I'm Lovin' It!

I haven’t written an “I’m Lovin’ It” post in a looong time. So here goes nothing.

1. Hannah. I know this one is obvious but I cannot say enough how much she lights up my life. Her funny little faces could not be more precious. I’m lovin’ her! :)

 

2. Coffee creamer. Can I just say this is my new worst vice!? I got hooked over the Christmas holiday. I don’t buy it myself but when others bring it over or I’m out getting coffee… I cannot help myself! I always make coffee when we have it around now! It’s the best/worst thing ever! I’m lovin’ and hating it!

3. Red onions. I heard on the Dr. Oz show years ago that eating a cup of red onion a day can reduce your risk of ovarian cancer by something like 50%. Since ovarian cancer runs in my family…my interest was peaked. 1 cup of red onion seemed like A LOT though, especially since it’s so potent! The best way I have found to tolerate that much onion at one time is sauteed or roasted. I LOVE me some sauteed or roasted red onion! It’s SO delicious as a side dish, on top of greens, mixed with eggs, on top of pizza…I just can’t seem to get enough! Mmm I am getting hungry just writing this!

FYI: This is what I read on Healthy Body Daily:

” Red Onions contain at least 4 different cancer fighters – Onions can reduce your risk of cancer by 75%
Eating onions has been shown to reduce the risk of many types of cancer, including ovarian cancer. On the show, Dr. Li said that onions are the underdog of superfoods. Why? Because, although they can be strong on the breath, they are packed with natural cancer fighters, like apigenin, anthocyanin, myricetin and quercetin.
 
Red onions are about 60% more potent than yellow or white onions, in terms of the amounts of cancer fighters. They also have more flavor. But don’t boil onions; boiling them reduces their cancer-fighting properties by about 30%. The best way to eat them is raw or sautéed with a little oil in a pan. 
 
To protect against ovarian cancer, you should eat a half-cup of onions – cooked or raw – every day. That may sound like a lot, but onions are a versatile food. Think about having some in a salad for lunch, and having some sautéed with your meal for dinner. Before you know it, you’ll have eaten your daily dose.”

    Have you tried the Bailey’s creamers? They taste less “artificial” to me than the other brands now. Creme Brulee and Almond toffee or something are my faves. Yum! And I’m loving advacados – store up here sells them for like $.39/each. Mixed up with a little S&P and some lime juice with chips is my favorite night-time snack!

  • Hand to the sky, I LOVE red onions. Crispy, pack major flavor. They are seriously my fave!! Who knew I was doing good at the same time.

    Look at your bb!!! Adorbs, big smile!

    And I always thought I hated coffee, but turns out I hated the creamer in it. Ha! But, it smells amazefest.

  • I wish it was a long weekend…definitely working today :( I am loving Hannah, too…so cute! And coffee creamers, always a vice! I just looked at the label this morning – 6 grams of carbohydrate in ONE tablespoon. YIKES! I need to just back off the coffee because I don’t have the willpower to back off the creamers ;)

    PS…that Hannah pic is adorable. Even her strings of drool make my heart sigh. I miss her.

    I love ALL the very same things you love! Although I have moved away from flavored creamers, and moved to using flavored coffee grounds. That doesn’t mean I don’t still LOVE creamer.
    Also, this is awesome news about red onion! I love it anyway. Now I just have an excuse to eat it more often! Thanks for the info!

  • International Delight is the best. At the office, some girls are splitting their york peppermint patty. At home, I have Coldstone Creamery flavored. I use just a hint of it with a shot of milk… so I figure it’s not too bad. ;)

  • awww so darling! I’ve been loving fermented drinks/foods, pastured eggs and ghee! mmmmm
