There is a new vinegar is town..

Hey Everyone! I hope you are having a great week! This week is week 3 of P90x! So far, I feel good and I feel tighter in spots. From what I read, around day 30 is when results will become more obvious. So we will see! ;)


Anyway, T bought me the coolest thing ever.. some organic seeds to go with..
A seed sprouter!!!! Super cool, right? (NERD ALERT)!!! Here are my little seeds, I started it on Monday night. I should have sprouts in a few days!!! I'm way too excited!
One night for dinner I made myself a big kale salad with radishes (forgot how much I love them!), sprouts and raw sprouted sunflower seeds. Yum! Kale salads are my favorite thing ever!
This was a delicious lunch I made one day: romaine, olives, radishes, sprouts, and a Breakfast Sunshine Burger. I forgot how much I like the breakfast patties. My favorite is Garden Herb and Original, but I like to switch it up!
I've been topping my salads with Raw Coconut Vinegar instead of Apple Cider Vinegar. This stuff is seriously delicious! I bought it at Whole Foods, but you can buy it online too. Not as acidic and pungent as Apple Cider Vinegar, more sweet and tolerable. Mmm, I love it!
Speaking of Whole Foods, we had lunch there after grocery shopping over the weekend. I made myself a kale salad with raw mushrooms, olives, carrots, cauliflower and black beans.
Also going back to the weekend, we ordered Sushi for dinner one night. I had all brown rice rolls: shitake mushroom with avocado, cucumber avocado and avocado rolls. Hmm, I sense a theme? ;)
A yummy Chipotle style bowl I made on Sunday night: romaine, pinto beans, avocado and black rice. Have you had black rice? It's super high in antioxidants and it's so tasty! I find it to be creamier then brown rice.. if that makes sense.
This was a yummy juice T picked me up one day: carrot, apple, spinach. Simple and delicious!
And finally, a chickpea salad that T also picked me up at the juice bar. I added raw kraut to  it. Yum!
Have a great day all!

in the asian section of whole foods they have GINGER vinegar! I haven't tried it (it's like $10) but it sounds heavenly. I've seen that coconut vinegar, and it makes me even sadder about my coconut allergy. Why, God, why?

I spotted that coconut vinegar recently and wondered about it. Happy to have an endorsement for it, will try it!

cool about the vinegar - I'll have to check it out. We love coconut secret anyway so it's gotta be good, right? :)

And I love black rice! But haven't bought any for home. WF makes a black rice dish we get from time to time that's yummy.

Have fun with the sprouter (nerd!) - ha ha! It's totally something we'd buy.

there IS a new vinegar in town ;) We love it too. The aminos and nectar are super too. Your sprouter is very cute. I've been collecting supplies to sprout...one of these days ;) I haven't had radish sprouts, do you think they'll be 'spicy' like a radish?
I haven't had black rice yet, good to know what it's like.

I haven't seen that coconut vinegar. I'll have to keep my eyes open for that....sounds yummy!

I'm about to try my hand at sprouting also. I'm pretty excited about it. :o)

I have been wanting to try that vinegar. I love all their other products, so why not.

I love the idea of shiitakes in nori rolls. I need to try that.
