Life is getting the better of me and I’m struggling to find a routine that allows me to blog and work and have a social life at the same time. I’m still adjusting, but it’s going to work. In the meantime, I developed this raw beet salad for Produce Made Simple this week, so you guys should go check that out! I love beets, and this recipe showcases their wonderfully sweet flavour with some ginger lime dressing.
I’ve been slowly cooking more now that I’m home, but it’s been the same stuff that I always make when I need comfort food. Kale soup, spaghetti squash with vegetarian “meat” sauce, vanilla cupcakes… I just haven’t mustered the creativity to create new things just yet.
I feel like I’m still processing stuff from camp, the Veg Food Fest, and my epic birthday party with my roommate. And with Online BlogCon going on this month, my brain has been getting stuffed with more and more information—I’m not sure what to do with it all.

Very nice salad. I can’t get enough of beets at this time of the year. Will pin it!

Girl, don’t be sad! May I suggest what helps me? Sometimes we just need a break. I took like a week break a few weeks ago, I just didn’t have creativity and was a little burnt out. Guess what? Everything was fine and I was totally refreshed and ended up creating a post (the scone one) that I was really proud of! I also try to limit my posts to three times per week and if I happen to miss a day, that’s okay. I think I only had two for the last two weeks. It’s important for me personally to remind myself that this is not my job, numbers don’t really mean that much, and my readers probably won’t be cranky-pants if I miss a few days. It’s all okay! My blog is my creative outlet. Sometimes we need a respite. I feel like you might be in a similar situation so I hope that helped… :) Keep yo’ head up! (BTW, still looking for cool Alaskan foodie pals things, but haven’t found any yet!!)

Thanks Katie <3 I'm getting back on the horse today. Cooking and developing recipes for JSA corresponds with eating healthier and not just eating ramen noodles every day (I found some vegan ones and I've been going through a ramen phase haha). I'm heading to the mall this weekend, I'll be grabbing some stuff that you might like =)
