Eating Good

Hello Pea Sprouts! I hope you are all having a fabulous week. Once again, we had a snow storm this week. Not as bad as the one a few weeks ago, but we definitely got a nice coating. I don't mind the snow now that I don't leave the house much! Plus, T usually gets off of work, so the extra help is always welcomed. I even got to clean up my house! I am such a neat freak, not having control over the mess has been eating me alive!!! I am always looking to improve our home, next stop modern dining room furniture!

One more pic from the Christening last Sunday! Me and my love..

I must say, I am really looking forward to the Spring so we can bring Baby A for walks and play outside with her and Ginger!


This morning I made myself a delicious green smoothie (as soon as Baby A fell asleep I ran into the kitchen to whip it up!). This was spinach, almond milk, almond butter, maca powder, spirulina, cinnamon and chocolate Sunwarrior protein. DE-LISH!
I had a mean craving for a Chipotle rice and bean bowl, I ate them a lot while pregnant, lol! Last night I decided to make my own! I made brown rice with cumin and Mexican seasoning and cooked up some Eden black beans with the same flavors then I mixed them together and topped it off with some fresh guacamole. Craving gone!
I've been making the same salad for lunch everyday: romaine, Bubbies, artichoke hearts, olives and a crumbled Sunshine Burger. I dress it with olive oil, apple cider vinegar, curry powder and nutritional yeast. Curry powder is so amazing on salad, Thanks Kristen's Raw for the great idea!
This is by FAR my favorite coconut water (aside from fresh). I've blogged about it in the past. This time I got one with aloe added to it. I was a little nervous since aloe can taste like dirty socks, but you couldn't even taste it. I am guessing the coconut water flavor soaked into the aloe chunks.
And again, my new favorite lunch salad. This time I added raw kraut as well. Mmm, looking forward to having this again in a little! ;) And yes, that is my nail file and it has bite marks on it, thank you, Ginger! LOL!
Have a great day all!

Ooh, curry powder on a salad sounds like a great idea! With the chilly weather, I need all the inspiration I can get to make my salads appealing! ;)
