Cave Food . . .

This is the busiest I've ever been; maybe ever.  All exciting, fantastic, good stuff; yet busy just the same.  It's pretty easy for me to have laser focus. To keep my eye on my prize. My Mom says I've naturally been this way ever since the day I came out of her womb; and my Dad encouraged this behavior my entire childhood. He would often whisper in my ear, "...while others are out partying and getting into trouble, Stacefly, you could be steadily studying your craft, and taking your skill set to the next level...".

I do enjoy working hard at what I love. There is no greater thrill than hitting the "zone".  Most days I can write from 8am - 10pm, sitting in one spot, and have no idea where the time went. None. Sometimes I am even bummed that I have to go bed.  

So when a girl's in self-induced "cave", she needs power cave food. 

Like broccoli. My most faaaaaaavorite vegetable of all.

This was lunch:  a bowl of broccoli, shrimp, white onion, and green bell peppers, with salt & pepper. All steamed together in one pot. So fresh and delish.

A girl in a cave also needs her husband to make her power meals from time to time when she's eating too much popcorn and too many brown rice cakes with peanut butter instead of "real" food. (read yesterday's post about that little problem).

Hubby is a pro in the kitchen.  For dinner he made us salmon croquettes. 

And he baked them, instead of pan frying. 

He also made us oven grilled asparagus. Aww yeah! Aww yeah!  I love asparagus.

Power to the power foods.
