Ayiyiyiyi - Cinco De Mayo! Hope everyone has a great time celebrating. The weather has officially started warming me up to lighter, get it out on the grill fare. Since I just had someone at our house this week to repair the window that was broken when I caught the house on fire while grilling last year - I say game on!
What do you think of my 'Hmm, I think I need a break from work' logo I made? I'm obsessed with a site www.pixlr.com - It's just like Photoshop, but free, and online... Ok, I just geeked out there - but really - I like the word Nourish - kind of my motto for life really, and the colors Gray & of course green :-) . To geek out just a bit further... I'm aware the logo doesn't go with this design/background thing that's going on.. maybe I'll see about updating the template this week.
I've also added a couple of 'pages' to this blog, - favorite snacks, and websites.... Maybe wait a week to peek at these, as I'm just starting lists that I'll add to as time goes on. These will help me (hopefully) remember different ideas & resources that I may have forgotten about... maybe a couple good ideas for y'all as well. If you have a great snack idea or site that you love, post a comment & share the knowledge people lol ;)
xoxo,
Meg

- Favorite... workout - Tracy Anderson Mat Method... she's a bit unique/not the most natural workout video personality, but actually like that she doesn't gab through the whole thing & am loving the approach - Exhaust the major muscles, so that you're working on the 'accessory' muscles for long, lean body (allegedly).
- Clean & Chop weekly veggie picks - Carrots, broccoli, bell peppers, Mushrooms
- BBQ 2-4 Chicken breast halves with skin (Olive Oil, sea salt, bbq until lovely) - Chop after cooled - Using for soup and lunches during the week.

- Quinoa Week - Cook 2 cups of quinoa in chicken or veggie broth. - Use it in jar salad, heat up for breakfast.. .eat with salsa & fried egg.
- Jar Salad- Cinco De Mayo Makes about 4 quart mason jars - The super secret trick is to put the heartiest stuff close to the dressing, and the stuff that can wilt up at top away from dressing. - These will last for the week, but we usually eat them all by Wednesday.
