond meal flour, etc. Hello THRIFTY!

    Try and Faux Rye looks awesome!!! We will have to give it a try once our stomachs are better 🙂
    we are trying to get better at getting better organized too! and somewhat plan things out so we get them done! our days seem to change frequently too, so we are learning to just go with the flow and make the most out of each day!

    I do like to plan but it never works out the way I planned HAHA!! So in those times I try to be flexible & just try my hardest. In 2013 I’m trying for less stress and like you not sweating the small stuff :-). I want to live like no tomorrow & can’t do that worrying about what you didn’t get done, am I right??!! 😀

    Oh man, that bread looks SO excellent! Yum. My swim coach used to tell us there is not try only doing. And we’d practice “try” drills so he could prove his point. You know, like try and pick up a pencil, but it’s actually impossible to try since you either will or won’t pick it up. Anyways, sorry for that random tangent haha. I definitely prefer to have a plan set, but I’m learning more to go with the flow!

    Those are my exact goals this year! On the days that I don’t have a “have to” I definitely try and go with the flow. On a day like today when I’m going between clients, work, home, school for the boys, clients, work, home, school for the boys and back to work…I think you get the picture here…I have a plan for how things will go so I don’t lose track of time. I’m getting better at it slowly but surely!

    That recipe looks good, and I actually have all those ingredients! By ‘almond meal,’ do you mean ground almonds? I’d like to try this recipe.

    My husband and I set up a joint savings account this summer, and rather than transferring money to it every month, we had our bank automatically transfer the same, ‘do-able’ amount each month, like a monthly payment. It’s incredible how much we’ve saved so quickly with this, I often forget that we’re doing it.

    Good luck with all of your trying, with regards to Healthy Bites, I’m hoping that by trying to get them to more people, you might include those of us in the UK? One can hope (with the theme of my New Year’s post) can’t they? 😉

    Great post!

    I often overcommit myself to doing too much, too many things, and not saving enough time for me. I definitely could benefit from more of a “trying” attitude and realizing that there’s always tomorrow… I’d be happy to try to share some of my [OCD] organizational tendencies with you 😛

    So creative! I don’t even know how you came up with that bread recipe…

    And I try for so many things every day. I try to stay motivated in my job. I try to be PATIENT with my life and the decisions I’m making to move forward. I try not to worry about being single at 28 years old. I try not to compare myself to others. I try not to eat peanut butter straight from the jar every single night.

    You get the picture. 🙂

    I love the concept of TRYING or AIMING for your daily/weekly/monthly (or hourly ha) goals and plans but not setting that bar so high that there is just NO WAY you can get to it all. I need to be better at not jamming up every single hour of my days with THINGS and instead get better at pulling back, and just chilling…something I KNOW my husband would really REALLY appreciate,hehe.

    I absolutely agree with the trying method. Me and my friend were talking about this morning as we ran and both agreed that set training plans just don’t work for us because they are not intuitive enough. If you are feeling good try harder if your body is asking you to back off than try and listen and don’t force things because it’s on a peice of paper. Kind of off topic but thanks for letting me talk. 🙂

    Great post! Love the idea of TRYING – I’ve always struggled with saying “I WILL” even though people say you should phrase your goals that way. I guess our lives have changed so much too and part of me wants to save room for me changing, my goal changing or God intervening differently (more so in life, less so in goals)… Great thoughts. 🙂

    I’m more of a wing-it kind of girl while Mikey’s more of a planner. I’m okay to not have everything scheduled out – meals, workouts, living life one year to the next – just seems to be how I roll, although I’m learning the value of planning too. Thank you for the food for thought once again!

    I’m more of a “trying” kind of gal. I have a good idea of what I want to get accomplished in a day. Sometimes things are absolutes (like if I have an appointment or something that absolutely has to get done that day) but for the rest – no use stressing out if things don’t go as planned, so I just try to get the rest done and see where things take me.

    I used to need to have my plans set in stone, but then life kept laughing at me and changing everything around. It stressed me out to the point where I just gave up planning for anything and just tried to go with the flow. I’m actually finding it to be quite pleasant. Trying to be patient while I wait for my Healthy Bites, though? Not so pleasant 😉

    That bread recipe is truly inspired! And I don’t say that only because it hast favorite staple (Mila). I’m going to bake it this week (and will grind my own almond flour). Thanks for the inspiration.

    I totally understand the “try” vs the “do.” But I found that sometimes trying was an easy out for me for not going for it. You know? I’d say I’m going to try to run x miles and then felt like it was safer than saying I am going to run x miles. When I declare it, it’s more likely to happen. BUT I see that can also pile on pressure too. And sometimes trying is the first step in actually doing.

    Holy huge head of cauliflower!! That is pretty amazing. I love your perspective Lindsay. Yes, we never know what we’re capable of until we try. I like to have a plan that I then try to accomplish. I used to beat myself up when I couldn’t finish everything. Now I’m just happy if I can check off one thing. hee hee

    Currently drooling over the chocolate pudding and the bread!!! I usually like a set plan, but sometimes I am a go with the flow kind of girl. It all depends on the situation 🙂

    I’m a planner… but I try not to get too upset if it goes astray. As long as I’m making forward progress, I’m happy.

    I’d also be happy if I had some of that bread. 😉

    I’m such a planner!! I have to have a plan. I need to get more relaxed about it though… and be more relaxed if I don’t get everything done!

    I am the queen of setting a plan, of having a to-do list, and/or wanting to have a schedule. My husband is the exact opposite. I like to think that we balance each other out a bit, and land right at the comfortable spot in the middle. 😉

    But truth be told, sometimes it works that way, sometimes not. We are TRYING to help each other with our weaknesses (being strict and over-scheduling versus procrastinating and wasting time) and learning from each other’s strengths (organized and on-task versus flexibility and adaptability).

      opposite attract! I think i do the same with my husband. I’m less of a planner now but he’s more on top of it. Evens out, and yes, we help each other. Like you two do!

    I like to have a plan, and typically do, but I’m also trying to be more flexible when things change (because they do). And being more available with things come up that maybe I should do, even if it’s not in the plan. 🙂
