Healthy and Delicious

Since we have watched Food Matters, I have been striving to make more smoothies with only fruit and vegetables (minus dairy). This one has:

1-Mango

1-large carrot

1-Leaf of Kale

1/2-Banana

Few-Blueberries

Sprinkle of Raw Organic sugar- I didn't have grapes today, my natural choice for giving it some sweetness :-) I looked scary after blending, but yummy in the mouth!!

Yum!

 Spring had arrived not only outside, but in our home! Watermelon sets the seasonal tone here.

 This is my absolute favorite dressing. it is delicious on a salad with crasins, strawberries, shredded cheese, chicken salad, and croutons. Found at: Kroger! Has sugar, but its real and no junky stuff. Try it!

Okay, so I attempted to make some "healthy" brownies. They were tasty however more like a dense cake :( I will have to perfect my recipe, but so far I substituted 1/2 the butter requirement with 1/4 of flax meal, 2T peanut butter, organic sugar and cocoa.... topped with a warmed (unhealthy, lol) frosting... like I said I am working out the kinks :)

I am aware that this is random, however I was not aware that pea pods looked like this when fresh and opened up... I guess I was thinking it would be more like sugar naps... Gods creation is just so magnificent! Our master engineer

Tonight's dinner: Chicken-bacon-avacado-onion Kabobs!
They were delicious and I mixed up a little ranch and chili powder to top it off and it added some zest!

Bacon is from: John Henry's Meat. I get it at the Royal Oak farmers market and it is amazing! We also get mini cottage hams from there, the only meat Malena will eat and (all) is free of nitrates!

Chicken: Costco Organic Chicken breast, yum!
