I'm a total gym rat - going to the gym to get my daily dose of cardio is practically an addiction. But lately I've also been really getting into Bikram yoga, which is 90 minutes of yoga practiced in a 105-degree F room. Sounds fun right? (Actually the heat is awesome in the winter time...not so much during the sweltering Baltimore summers, though) Anywho, it's rather a nice break from the intense cardio workouts I'm used to at the gym, and my mind and body both feel awesome after the hot yoga sessions.
The session I went to this morning felt especially good, and it sort of set me on a health kick for the rest of the day. After the class, I had a tasty Moroccan-inspired spaghetti squash and chickpea salad and a baked sweet potato for lunch. At the grocery in the afternoon, I was totally geeking out in the produce and natural foods section. So when dinner time rolled around, I wanted to make a healthy complement to my mom's Burmese coconut curry noodle soup (sounds good, right?), and I was inspired to make some baked vegetarian samosas after seeing this recipe for chile pea puffs.
