Friday Finisher 8/14/15

Published: Aug 14, 2015 · Modified: Jan 2, 2020 by Rebecca Pytell · This post may contain affiliate links.

I've been noticing this theme among bloggers these last few months. Everyone seems to be questioning their purpose and the "why" of blogging as a whole. The amount of time it takes, the struggles, difficulties, lack of respect, the "burdens" of blogging. Should we continue, should we post less, post more, "why" are we still doing this!? I'm pretty sure these feelings come up every summer, with that whole "summer slump" situation. I think everyone's just getting antsy to get pack to that established, more certain routine that gets pushed aside during the summer. I'm feeling that antsy feeling too. To get back to a more purposeful routine. You know, dare I say, school? I need to learn something, feel accountable to something other than my work and blog. No, I don't want summer to end, but it will in just a few short weeks. I also know that after classes start, that feeling of routine will set in and the newness will wear off again...and I'll crave summer freedom, haha!

The seasons of the year and the seasons of life. Always interesting to contemplate the emotions that accompany them! Everything ebbs and flows; that's life and we should all just do our best to stick to it, one step at a time. Don't quit, don't give up, just take a breath (or two) and lean into the moments of the seasons. Where ever you are, what ever you're feeling, know that you're doing it right. You're okay. Just breath and remember to live. That's all you have to do.

There's my Friday motivation to you (and myself). I'm leaving you with wishes for a beautiful weekend and a strong heart. Now happy Friday and happy Friday Finisher reading! xoxo

(Follow me on Pinterest – RebeccaGF666)

Sweet Corn Gazpacho. Summer corn is my favorite summer veggie (zucchini is year-round for me so I'm not counting that!)

Pulled Jackfruit Sandwiches with Red Cabbage Slaw. Mouth-watering plant-based goodness!

Vegan Steamed Purple Potato & Chia Buns. My lovely potato, the STOKES!

Purple Cabbage Tacos with Tangy Chipotle Aioli. Now that's an inventive taco 😉

Sriracha Honey Salmon Vegetable Packets. You can't get more perfect than a dinner like that!

Za'atar Baked Salmon. Salmon simplicity at it's best!

Cheeseless Pesto Pan de Yuca. These buns! Yummy puffs of goodness!

Easy Peasy Pumpkin Spice Bread Pudding. Let's just end this Friday with the phrase...BRING ON THE PUMPKIN!

A few things I loved about my week or am grateful for:

+ Finding out about this amazing site! I don't have to waste money on a Kindle right now after all! I just opened a free account with OverDrive which allows you to get audiobook or ebook format of books from you're library just like a Kindle would have! So I have been listening to books right on my laptop now while I work (instead of podcasts...which I still love!), but it's great! It's all free, you just need to check if you're library is set up with them and bam! You can "check out" books whenever and read/listen to them on any device you have! Right now I'm listening to Sarah's Key (WWII, depressing, Holocaust, but really good).

So tell me:

+ Have you had a summer-life-crisis like so many seem to be having?

+ Have you heard of OverDrive? Start an account it if not!!!

    "I think everyone’s just getting antsy to get pack to that established, more certain routine that gets pushed aside during the summer."
    Huh. I actually haven't noticed anyone talking about wanting to give up blogging, but I definitely notice the antsy feeling. Summer is the magical time where routine goes out the window and spur of the moment fun happens constantly. It's great! But it definitely gets in the way of getting normal things done.
    I love summer and I can't believe it's almost over... but I am so ready for the regular routine of fall to settle in =) I bet you're excited to get back to school!

    Ohh I've been spending so much time working on the blog lately. It's been way to hot to do anything for the university anyways and I've been enjoying my vacations from work by doing nothing 😀 I loved the secrets from cooking shows. It wasn't constantly on my mind that there is such an enormous amount of food waste! That's just one of these things I can't stand at all. Also I love to walk too. I just gives me this feeling of freedom and it's passive enough to think about anything and everything. 🙂

    So I read the first part of this, and was like, "yes!" I so relate to that - my last post was basically just kind of pondering this whole blogging thing. I'm definitely still invested in blogging, just a bit stuck on the direction I want to continue with. Then I kept reading and getting really into seeing all the linked content because there are so many really interesting ones to look then and then I saw my picture and thought "yes!" one more time. Thanks for including me - I love reading you FF posts, so I feel honored 🙂

Its so fun but sometimes to be honest I hate being so connected to the computer when their is so much outside in the world to do!

The perfect side to soak up all that chana masala goodness I shared with y'all last week! This super duper easy gluten-free naan is just 4 ingredients! You favorite gluten-free flour @kingarthurbaking, yeast, salt, and a pinch of sweetener @swervesweetie. Cook them on a hot flat skillet or griddle! They are so easy to customize with herbs and spices, vegan cheese, lots of garlic; however you want to jazz it up! 🥳🍞✌️

You can never go wrong with a quick and easy curry and this one is a classic! Just canned chickpeas, @muirglen tomatoes, onion, garlic, tons of aromatic and fragrant Indian spices @simplyorganicfoods, and my secret ingredient...a handful (or two) of spinach! Made in one pot or skillet (I use my @lodgecastiron ) and top it with some fresh cilantro and a splash of lemon juice if you so desire! 🥰

Add in any other fun flavors like spices and extracts or keep it simple! You can even make it chewier with my tips and tricks! 😍

Fun Fact: This is a riff on my famous sesame crunch candy! Since sesame is now a top allergen, I decided to make a free-from version for you! (I actually made this recipe last Christmas season but ran out of time to post it!) 🤩🎄🎁🙌🎅
