This hit the spot. It was perfect for this snowy day. We are going to use the leftover taco meat for tacos tomorrow.
Now I’m all curled up with Kyle and Moses about to watch a movie. Great ending to a snowy day!

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...

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...

Chicken Pesto Night

Today I was able to make breakfast at home due to the 2 hour delay in getting in to work. The roads this morning were a little slick. So, I made a bowl of oatmeal! The mix: Bob’s Red Mill Oats Chia seeds cooked in Cinnamon Brown Sugar Roasted almonds and walnuts I enjoyed a cup of coffee while eating my yummy bowl of oats. Last night I pulled out an old quinoa recipe to fix for lunch today. I’ve made this recipe before but I didn’t like it as much as the quinoa salad I made last week.
