Sleep

Mostly Not Potato Salad


1 pound red-skinned potatoes, peel on, cut into 1/2" pieces
4 oz green beans, trimmed and cut into 1" pieces
2 TBSP whole grain mustard
2 TBSP red wine vinegar
3 TBSP extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp natural cane sugar
Sea Salt
1 leek, white and green parts trimmed and chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped dill
6 small stalks celery, trimmed and diced
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced
6 oz extra-firm tofu, diced
1 TBSP minced chives

Cook the potatoes in a pot of boiling water for 9-10 minutes.  For the last 30 seconds, add the green beans. Whisk the mustard, vinegar, 2 TBSP oil, sugar, and salt to taste in a bowl.  Add remaining oil to a large skillet and heat on med-high heat.  Add the leeks and dill and saute until golden, about 5 minutes.  Gently toss the potatoes, green beans, celery, cucumber, tofu, chives and half the leeks with the dressing in a bowl.  Top with remaining leeks and serve at room temperature, or chilled.  Great with spring grilling!

Do you allow yourself to receive enough sleep each night?  Research shows that people who do not receive enough sleep do not perform as well at normal activities of daily living than people who receive 7-9 hours per night.  Job performance, interpersonal relationships, and regular sleep cycles are all enhanced with adequate sleep.  Do yourself a favor and ensure enough sleep!  Regular exercise patterns and a healthy diet will help aid in a good sleep pattern as well.

Exhaustion makes cowards of us all.
                          -Vince Lombardi

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
