June 5, 2013

What I Ate Wednesday is a weekly peek into what I’m eating throughout the day. These are the meals and snacks that I had on Tuesday. Follow along and comment below with what you ate!

Started with my morning cup of coffee with a little stevia and french vanilla.

Breakfast Smoothie: apple, celery, cilantro, chia seeds, dandelion greens, kale, 1/2 lemon, water and ice.

2 cups of green tea

Bacon and Spinach Souffle from Panera.

I had a late lunch it was leftover from the night before. Salmon with Black Bean Sauce with brown rice. It was fabulous!

In the afternoon I had a Orange, Pineapple, Banana, and Spinach Smoothie.

For dinner I had a brown rice with an egg scrambled in it. I also had a side of roasted carrots and onions.

I know most of the time I do not have alot of time to spend making lunch. I want it to be healthy and also flavorful and delicious. Salads are good but I don’t want that to be my lunch everyday. So a couple of times a month I will be posting quick healthy lunch ideas.

I’ll start with this one.

Brown Rice Pasta with Roasted Portabella Mushrooms

The night before I had the pasta covered in an organic pasta sauce. I had plenty leftover the next day so I thought I would jazz it up a little by roasting some baby bellas in olive oil, salt and pepper. Cooked in a cast iron skillet in the oven for 15 minutes at 425 degrees. I topped my pasta with the mushrooms and it changed up the flavor and added alot of depth to the dish. I absolutely love the way roasted mushrooms taste. They are good for you so add as many as you like!

Probiotic Enzyme Salad

May 27, 2013

A few months ago a friend loaned me a book The Beauty Detox Solution. There were lots of good recipes and information in the book. A few weeks ago I tried making the Probiotic Enzyme Salad that she talks about in the book. It was very easy to make. You only need cabbage, salt, and filtered water. This salad helps promote optimal digestion and the cleansing of acidic waste, which helps contribute to increased energy. You let it ferment in your pantry for about a week, when you open the jar be prepared for a strong strong smell. The taste is not bad at all, just tangy like sauerkraut. It is packed full of vitamin C and healthy bacteria. I encourage you to give this a try. It will help balance the pH in your body and make your body happier. I eat about 1/2 cup each day at dinner time.
