I got a pomegranate - it looked so refreshing and I hear the season is ending. First one I've bought! I followed directions to clean it and get the ariis out. Yum yum. I ate some scoopfuls with a spoon. What are some ideas for what to do with it?
There was no pancake Sunday today - I overdid it last week and had Pancake Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Maybe next week!
Yesterday was my longest run to date after Philly - 7 miles and it felt great! I was aiming for 3, and kept adding on. I love runs like that! Today is a winter wonderland - with the tree up, lights on, and snow - I'm just loving it! I went for a run w/ my sister outside in the wonderland. It was gorgeous out!
Nick turned 10 months today! Ahh! Everyone tells you it goes fast - and it goes even faster than that! He's getting to be a little man and is so fun. We took him out in the snow yesterday for a rendition of the Christmas story (the marshmallow like snow suit). I'm so excited for Christmas - babies make it
And a friend just started a blog - check it out here - she's studying to be a nutritionist/wellness counselor.
I've always wanted to buy a pomegranate but I've honestly don't have any idea how you are supposed to eat it! I will have to give it a go!
ReplyDeleteOH first N is just SOOOOO big and adorable - what a cutie!
ReplyDeleteI love pomegranate - so much that I can't bear to mix it up with anything else and dilute the flavor. Just take all the seeds, put them in a bowl after rinsing, and eat with a spoon. Usually finish the entire fruit myself in one sitting (snarf).
But ... they are DELISH in a spinach salad with walnut and raspberry dressing .... and some apple. If you must.
I bought a pomegranate earlier this year and just ate the seeds by themselves but like mentioned above, I bet they'd be great tossed in a salad.
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed the snow, too! Elena loved it so much that when we came in she through the biggest temper tantrum. And I totally agree that babies make Christmas!
ReplyDeletePoms are great on yogurt and oatmeal!
ReplyDeleteHere, they serve it on top of baba ganoush, an eggplant dip to eat with pita bread. Delicious!
ReplyDeleteNice snow pictures!
I love poms!
ReplyDeleteI miss snow this time of year!
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI've followed you for a while, but never posted before, but I just rediscovered a recipe for pomegranate. It is a Quinoa, Feta and Pomegranate salad.
Serves 4
300g quinoa
200g tenderstem broccoli
200g feta crumbled or cubed
1 handful pumpkin seeds toasted
seeds from 1 pomegranate
1 large handful of mint leaves roughly chopped
1 larege handful of flat leaf parsley, roughly chopped
4 tomatoes deseeded and chopped
1 bunch spring onions finely sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice.
salt and pepper to taste.
This recipe is for a cold salad, but given that it is winter I suspect you could adjust it to do it warm by just not letting the cooked items cool down. The tomatoes could be roasted I suppose but i'm not great with cooking toms because I don't eat tomatoes as they aggravate my stomach.
Hope you enjoy.
Kaz.
I like poms so much that I just eat them up out of the fruit, no time to mix into anything! I can't wait until Harper gets her first snow. Nick is so cute. Love the new header pic.
ReplyDeleteI may have to try a pom just to see if they are as good as I keep reading.
ReplyDeleteLove your new pictures. Did you get to run your 7 in the snow? I love winter running...with no ice!
Happy 10 months!
I just tried my first pomegranate last week. Yummy, but I had a hard time with all the little pits/seeds.
ReplyDeleteHappy 10 months to Nick! Such a cute smile he has!
Pomtinis =) (Pomegranate Martinis)
ReplyDeleteAwwwh...Nick is soo cute in his snow suit! You got so much snow!! A woman that works w/ my parents eats poms to detox. I don't know anything about this (yet) but I thought I would share :) I have never bought one...they are soo intimidating.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lil shout out!
Your attitude about the snow is much better than mine. Bah humbug!
ReplyDeleteI am addicted to pomegranates! They're $2.50 a pop here...so I treat myself while they are in season. I just eat them whole. I find it to be a fun activity while watching "the office" at night:> They would probably be good on a salad w/ goat cheese and carmelized walnuts, but then I think everything is delish with goat cheese:>
ReplyDeleteOnce I've got all the pips/seeds out of a pom, I'm totally over it :-) Kinda like pistachios. I buy the de-shelled ones :-)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about time flying. Cairn will be 1 next month!
Nick is SOOO cute all bundled up! I love the pictures too! Its so pretty there!
