    I may steal your 30 minute weight lifting today at lunch – I don’t incorporate enough strength training!

    Mmmm….steak – looks delicious!

    I have a hard time just sitting still, while my husband is content to watch t.v. all night long!

      Give it a try and let me know how you like it.

      My boyfriend is the same way. If he spent the whole weekend sitting and watching TV he’d be content. Me? I want to DO THINGS. Makes it hard to relax.

    I have such a hard time taking it easy! It’s something I am really trying to work on. Acorn squash w/ brown sugar is pretty good, but it’s better w/ maple syrup (preferably from VT 😉 )

      Okay maybe I will have to try the squash that way…..

    Take it easy is the theme song of my life. It is what I base the difficult decisions in my life on. Which road should I take? Oh…take it easy:)

      It’s my favorite Eagles song. 🙂 Glad someone got the reference!

    ha ha ha . . . I don’t think I know what “take it easy is”.

    And that’s not a good thing . . . I’m trying to learn! But it’s hard. I’m a type A, go-go-go person. However, knowing how and when to slow down is probably one of the best things I can do for both my mental and physical well-being.

      I’m glad I’m not the only one!!!!!

    We make the salad rolls at home all the time. I grew up eating them. They’re called ‘Vietnamese spring rolls’ but we just call them ‘rice paper rolls’. You just buy rice paper; i dont know about in a
    America but i can just get them from the asian section un the grocery store here, dunk a sheet in hot water a couple of times, put it on a small plate with a bit of excess hanging over the edge for easy rolling, put filling on and roll like a spring roll once soft . Then use a fish sauced base chilli sauce to dip

    My husband (an Aussie) can only fold it like a burrito haha

    I put in lettuce, carrot, cucumber, bout up boiled egg, prawns. It’s hard because I cook everything then put it in the fridge to be cold before I roll them and I just want to eat it then and not wait! Most people put vermicelli noodles in as well but I stopped to cut the carbs down, don’t really miss it now

    Now I want to cook them for lunch ..
    Definitely try making them at home !

    1. Lisa Eirene

      That sounds a lot easier than I was imagining! I will definitely give it a try at home. Thanks for the instructions! 🙂
