Healthy & Happy

I was just looking over my past couple of posts, my goodness it's been a busy few months! I'm still busy, but it's amazing how my eating has naturally fallen back into place. High raw, no sugar, whole grains, lots of veggies and no anxiety over-eating (despite having my share of anxiety!) 

I've been buying heirloom tomatoes lately and loving salads with lemon juice, olive oil, and sea salt as dressing!


I've been using simple almond milk as the base for most of my smoothies, just blend 3 tbsp of almond butter with one cup of filtered water, and voila! Here are some spinach, banana, almond milk smoothies.


My boyfriend and I have been on a steady diet of brown rice and vegetables for dinner. Brown rice and stir fry style veggies, brown rice with black beans and spicy veggies, brown rice pasta with broccoli, spinach, and tomato sauce etc. etc. It never seems to get old!

This is a stir fry I made with broccoli, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, peppers, olive oil, braggs liquid aminos, ginger, a pinch of cayenne, and cashews. So very very good.


I wanted this to be banana ice cream, but it wanted to be a smoothie.


I wanted this to be a mixed berry peanut butter smoothie, but it wanted to be ice cream! Both were delicious either way!


A simple snack: Tomato Dulse Sandwich... mmmmmmmm...


Sprouted whole grain bread, heirloom tomatoes, dulse, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and olive oil to moisten the bread! 


And lastly, congratulations to my brothers for graduating High School and Jr. High School!!!

  4. i'm totally with you on the heirloom tomatoes. love them.

    coconut sugar is a must. it's insanity. i am not sure how it ranks nutritionally or in comparison to the other sugar replacements...i probably shouldn't be eating the little chunks of it straight up, but alas, it happens. lol.

    glad to hear you are back in track. i hate when things happen and your routine gets all messy!

  6. i just found your blog and i have to say , i am totally in love with your food philosophy! i am trying to adopt a more plant-based diet (i'm vegetarian but flexible... i eat honey too... and once in awhile dairy though dairy is NOT good for my digestive system either)... cant wait to see future posts!
