Of course, Une Vie Saine would be nothing without readers, so I'm asking you: what would you like to see more of in 2011? Baking, recipes, day-to-day activities, workouts, running, life in general? Leave me a comment- I'm all ears!

I spent the afternoon snacking and napping. My head has been killing me for a few hours, so I'm hoping that with some rest I'll be back to normal tomorrow! I had a bowl of Cheerios with warm milk and a cinnamon apple:
As well as some unpictured pistachios, cashews and peanuts.
A bit later, I ruined my appetite for dinner with a few too many of these:
Butter flavored pretzels. At first bite I thought they were disgusting, at second I thought they were interesting, and at third they had won me over. Pretzels that taste like movie theater popcorn? I was almost afraid to look at the ingredient list, but what the heck. They were good.
Since my appetite was pretty light at dinnertime, I roasted up some veg.
Sweet potato rounds, green beans and kale, roasted in EVOO, salt and pepper with a side of yellow mustard for dipping.
Alongside, I had an unpictured piece of dry toast, as well as some grapefruit.
Been craving citrus fruits lately- bring on the C!
For dessert, I had two peanut butter dough balls and a few pictures of peppermint bark.
As much as I love the Christmas treats, I'm glad they're almost gone. It's too easy to OD on sugar every night!
Plans for this evening are still up in the air. Can't decide whether to go out or stay in and rest up for New Year's!!
What would you like to see more of on the blog?

Ooh those pretzels look GOOD!
To be honest, I think you have a great balance of stuff in your posts! Food, workouts, etc you get it all in! Maybe more recipes, if anything? You're such a great cook so I'd love to steal more of your ideas! :P
I agree with Emma. More recipes ;)
I've always loved the amount of photos you put up with every entry! And of course, all the stuff that goes on in NYC. :)
I love your blog and your posts...they are real, honest, pic filled, the lenght is perfect and you have inspired me to try to shorten up my posts and post 2x/day. I thought you were nuts for the longest time, but i agree, i AM actually saving time posting twice. Or at least breaking even and not spending more, i.e. 2 posts, twice the work. So that right there is a huge gift you have given me :)
More pics of you, more pics of your day to day life, friends, etc. I never read blogs for the food. It's ALWAYS for the people :) you do a phenomenal job of this already so you dont even have to change a thing.
I want to see more of your awesome foods (obviously) and your workouts!!! You seem to be really active and I'm curious how you can keep up with all the energy. It would be nice to know some general tips on working out & motivations to keep you going, etc. Thanks!
i'm no help because i love hearing what bloggie friends do everyday haha
ah! i was watching the same canolli maker last night and googled him ASAP trying to figure out how i could get my hands on some of his treats haha
I think you're blog has great healthy balance as it is! I am hooked and excited for a new year of your posts :)
Ohh - those PB dough balls look incredible. Annnnd - I love your bloggie *juuust the way it isssss* (yes, I sung "Just the Way You Are" in my head...)
Life in general or day to day activities! I loveee your blog already, so it is totally your choice :)
I love your blog how it is! I always enjoy reading it
I love reading your blog - I love how you tell about your day but then add a bit more on topics that really get to you. <3 your bloggie and you!
I think some more stuff just about your life would be fun. And baking!
As for those butter twists-they are ADDICTIVE. I won't allow myself to buy them anymore because I eat myself to a stomach ache!
I like it a lot how it is. Just keep truckin'. I like posts that get a discussion going, or to hear your point of view on different things.
The cereal looks fab! I love all the veg too---it looks like a day in my life (including the cookies!).
I just found your blog today---so I think this was a great post to start with!
Happy New Year :)
You've come a long way in a year Gabriela! Congrats!
I agree with Marci; I particularly enjoy posts where you express you opinions. I love reading your thoughts on food, family, and life!
And given your major and the title of you blog, maybe you could teach your readers (ahem me) a few french words or phrases! That would be really fun!
I love your blog and have read for....wow..a long time! But I am a shy commenter (0:
So..HI!
One thing I really adore is that you truly seem to honor your body by giving it what it needs and wants...truly embracing your hunger and what feels right to you...Like the above pretzels...you wanted them and so ya did.
Your food looks incredible always.
As I am in recovery from an eating disorder I just love the example you set in terms of intuitive eating...maybe you can include more of that. Celebrate it a little more...cause you seem to be walking the walk!
Oh, and I love to see your outfits. Jcrew owes you!

I'm all about more recipes. And just you still being you. I read for a reason after all. ;)
i can see how those pretzels would be good - those braids are my favorite shape. i'd love to see more recipes - your food always looks so good and i wanna know how you did it!
I am DYING to see a UVS video post!!!! I want to see your face, live :)
If you've got fashion insight, i would love to hear it and be your biggest fan...since i have none and i'm always jealous of how girls like you, snackface and pj&jenny dress!
Like most others, I say keep on doin' what you're doin' :) Your posts are always simplistic yet entertaining at the same time, which is a balance I'm always trying to find!
I'd be interested in more vegan recipes, for sure. And you know that anything related to NYC is awesome in my book :)
I agree with you on the treats! I've been having a portion every night, but it seems to be stretching them out quite a bit. I'll be happy when they're finally gone and I won't be drawn to them every night after dinner!
I love that your blog is whatever you want it to be on that day. You are open&honest, not to mention you have some super delicious eats! As long as you keep doing your thing (whatever that means), that's all that matters. I love reading your blog!
I've been all about the roasted veggies for dinner lately, too. Total yum! While I haven't been into sweets this holiday season (I just don't crave them anymore&they effect my energy too much), I have definitely overindulged in nuts. I almost can't stand the thought of eating nuts now. Almost. Oh, the horror! ...But maybe just a little more nut butter :D...
Have a lovely day!

Was that a little Spice Girls there? Niiice.
I saw you said EVOO- I got a new Rachael Ray Cookbook when I met her, and on every page it she uses "EVOO" and everytime it spells it out afterward "(extra-virgin olive oil)". Haha what a waste of space to write both the acronym and the words each time!
well your blog is pretty awesome as it is!! I love how your writing style and voice and how you always post loads of pics!.. maybe it would be cool to see more savory recipes? i know that was one of your goals- but i would love it too!
I love your blog! I would love to hear more about your heart and your passions, just to get to know YOU a little better, you know? I love getting to know people through stuff like that! The food is great but that really doesnt make a person who they are! (altho your food is awesome, im not saying you should stop posting it at ALL!) Anyway, I know you are a really awesome girl and id love to know MORE! love you gir!
LOVE your title, Spice Girls rock!
I already love your blog the way it is! But no matter what changes you make, I'll keep on reading! ;)
I'd be into more breakfast recipes! :)
you can do it!!!!! i feel the same way about holiday treats, but i keep making more! what is wrong with me??/
