When I'm Bad: Grab and Go ...

Please! I don't even want to talk about it.

















I have no time to prepare so this is what I eat.
CRAP
(tasty tho)

When I'm Good: Juicing it

My favorite mixture for an afternoon drink:


Carrot Juice as the base for everything, followed by a handful of spinach, one whole beet, 1/4 head of red cabbage. Juice together and enjoy!

Cheese Doodles

Domo's favorite snack!


Cheese Doodles with extra Cheddar, of course. Finger licking good.

When I'm Good: Avocados

The perfect snack!

Slices of Avocado over a bed of Red Cabbage, sprinkled with cracked pepper makes the perfect snack. Add dressing for a healthy salad.

Dressing: 1 tbsp Olive oil, 1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar, 1/8 of Red Onion chopped, 1 tsp minced Garlic. Sautee a couple of minutes and pour directly over Avocados.

Delish.

When I'm Good: Apple & Pear Salad

This is one of my very favorite side dishes. It's easy to make and everyone seems to like it (except for Domenick) :-


















One Golden Delish Apple (Cut into bite size pieces)
One Pear (Cut into bite size pieces)
3 Stalks of Celery (Chopped fine)
4 Dates (Chopped fine)
1/2 cup of Pecans (Chopped fine)
Juice of 1 Orange
Juice of 1 Lemon

** Pour Orange and Lemon juices over chopped apple and pear to keep from turning brown. Leave for about 10 minutes. Then Drain (juice to be used later for dressing).

** Once fruit juice is drained add Celery, Dates and 1/2 the chopped Pecans together in bowl and mix well.Dressing:

Take the rest of the chopped Pecans and put in food processor along with drained juice.Makes a tangy delish salad.Serving size 2

My tee's too tight

I've been so busy lately, running back and forth from the boutique to the factory that my "healthy" eating habits are totally out the window ... I'm eating anything and everything just to fill the void in my stomach.

Just to give you a little back drop ...
I love to drink raw carrot juice, hate wheat grass juice but will drink it because it's supposed to be good for me. I eat raw salads with lemon dressing, love Avocados and Red Onions wrapped in Red Cabbage leaves and drink pure distilled water ... that's when I'm good.

When I'm bad, stressed out, and have no time to plan my meals, I turn to sugar. Lots of it.

Yesterday I had a glazed donut for breakfast, a large chocolate chip cookie for lunch, McDonald's salad for dinner and ice cream for a late night snack.

Today, I had a banana nut muffin for breakfast, and I hate to admit this, but I had 2 "huge" chocolate chip cookies for lunch. Tonight will be some sort of a pasta dish.

Must ... stop ... eating ... crap!
