What's in the Fridge?

I’m sitting here watching Winter Wipe Out and cracking up. These people are crazy! LOL
Today seemed to really fly by. Where did the day go? Today started out with another bowl of Kashi cereal and a cup of coffee. I’m really liking this cereal but it looks a lot like Moses’s dog food. That doesn’t stop me from eating this delicious cinnamon goodness.

Snack today consisted of another grapefruit! Still, so so good!


I didn’t bring anything for lunch today so I decided to go out for lunch for a little change. I love going down to The Old Mill Bread Co. for a cup of soup and sandwich, so I did.
I chose the sunflower veggies sandwich and a cup of corn con queso. The veggie sandwich had cream cheese, fresh garden greens, tomato, red onion, sprouts, black olives, provolone cheese, and a light ranch dressing on sesame sunflower bread. It was scrumptious!



Dinner was another “what’s in the fridge” dinner. I thawed out a filet of Tilapia, steamed some broccoli and made some brown rice. The tilapia was cooked with Dijon mustard and Italian bread crumbs. The brown rice was cooked in organic vegetable broth instead of water for some flavor.
It was just and okay dinner. It wasn’t as good as Chicken Pesto night!



Stay tuned this weekend on how to grow your own fresh alfalfa sprouts!

Day 1–Have a Headache Already

Happy New Year to everyone! Day 1 of the detox started today. It’s been pretty tough,I’m not gonna lie. I went to Whole Foods and Walmart yesterday to get all the fruits and vegetables I needed for the week. I’ve had a headache all day due to the lack of caffeine. I really don’t drink but maybe a cup and a half of coffee and a glass of tea a day. But I sure did miss it today. This morning I got up to help in the nursery at church. I made the Antioxidant smoothie. You can find the recipe here . It was really good, a little tart but not bad. When I got to the church I got a cup of unsweetened green tea (no caffeine) so I could convince myself it was a cup of coffee. The tea and smoothie held me over till about 11:30. I made a nice little salad for lunch with water with of couple apples thrown in. My salad had spinach, avocado, cucumbers, carrots, cherry tomatoes, and pumpkin seeds dressed with balsamic vinaigrette I did get pretty hungry this afternoon so I made the roasted chi

Vanilla Bean Almond Butter

I don’t know about you but I LOVE nut butters. I have never made my own because I didn’t realize out easy it was. I’m telling ya, everyone can make nut butter as long as you have a decent food processor and there's not turning back. I’ve had some left over vanilla beans from the vanilla I made a while back and wanted to use them, so I decided to use them in the almond butter. I made this about a week ago and it’s already half gone! It’s like a yummy creamy dessert. Once you try fresh pure nut butters you will never go back to store bought. Only 3 ingredients and no added oils! So here it goes: Start out by toasting your almonds until they start to smell yummy. Pour your almonds in the food processer and start to process. You will need to process for 8 to 10 minutes and stop several times to scrape down the sides, so be patient. Stage 1 Stage 2- Powder Stage 3-The natural oil starts to come out and its starts to ball up. Stage 4-Almost there, just a f

Year 2 of Detox

Well it’s that time of year again. Last year I decided to do a month long detox starting January 1st. I felt great afterwards and after how I’ve been eating recently I’ve decided to make it a tradition to do it every year. I feel it just puts me on the right track to start out the year. I know when some of you hear the word “detox” you think water and pepper for 5 days straight (or something crazy like that). This is nothing like that. I actually follow a plan that I think is very healthy. Every year Whole Living puts out a new plan. It has changed a little since last year. I think it’s a little easier to follow this year. They provide all the recipes and instructions you need to follow the plan. Check out week 1 of the plan here . Week 1 I will be eating fruits, vegetables, and plant-based fats, including nuts, seeds, and oils. Week 2 I will be adding back in seafood, beans and lentils, and organic soy. And week 3 I will be adding back in gluten-free grains and eggs. I will be chang
