I have been steadily improving my diet and getting rid of things that aren't helpful to my body and focusing on whole nutrient dense foods. This has not been an easy journey, but it's certainly getting better the more I stick with it. I'm trying not to eat any sugar, except in natural forms like fruit. This also includes avoiding starchy foods like noodles and bread. </div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
So with these guidelines, I have been forced to get creative with my cooking. I find cooking healthy and eating well to be very rewarding. I'm going to start sharing more of the healthy recipes that I love. </div>

With that said, I present <b>creamy avocado spaghetti squash</b>. Yum. It's so filling, full of flavor, and nutrient dense. I was inspired to make this recipe from this vegan recipe round up on <a href="http://ohsheglows.com/2013/01/13/top-15-vegan-recipes-of-2012/">Oh She Glows</a>. Here is my spin on it. </div>

<b>Roasting the spaghetti squash:</b></div>
<br />
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Start by cutting the spaghetti squash in half length wise. One trick is to cut the stem and head of the squash off before you cut it length wise. Take out the seeds. Drizzle the squash with olive oil and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 40 minutes or until tender. </div>

While that is cooking you can make the sauce.</div>

<b>Avocado cream sauce:</b></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
1 avocado</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
2 cloves garlic minced</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
1 handful of spinach <i>(optional)</i></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
2 -4 tablespoons of Greek yogurt </div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
1/4 cup cashews <i>(soaked in water for a few hours)</i></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Use a blender or food processor to mix this up. If you don't have either just mash it with a fork. </div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
I garnished with tomatoes because I love the contrast with the green. Of course you should garnish with whatever you have around. </div>

This past weekend was all about cleaning, and organizing my life. Especially in my design studio. The intense holiday season took its toll on the studio. It was a total embarrassing mess. I found myself very uninspired and avoiding go in the room if possible with so many random piles and boxes everywhere. </div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">

And it's amazing. After I finished cleaning, I felt like I had also cleansed my mind. I don't think I realized what a toll it was taking on me. </div>

One of my personal projects is to fill the walls of my studio with little pieces of inspiration and ephemera. I think its coming along nicely. Because everything is just taped to the wall, it's easy and grows organically. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">Adorn your table top with my new succulent garden coaster and trivet set. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">If you can't tell already, I have been obsessed with succulents for the past year or so. When I go on walks around Portland, I snap lots of photos of succulents and then come home and draw them. These drawing have been laser cut out of </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">1/4 inch birch plywood with beautiful lines and character.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">They feel very substantial and nice to use. They have a light polyurethane finish that helps protect the wood from moisture. Check them out <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/CuriousDoodles?section_id=12401117">here</a>.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">Oh my, I've been in calendar mode lately. I'm excited to finally share with you my new wall calendar design.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">This 2013 poster calendar combines screen printing and laser cutting for a very unique limited edition piece of functional art. A stunning stained glass effect is created if you place in front of a window. Also looks great simply taped to the wall or framed. For a pop accent, use a colored backer behind the papercut. You can purchase <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/CuriousDoodles?section_id=12335257">here</a>. </span><br />

These are one of my favorite treats. And, really easy to whip up. I just cut a sweet potato into slender fries. Rub them with olive oil and cook for about 30 minutes on 350 degrees. Salt and pepper to taste.<br />

These are a little more burnt than they are suppose to be, but I don't mind the crispy parts. Yum!<br />

The tea towel is coming soon! I'm in the final design stages for my 2013 Tea Towel Calendar Kit. It's so fun to see what it looks like stitched up. My weekend consisted of watching way to many episodes on Netflix while stitching this tea towel up. Pretty relaxing overall. </div>

This recipe has changed my outlook on zuccini. Don't get me wrong, I like zucchini alot, but this way of cooking them takes it to the next level. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And its pretty easy.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For the recipe you will need zuccini or squash cut into fry shapes. In one container add 2 egg whites and alittle bit of olive oil. In another container add bread crumbs. I used panko crumbs, but you could make your own as well. If you have nutritional yeast add it to the dry mixture to get a slight cheesey flavor. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Dip your your zucchini strips into the egg mixture and then roll them in the dry mixture trying to coat them evenly. Repeate for all the zuccini. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Roast in the oven at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When they came out of the oven they were instantly devoured. It became clear that the recipe was a success, but I didn't make enough. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I getting more brave with my cooking projects. This year I ordered 25 lbs of pickling cucumbers from my <a href="http://www.mintogrowers.com/">CSA</a>. I have to admit, I was not really prepared for them when I got them. 25 lbs is ALOT. I still had to find jars, spices, etc. So at 10pm at night we were running around to different grocery stores trying to find jars. No such luck. The next day I tried at Ace Hardware and they had an awesome stock of various sized jars. I went with 1.5 pint and 1 pint jars. After this canning experience, I would opt for the 1.5 or larger unless you have the really small pickles (2 inch). I went with a dill pickle recipe recommended by my friend <a href="http://www.takofibers.com/">Emily</a>. You can find the recipe <a href="http://saintsforselfreliance.blogspot.com/2011/03/food-preservation-dill-picklesgreen.html">here</a>. This batch yielded 36 jars! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I found packing the jars and loading them with the spices to be the most enjoyable. They look so pretty. </div>

The design was inspired by the wonderful feeling of being emmersed in nature. The front of the notebook features original illustrations of a geometirc bear and abstract sunset. I grew up in the piney woods of East Texas and we get some awesome sun sets there. The notebook holes are laser cut to make it easier to sew (like connect the dots). </div>

<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
EACH KIT CONTAINS:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
• 1 tree and sun laser cut notebook</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
• 1 geometric bear laser cut notebook </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
• Quality red and teal thread</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
• 1 needle</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
NOTEBOOK DETIALS:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
• Notebook size: 3.5" x 5"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
• Cover- Kraft paper 100% recycled</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
• Inside- Blank white paper 100% recycled</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I made a dress using <a href="http://www.patternrunway.com/"><span style="color: #0f00ee; text-decoration: underline;">Pattern Runway's</span></a> short sleeved <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/74251400/easy-short-sleeved-dress-pattern-elastic"><span style="color: #0f00ee; text-decoration: underline;">kimono dress</span></a>. I used a deep purple fabric with a nice drape to it. I found cutting out the pattern to be one of the more challenging steps because of the slight stretch and slippery nature. </div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Overall the pattern was clear and easy to understand. I had a few problem spots like the sleeve facing kept wanting to poke out. I ended up tacking it down in 4 different places trying to be as discrete as possible. Also, at the base of the back closure, I wasn't sure how to keep this area neat. It looks a little weird to me, but I'm sure most people will never notice. </div>

I love the button closure on the back. I used a black vintage button from my stash. I also love the elastic waste band. It makes for a very comfortable dress. </div>

I accepted a full time Senior Design position at <a href="http://swiftcollective.com/">Swift Collective</a>. (yay!) The job is a lot of fun as well as a challenge.

Over the past few months, I've been taking steps to get myself into shape and shed some extra pounds. I'm biking to work now which is really nice because it builds in exercise into my routine.
