What a wonderful weekend so far, we’ve accomplished a lot at home, relaxed, and got in a little shopping. Today I’ve been buzzing around the house, tackling laundry, and getting some play time in the kitchen. As much as I love my smoothies for a fast, well round breakfast on work mornings, I’ve been playing […]
Jicama Smoothie & Coconut Almond Butter
When I first started getting into raw recipes, I gained a passion for jicama for its crisp texture, satisfying crunch, and fresh, versatile flavor that can go either savory or sweet. Jicama sticks are great dipped in hummus, pates, raw sauces, and even chocolate avocado pudding. At only about 45 calories per cup, it’s a […]
Noodle Bowl Throwback
Hubby is home after a loooong week of traveling and both Shadow and I are thrilled! Poor guy came in wiped lugging his suitcase and backpack loaded with laptops, we’re both so ready for a relaxing weekend. A weekend I plan to spend makeup time in the kitchen loading my dehydrator with goodies after a […]
Smooth Sailing
Day 4 of my smoothie experiment and things are going well. I’ve been alternating between the two protein powers currently in my pantry – Manitoba Harvest’s Dark Chocolate Hemp Protein and Olympian Labs Vanilla Pea Protein. The hemp protein only has 9 grams of protein per serving, but also a lot of fiber while the […]
Going Green
Is it just me or is this week dragging? It feels like it should be Thursday, not Wednesday. Between busy days at work, getting sick, and moving a few mountains at home staving off loneliness while hubby is out of town, it’s been a crazy week so far! Even Leela is looking a little worse […]
Tomatoes in a Smoothie?
Thankfully I’m feeling much better. Looks like it was a 24-hour flu bug that’s running through my department at work like a tornado. Three guys have been out sick with it and I didn’t need to take any sick days. :-) I crashed early last night when I was feeling the worst and work up […]
Yuck
Hate to say it, but I’m sick. I was getting minor signs over the weekend with intestinal problems and it really started to kick on while driving home from work today with body aches, chills, then feeling like I’m burning up. And now I barely have enough energy to drag myself to bed. Found out […]
Down Day
I’m thinking more about doing a high smoothie week, kind of my version of a cleanse/detox diet since I’m not sure I could ever try a juice diet. Plus it’ll force me to get creative with new smoothie recipes, give my digestive system a rest, and free up time to work on some house projects […]
Raw Baby Shower
Whew, what a day! It started pretty early with me buzzing around the kitchen preparing dishes to take to a baby shower. One of the dishes is one of my absolute favorite and simple summer fruit salads containing just three ingredients – watermelon chunks, pineapple chunks, and fresh chopped chocolate mint leaves. I got the […]
Smoothie Day
One of my dogs favorite treats is just globs of peanut butter splatted in her bowl. But it always seems like so much work for her to enjoy it with such a clean up process after enjoying. I swear this goes on for 10 minutes or more, it takes me less time to floss popcorn […]
