The Minimalist Yogi

I hope every Canadian had a great adventurous Canada day. This long weekend was pretty good, full of adventures and fun times. On Canada day instead of going all crazy, and wild like any 20 something girl university student would on days like that; a friend and I went out for Mexican food at Ahora ; a really cute, and cool Mexican restaurant. We had some beaver tail on our way home, and watched the fireworks from the roof top of my house; which was a little hard to see because there was a tree blocking our path. Despite it, it was a good Canada day. Also on this long weekend I had the chance of going to the farmers market on the Byward Market.   I wasn’t able to get a lot of things, but managed to buy some yummy leafy greens, and another plant to add to my garden. I decided to be semi adventurous, and get Swiss chard; which I’ve never tried before, or even cooked. However, to my surprise it actually like it, and managed to create a recipe out of it...

              Happy Friday!!Friday is finally here, and the weekend is just hours away. This week in Canada it is a long weekend with Canada day on July first. Of course there are a lot of things happening this weekend, however I am working all weekend so I am not sure that I will enjoy my weekend as I’d like to. On Saturday I am working, but I am closing so I’ll have time to do yoga which I haven’t done in a week, oh wait I actually did yoga last week, but I haven’t done hot yoga in two weeks; so it’s nice that I get a chance this weekend to do it. On Sunday I am working again, and on Canada Day Monday I am scheduled to work as well. Regardless, I am planning on have some fun after work hopefully if I am not tired after work.  If you are in Canada enjoy the long weekend with lots of friends, and Canada day activities; even better head down to the capital city and enjoy Canada day with performance with Carly Rae Jepsen, and Metric. For those ...

Lets talk about Cooking!!!! among the easies thing you can ever cook I have to say quinoa is on my top list. Its really easy, simple and effort able.
