Remember double features at the movie theater?
You could pay for one ticket and see 2 movies.  Some of you just snuck in, I know. 😉
I haven’t seen them do that in so long! Â We should start a petition to bring it back in time for Oscar season next year. Â This year I spent too much money going to see the nominees. Â And I did NOT like Shame.
While this post has nothing to do with movies, it does contain some features!
First up, I was THRILLED (and shocked) when Fitness Magazine reached out to me and asked if I’d be willing to do an interview and submit a recipe for a spot in their “Fit Blogger We Love” series.
Click here for the full interview and to find out what my fitness mantra is.
Feature #2 is a guest post.  I’m guesting Kimberly @ Badger Girl Learns to Cook (not to be confused with Honey Badger).
Click here to check out my reasons for seasonal eating, and for one of my favorite spring recipes: Meyer Lemon Ricotta Penne with Asparagus.
Note to my plant-based peeps: You can use the “cheese” from the recipe in the Fitness Mag feature to make the penne dish vegan.
Annnnd a Bonus Feature:
My Raspberry Baked Oatmeal To-Go made the Food Buzz Top 9 today!
Thank you SO MUCH for the Buzz, and welcome new readers!
***
My mantra right now is “one more day until Friday!”
What was your favorite Oscar-nominated move this year?
Do you have a fitness mantra? Â What is it?
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says
You are all over the place today lady – in a good way! Congrats on all the great exposure, you deserve it!
Laura says
As opposed to the crazy way that I’m usually scattered about. 🙂
Rachel @ My Naturally Frugal Family says
Thank you for the 2 for 1 feature today!
Congrats on the magazine interview. Way to get your name out there and have more readers 🙂
I read Badger Girl regularly so I was pleasantly surprised this morning when I opened her post and there was your delicious recipe (probably another Top 9 coming your way).
I am WAY behind times and didn’t see any of the Oscar movies (I am pretty sure a silent movie is not for me) I have a hard time sitting still that long and just don’t have the attention span for most movies, OH WELL!
Have a great day!
Laura says
Thank YOU!
I really wanted to see The Artist! Or course, it was one of the only ones I missed.
Lauren @ Lawfully Wedded Wife says
So awesome! CONGRATS on everything! 🙂
Aylin @ Glow Kitchen says
My fitness mantra is “sunday off day, sunday off day”…so i know im getting closer to the break, i power thruogh the workout.
Laura says
Haha – I borrowed that one from you this morning. 🙂
Carol @ Lucky Zucca says

Ok, that new work rocks. you’re pretty “blawgsome” too. And yes, let’s do meet up!!!
Alayna @ Thyme Bombe says
So awesome! That penne recipe sounds so refreshing in this hot weather too.
Allie says
So much fun! Congrats on it all. And for featuring asparagus in a recipe. I looooove asparagus in spring.

Laura says
Thnks! Let me know what you think if you do! 🙂
Candy @ Healthy In Candy Land says
Congrats, congrats, congrats! Holy wow, that is awesome!
I smiled to miyself when I read your interview because just this morning as I was walking to the gym I said to myself, “Every damn day.” and then I thought of you and your shirt!
Laura says
Thanks Candy!
Funny side note: there’s a homeless guys in Atlanta that has the men’s version of that shirt. It kind of make me want to give him money every damn day…
Lee says
Very cool!
Parita @ myinnershakti says
Congrats on the feature! That’s so exciting! I also just figured out that I have all the ingredients to make your vegan stuffed tomatoes – VERY exciting!! 🙂 Making them this weekend!
Laura says
Woo hoo! Let me know how you like them!!!
Lindsay @ The Lean Green Bean says
you’re a rockstar!! xoxo
Baker Street says
Congratulations on top 9! Truly deserving. 🙂
Khushboo says
Hell yeah to your fitness mantra- totally agree! Congrats on all your features! My fitness mantra is definitely “You’re only one workout from a good mood”….low intensity or high, any kind of movement is a surefire way to get those endorphins going!
Laura says
That is SO true. you never regret a workout. 🙂
Lauren @ Oatmeal after Spinning says
Yay- congrats on all that good stuff!! So glad that more people will find out about your fabulous blog!
Once again, I haven’t seen a single movie that was nominated. I never, ever go to the movies. Okay, that’s not true, I go like 3-4 times a year, but it’s usually just whenever Paul Rudd is in a new movie. 🙂
I would like to see the Descendants though!
My mantra: One more week til spring break!!
Laura says
Thanks Lauren! I don’t know what got into me this year. I’m not a movie person but I suddenly wanted to see like 3 or 4 of the nominated movies. I was, of course, disappointed.
Anonymous says
Congrats on the interview Laura…that is awesome!
My fitness mantra? Lift as many bottles/glasses of wines as humanly possible in one day. 🙂
