March Weekend Reboot!




Well February is like a rude house guest that has come and gone and didn't even have the courtesy to leave a thank you note! I can't believe it is March! Actually, I can, and the only reason I believe it is because I had to pay rent today... bye-bye money, hello roof over my head, lol! So much happened in these 28 days I can't even keep up! Here's the quick highlights:


  - Worked more catering gigs this month that last 2 combined
  - One of my closest friends had one of the sweetest baby showers I    have ever attended
  - Moved officially into the new kitchen, and almost have it organized - Met a slew of wonderful new people
- Took a quick relax trip to Del Mar to play with the man friend and the dogs on the beach!



There's a quick little snap shot into the land of vacation :) notice there's no pictures of food... well that is because I ate like a moron on vacation and strayed so far from my regular healthy ways my body is actively trying to murder from the inside out. Oh man... it's like a vicious tiny demon is in my stomach with an ax trying to the prove the point that junk food is from the devil. I feel like the only thing I can possibly do at this point is a reboot, and pray to the belly god for forgiveness! So this post is for all you folks out there who maybe ate too may chocolates over Valentines Day, or have been struggling to eat better after all the holidays, or went for a mini vaycay and ate like a fool (that last one is me). Here's a quick healthy reboot menu for this weekend coming up, load up on produce at your favorite health food market, and let's do this!!






Saturday: 

Breakfast: 
The Ultimate Green Machine Smoothie (Grande Size) remember this recipe, its the BEST start to the morning: http://delishdishchronicles.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-smoothie-series.html

Lunch: 
Vitamin Rich Juice: 1 cucumber, 4 carrots, handful of spinach, 3 tomatoes, 2 celery ribs, and 2 sprigs of parsley

Raw Veggies to snack on with Hummus: 1 can garbanzo beans, 1/3 cup tahini, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 2 pressed garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons water (if needed), and S&P for taste.

Dinner:
Keep in simple with a serving of quinoa topped with your choice of lightly steamed veggies (I'm opting for Kale, carrots, zucchini, and broccoli) *If you feel like you need a little extra flavor drizzle some Braggs Liquid Amino over your dish

Dessert:
Ha, no way. Have a handful of grapes or a couple strawberries ;)

It is aways easier to do this with a friend, so be my friend and let's do this together!

Let's reboot and start March super healthy!!
