Words, Thoughts, Life

Its been soooooo freaking long since I last posted.  Looking back at what I have "journaled" in the past has been interesting to say the least.  I think when I started this blog I was starting on a path of self fulfillment, self-love, finding myself, and growing up.  I certainy have been through so many experiences in the past few years which has gotten me further on my path.  In fact, I feel like I am in a great place right now.  But I am in no means at the penultimate point of "figuring things out."  I certainly shall pine my ego right now.  But, I am happy.  I have found more of myself, that which I lost along the way.  I have also landed myself in an awesome situation.  I love my job, I love where I live, and I love the relationship I am in.  I have found some serenity and balance, but that is still where I have much room for improvement.  Balance....  Not overdoing, not underdoing.  Really just being and going with the flow.  The WAVE!!!!!
And one more thing, the power of these thoughts that I put into words are so significant, so strong, so influential.  It is so important to think good things, hope and dream for good things, and to keep the mind and body in tune.

Yum!

There have been some good, healthy, unique, tastey eats over the past few days.  Thought I would share!  Sorry for my lack of pictures of the concoctions I made, it sure would make this post look amazing.  However, I added some product pictures used in the concoctions that I highly reccommend!

Breakfast:
Green Monster bowls with oats!!!  Hello! These are amazing.  In the green soupy mix...frozen banana, spinach, avacodo or pumpkin, nut butter, coconut butter, oikos nonfat greek yogurt plain, almond milk, sprinkle of spice, ice.  Top with my favorite granola...Galaxy granola!

Lunch: Omelets with sauteed onion, pepper, apples (yes I said apples, thinly smally sliced), arugula, tomato, organic cheese...yum!
Snack: Can't beat a fruit roll-up with strawberries, justins chocolate almond butter and whole wheat wrap. Reminded me of a donut!

Another Snack:  Rice chex mix, mixed nuts, and garbanzo beans, baked with olive oil, worshashire sauce, organic sugar, salt, garlic, and onion powder.   Bake at 350*F for 30ish minutes and you've got a party!!!!

Dinner:  One of my new favorites!!!!  Sauteed onion, mushroom, arugula, and tempeh and roasted butternut squash atop fresh greens with raspberry dressing.  Hell ya!

Dessert:  Heelllooo awesome, healthy brownies!  Thank you rapunzel organic sugar.  It went something like this...One cup sugar, one cup spelt, 1/2 cup cocoa, pinch of salt.  1/4 cup coconut oil, 1/4 cup pumpkin, pinch of vanilla, 2 eggs.  Bake at 375 for 22 min.  Amazing...and the sugar is amazing its unrefined and contains a heafty amount of iron.  Hey women...you think that maybe we crave sweets, especially around that special time, because our body craves iron? It make sense that natural sugar is full of iron and thus, we inately crave it cause we really do need it (the iron that is).  Sucks that most things with sugar these days have the refined sugar with absolutely no nutritive value, only an addictive substance that unfullfills our needs.  Maybe if we stick to the real stuff, we get our iron and sweet fix, and we get satisfied off of a nicely sized square rather than the entire square pan.  Just a thought.  

EAT REAL FOOD....the refined stuff really messes us up!

Another great dessert:  REAL wine....if you can get your hands on this, I highly reccommed it!  Maynard you are beyond genious!

Enjoy!
