Good Food and a Good Friend!

Hey all! I hope you are having a great week! I know I am! :)

This was a juice I had earlier in the week: broccoli stems, romaine, apple, lemon. Before I took the picture I had to find my camera, hence the separation issue with the juice.
A few hours after the juice, I was feeling a little queasy. So I made some sprouted grain toast with avocado on top. I added lemon juice, Himalayan sea salt, ground pepper and cumin on top! Mmmm!
Like I mentioned in my last post, Maria came over to visit me!!! She is such a doll and Ginger and I both loved her! In fact, Ginger probably would of went home to live with her and Shorter! Ha ha! :) She was even lucky enough to meet T! HA HA! He also said she was so sweet and really nice.

We went and got salads for lunch and then walked over to my favorite new age/spiritual store. We both bought a few things, including some energy stones and and energy bracelet. She got one for "Pain" and I got one for "Health and Wellness." The stone on mine is quartz which is suppose to help with good health. I haven't taken it off since (they say not too). To add to my never ending collection of energy stones, I bought these 4, which are all for one thing.. ;) I keep them in a sachet in my purse and I take them out daily and hold them to receive the vibes I need.

For dinner last night I made some brown rice and added in black beans and kale. I topped it off with avocado and a little Bragg's. So comforting!
Have a nice day everyone!!!!

That bracelet is very cool!
What type of gluten free bread do you use? I'm on the search of finding one that I don't have to bake myself.
Our avocados aren't very good right now, not the season so they are watery and stringy. Blah!

queasy? is that GOOD NEWS? ;-) or just post-green juice queasiness?

i love my crystals and i have quartz right in front of me. if i have a really painful area i will hold it there. i also put rose quartz near zuki's heart if it's racing. he helps calm him down.

so jealous you got to meet maria! and she you!

Yummy avos! I've been eating them like crazy these days. Okay, I'm getting there. :) Love that you have your juice in a wine glass. We do that sometimes with ours. Makes it more fun and fancy. Tastes better too I think!

How does quartz help promote good health?

Earth Mother said...

Helloooooo? Queasy?

Saw a tweet earlier about wanting to "lie down and sleep for 100 days."

Ummm, something you wanna tell me, little Mama? I know you and Mr. T have been, ahem, practicing.

'Tis the season of rebirth, after all. ツ

xoxo!

I've been craving fresh juice lately, that recipe sounds soo good. I had brown rice with black beans today, too! I wrapped mine up in collard greens like a burrito with avocado, marinated raw veggies and pico de gallo. Mmmmmmmmm...:)
