Mousing (by m_Summers)
Hi, I'm Jess.
I like food, my animals (Wisp, Kavik, Orange, Sunkist &Slice), other animals, music, nature, and outdoor type activities. So that's mostly what my posts will consist of.
I also love my hubby (;

You might make some friends with this shit here. Roasted strawberries and coconut flakes make this salad look classy as fuck but it’s still a choice delivery method for all that fiber and antioxidants. Make some room on your plate for this nutritious motherfucker.
We did this with our friends at FoodBeast. Check their shit out. I’ve been reading dessert recipes over there for the last hour, I should probably get back to work.
ROASTED STRAWBERRY SALAD
16 medium strawberries, about 1 pound
1 teaspoon olive oil
a pinch of salt
½ cup coconut flakes (you can use sliced almonds to save some cash)
¼ cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
a big bunch of basil, chopped into thin strips, about 2/3 cup
salt and pepper to taste
1 big head of lettuce (green leaf, spinach, butter, whatthefuckever kind of lettuce is fine)
Warm up your oven to 400 degrees. Cut the green tops off the strawberries and throw that shit out. Slice the berries in half lengthwise. Toss them in a bowl with the teaspoon of olive oil and salt. Mix that shit up good so everything is coated. Put the strawberries cut side down on a cookie sheet. I hate doing dishes so I usually cover the cookie sheet with foil or something because the strawberries can release some juice and it’s annoying as fuck to clean. Roast the strawberries for 10 minutes. Throw the coconut flakes in their own section on the cookie sheet and then roast them at the same time for 3 more minutes or until the coconut looks toasted. Let everything cool the fuck down to about room temperature.
Mix together the lemon juice, vinegar, and oil in a small glass. Toss the lettuce and the basil in a big bowl and add as much of the dressing, salt, and pepper as you like. Make sure everything is coated and then put the strawberries and coconut flakes on top. Arrange that shit so it looks nice. If you don’t feel like fucking with the oven then just leave the strawberries raw. I don’t give a shit JUST EAT A FUCKING SALAD or 10.
Serve 4 people as a side or 1 jolly green giant
A brief recap of today’s run (I need to do this more often):
Kavik is fluffy and so he got too hot to run very far..
A hot dog resulted in us only running a mile (9 mins though, not bad!) and walking home the last mile.
Kav was happy to be home so he could rest on the cool floor with a breeze on him..
Looks like we will have to start waking up earlier to beat the heat. It was only 71F today though so I just hope Kav acclimates quick or I’m not sure what we are going to do come mid summer..
On a side note I really love these shoes..
I’ve put about 20 road miles on them so far and I feel great wearing them, no knee pains, ankle pains, or blisters :)
