- 1 egg white, beaten
- 1/4 cup whole flaxseed

- Combine peas, arugula, broth, lemon juice, parmesan, and olive oil in a blender. Puree until smooth, and then add pepper to taste. Transfer to saucepan and warm throughly over a medium-low heat
- Put egg white and flaxseed in 2 different small bowls. Dip tuna filets in the egg whites and then flaxseed.

Cheers!

New Year, New Things

It's 11 days into 2013 and it finally hit me what this year is about to bring me- which is a whole lot more than all the past years. In 2013, I will become a college graduate, move to the other side of the country (alone) , and enter into the working world. Sounds pretty scary!

However, this year has also been life changing so far as it is. First starters, I have fallen in love. Not just a silly crush that will fizzle as soon as the "honeymoon stage" is over, but true passionate love for the type of man every woman should experience dating (but please, find your own, not mine!) I've also learned the true meaning of what is important/not important in life after seeing a close family friend get diagnosed with cancer. Spending time with him, even if it's just watching the UofA football and basketball games, teaches me to truly appreciate my time here and the fact that I DID make it another year.

It wasn't until I read an article from one of my favorite websites "Thought Catalog" that I came to the realization that this year is a crossroads for a lot of people out there as well. It is comforting to know that I am not alone in trying to piece my life together one day and one decision at a time (like if moving to the East coast IS the best thing for me). I guess misery truly does love company! With that said, instead of trying to find all the answers right away, I decided I will simply set goals and ideas for this year, and parallel my decisions to meet and make these.

I'm looking forward to the next 11 days of 2013, and then a few more after that. I may not know what exactly they will bring, but I do know that I've come so far as it is and have done just fine!
