Nourishing My Tummy and Heart

Happy Friday!!! I hope you all had a great week! On Wednesday I had some blood work done. I wanted to get my vitamin D and some other levels (Crohn's related) checked. I will let you all know the verdict when I find out. They took 6 vials! Eek! Good thing needles don't bother me (I am so sadistic, I watch the whole time! HE HE!). 

Anyway, when I got home, I did my P90x workout, then I chugged this: Broccoli stems, Kale Stems, Green Apple. I had to replenish my blood! LOL!
The other night I made another recipe from GLiving, very similar to the delicious Cauliflower soup I made not that long ago. This was Creamy Broccoli Leek Soup. So good!!!
One night I made an amazing kale salad with quinoa, millet, white beans, sun dried tomatoes and avocado. So yum!
A little love for your weekend: Baby A in her little stylish outfit!! <3
And Ginger sleeping on the couch! <3
Have a great weekend everyone!

I had some tests done late last week too and a green smoothie was the first thing I ate when I came home - I swear it does replenish the blood! I hope all your tests come back with healthy numbers!

How you get anything at all done during the day is beyond me. With these two love bugs, I'd be thoroughly distracted. Smother 'em both in kisses from me, please.

Oh my gosh - your little girl is SO adorable!! Those little booties, too cute!

About the needles, I'm the same way - watch the whole time. ha, they always tell me to look a way, but I just can't... I guess it's one of those things where I'm able to put mind over matter - thank goodness!
