an attempt to get inspired [giveaway winner]
Hello my lovebugs!
♥ ♥ ♥
This is going to be short and sweet!!
I have been major slacking on everything lately, I am not going to lie or make excuses.
I don’t know what is going on with me, but I am so uninspired in almost all aspects of life right now. I think the holiday’s really just took it out of me.
I had two weeks off from school, but really feel like I have had no time off.
♥ ♥ ♥
But let’s get down to business and then see if I can come up with something halfway interesting for you!
I first want to announce the winner of the Arctic Zero giveaway!
Winner was chosen by Random.org
♥ ♥ ♥
The winner is #37 – Renata!
Congrats girl!! Send me an e-mail at debbie(at)accidentlydelish(dot)com with your shipping information and I will get it over the Arctic Zero folks for you!!

On to other maybe more fun business.
Since I have been super uninspired I thought maybe I should post some inspiring meals and dishes I wish I have made lately, but haven’t.
Because for some reason I have spent countless hours on Pinterest. I know, total productive way to spend my time.
Here’s what I wish I was making.
♥ ♥ ♥
Breakfast
I have been dying to make crepes, these look so tasty.
♥ ♥ ♥
I have always wanted to toy around with making quinoa in the morning and this recipe looks amazing.
♥ ♥ ♥
Dinner
I love pasta, but never seem to make it. This just looks divine.
♥ ♥ ♥
This has been on my to make list for a long time. I even bought a spaghetti squash just for it, but used it some other way. Why am I so lazy?
♥ ♥ ♥
Desserts
Ok these are just too cute to not want to make.
♥ ♥ ♥
We’ll pretend I would use it for it’s protein purpose, but really I just think it sounds delicious.
♥ ♥ ♥
Dark Chocolate Zucchini Brownies
-sigh- I love brownies. I guess I could try and make them healthy.
♥ ♥ ♥
Well loves, I know not the most exciting, but maybe that will inspire me to get cooking. Maybe not.
Maybe it will at least inspire you.
And if it does, come over and cook for me.
Thanks.
♥ ♥ ♥
I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend!

What do you do when you feel uninspired.
You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.
Thanks so much for the shout-out!
This crepe was deeeelicious (seeing you post this is making us think we need to re-make it asap!)
no problem!! i hope i am motivated enough one morning to make it!!
Spaghetti squash pad thai is genius! I really want a chocolate taco now too, I may have to settle for regular tacos for dinner tonight. sigh…
regular tacos are good too!!
sometimes i take a sabbatical from life for that very reason. Ease om back into inspiration. LOL!
if i could just take a month or so off to re-focus and re-group that would be wonderful. but sometimes life just doesn’t let you do that. i am hoping to come to a point where things will just “click” (i totally stole your “click” reference haha) i am so glad YOU found that, now I need to. maybe you’ll be my inspiration to figure things out. haha. love ya girl <3
I think you’re still stuck in the “I don’t feel too bad, and can manage a life like this” zone. I can tell from your pics that you’re still stick-thin (sorry, no other way to describe it! I was like that before recovery and for maybe a month during recovery). And I think that while you allow yourself to eat certain foods, you’re obviously sticking to the same “tried and true” recipes or meals (sushi) that you probably can feel okay about and not guilty for eating, right? You’re also exercising (big no-no for me while I was trying to gain weight), so I don’t know…. from an outside perspective, it just seems like you’re doing everything you can to just stay where you are but not lose or gain any weight. It feels safe this way.
I don’t know what your relationship is like, but for me, it REALLY helped to have my family kick my butt into gear because there was no way I was getting out of that mental fog and those routines myself. My family was constantly (and annoyingly) getting me to eat with them, not prepare all my meals with the same ingredients, getting me to do stuff with them instead of being left alone to go to the gym or do god knows what…. it was like an intervention and they were also my support team. I knew I needed to gain weight to lead a normal life, so gaining weight was my promise to them and to myself. And they helped me realize when I was breaking that promise. Simple as that.
Weight gain isn’t fun — I’m fine but I still I have bad body image days, but seriously, the quicker you gain weight, the easier it is to function normally. Sorry for this beast of a comment, but I just feel the need to intervene every few months when I see there’s no progress and wish I could help ya out somehow!!!
i always read your comments and think “she’s right” so no worries on you being harsh, you’re not telling me anything i don’t already know. it’s a mental thing.
come over and kick me in the butt ok? I think I need it.
[...] is going to be another short and sweet post because as I said in my last post, I have been so unmotivated lately and nothing all that interesting has been going on in the world [...]
Um. I want some spaghetti squash Pad Thai. That’s what I’m making you for dinner when we all get together in our imaginary kitchen.
I had two weeks off, too, and I am just SO not ready to get back to it. I wish I had a solution. I’ll tell you what though, all of these images just make me even more UNinspired to get into the kitchen for some reason. Maybe it’s because inspiration comes to me when I’m not feeling overwhelmed. And hell’s bells, I’m feeling overwhelmed a bit right now!
I agree that inspiration comes at the weirdest moments, and yes I am overwhelmed too, so I look at all those recipes and just think “well those looks nice, maybe soon” it won’t happen. haha. will life ever slow down? probably not.
thanks for including me in your round-up! you are so sweet. all those recipes look delish! i want those carrot cake crepes!
No problem! All your recipes looked great, come make them for me
