I got skills | Green Dog Wine

January 12, 2010 | Filed in: Uncategorized

I’ve been meaning to brag to you guys for almost a week now!

About what you ask?

My mad cereal makin’ skills:

[me]&goji let me make another customized mix, because I helped them promote their Facebook page! Are you a fan?! WHY NOT?! FAN THEM!

I loved their product the first time I got to try it this summer – and this time – I tried out new ingredients: Don’t worry – I stayed away from the goldenberries this time! Guess what?? The saying should be “Second times the charm!” This was a perfect combo of salty, sweet, crunchy, smushy, you name it! All the cereal/granola you’ve been seeing me eat lately in my yogurt has been my wonderful Green Dog Goji creation! It’s perfect to eat as a mix in to oatmeal or yogurt, or just as plain cereal! Thanks [me]&goji! Hence – my breakfast yesterday! Pretty please with a blackberry(??) on top! Lunch I actually surprised myself with! My friend Kristin had been talking about this awesome poppyseed salad her and her boyfriend always eat – so I thought “Hmm, wonder if I could create that at work?” What do you think?

Pears, feta, Poppyseed dressing, and a drizzle of Balsamic Vinegar: 1.11 048 Pretty darn amazing for a work lunch – if I do say so myself! If you haven’t tried this combo out yourself – do it!

I didn’t get home from work until late (I really thought things were supposed to be dying down, but they are still pretty bad!) – so when I walked in the door – I wanted food, and I wanted it RIGHT THAT MOMENT. So what did I go for?

Weiners! (Pervert!) (yep, I’m 4) 2 turkey dogs, with a salad and some more feta: and a pickle of course! I’d love to some more fun pictures or stories – but I’ve been so busy that I’m drained, and pretty boring this week!

I’ve got a few vacation days I’m planning on taking soon – do ya’ll have any fun ideas on what I could do with my days off? Do tell!

Wow, you are seriously a very healthy conscious person. Your meals are so…. healthy! Well, I had recently just cleared a few days of vacation. I took my boys to the city and spent 2 days in a hotel and shopping till we dropped! On top of that, I’d also baked bread, cakes and cookies to my heart’s content:D Very relaxing if you like it.

You definitely have salad skills! Looks goood!

I love your ghetto dogs next to a gourmet looking salad You are such a boy sometimes, and I mean that in the best way possible!

i just had that salad again – AMAZING!!!

Mmm the nola looks yummy! I’ve never tried me and goji, only mix my granola! I need to give it a go. Great lunch salad too! Its like work gourmet! What about a trip to the aquarium? We’ve SO been wanting to do that!

My dad used to know a man named Dick Weiner and a man named Dick Cox. Seriously! I still think that’s funny and hopefully you do too!

Oooo, oooo, oooo, pick me, pick me!! You should come and visit Andrea and me!!

Okay, was my comment totally inappropriate? Other people are talking about what you should do on vacation and of course, I bust in with my 4th grade humor.

You should go skiing! Is there skiing in Ohio? I know there’s snow…

Your granola sounds rocking!

That cereal looks amazing! I met up with Shannon from the Daily Balance tonight for coffee and she told me to check out your site. Its great. I’m from Cleveland too. So, for vacation here, how about a little snowshoeing at Chapin Woods or a visit to the art museum, its re.

you could hang out with ME! i think it’s a crying shame that we haven’t met yet

Come to chicago and visit me and eatingbender!

that me&goji sounds ammmazing!

you could always hone your baking skills that you’ve been working on during your vacation days =)

ahhh me and goji!! im so jelous! looks like you did good pickin out your cereal!!

I just enjoyed a staycation of my own before starting my new job this Monday. I spent it renovating some rooms, having friends/family over for dinner parties, working out, shopping for new work clothes and generally relaxing!

If I were you (and had planned my week better), I would hit up all the great CLE institutions – Cleveland Museum of Art, the Zoo (on a warmer day!), Detroit Shoreway area, Metroparks, and so on. I always forget about all the great things we have in town.

How exciting to have few days off! I would probably go visit my family and do a little shopping and movie-watching with my mom.

You know, there wasn’t a single puppy picture in that post! I miss them

I have nooooo doubt u will think of something fun!!! I have to find that dressing, I recently had a salmon salad with goat cheese, candied walnuts and poppyseed dressing that was the BEST thing of my life!!

Oooh. I want some of that cereal. Hum…

Come to DC?

that salad with the pear and poppyseed looks so good! i think i might have to try to recreate that.

Big fan of your blog! love your salads and have followed suit!

take your dogs to the metroparks!! i miss the cleveland metroparks

mmmm i love poppyseed dressing! and that me+goji creation looks perfecto. just like you. enjoy your days off, whatever you do!

Take those couple of days, jump on a plane to CO and lets go on a Brewery Tour bender!!!!!

I like to go hiking and get fresh air, get pedicures or manicures with friends, do some sort of activity I rarely have time for like a matinee or trip to the museum. Do you ski? SKIING! A quaint bed and breakfast with a friend, Mike or someone in the fam. Hotsprings? A trip to the Library and then a day in bed reading

I love using my days off as a time to do stuff I always mean to do but never get around to. Like visiting local museums, the aquarium, catching up on reading, etc. Just a thought, but whatever you do, ENJOY!

You totally have skills – not just in cereal making, in salad making awesomeness!! You even made your wieners look creative

My last staycation I completely organized and cleaned every room in our house. Not as fun as say the Caribbean but it feels awesome to have everything in order.

I’ve got some smart life dogs hanging in my freezer for one of those feed me now days!!

Me and Goji is awesome stuff

That looks like some yummy cereal!

Um, on my days off I relax and play with the puppy – but I’m sure you already do that so I’m not sure! More baking adventures, perhaps?

Go to Iceland and have a relaxing long spa weekend! Best trip ever!

Ignore everybody’s suggestions and come to Portland! Deluxe accommodations (sofa bed + snuggly pug) await you at Casa Care to Eat!

Make it a day about you. Get a massage, get yo nails did and then maybe spend the a few hours at a winery with some friends and appetizers and games. Whenever I have just a single day to play around with, I find myself driving to my favorite winery with a bag full of goodies and board games. SO relaxing.
