Rockin' Nails

So, I stopped at CVS last night with Steve to pick up some last minute things for Halloween. I stumbled on this awesome multi-colored confetti nail polish - couldn't resist. I think it will go well with my rock star costume, yes? I used bright orange with black crackle over it last week.

Wanted a change, so here it is (I call it "Party in the Night" cuz with all that sparkling confetti, it's like a party in the midnight sky :) And with that said, time for bed!)...

What do you think? It's O.P.I. in Yoga-ta Get This Blue! with Milani Jewel FX layered on top. So fun!

Warm, Hearty Fall Lunch!

I just made a super yummy lunch that is perfect for fall! 

"Fall into Healthy Stew"

Ingredients:

Precooked wheat bulgar (about 1 cup)

Trader Joe's Butternut Squash Soup (about 1 cup)

Frozen brussels sprouts (5-6)

1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1/3 C. Bob's Red Mill Nutritional Yeast flakes (doesn't need to be exact)

Dash of Salt, Pepper, and Cayenne Pepper

Cook the brussels sprouts in the microwave for about 2-3 minutes. Add the soup to the bulgar and mix everything together except the oil and nutritional yeast. Microwave for 2-3 minutes. Then add the nutritional yeast and EVOO (stir well). Top it off with a cup of Silk Original Almond Milk, warmed up for about 2 minutes and topped off with cinnamon. Yummy!

Let me know how you like it :)

What's for Dinner?

I made this not too long ago. It's is a mish mash of stuff I threw together (newly vegetarian/pseudo vegan) - 

1. Wheat bulgar with Lil sea salt/lemon pepper and raw red bell pepper, Lil cilantro 

2. Lentils with shitake mushrooms, baby portabello mushrooms, onion, Lil veg broth, Lil evoo and s&p 

3. "dessert" - sweet potato with drizzle coconut oil, dollop of tahini, sprinkle of unsweetened shredded coconut, cinnamon. 

4. Sit down and eat. Deelish!

Ha ha ha, Hee hee hee, Ho ho ho!

Hi Everyone,


Welcome to my new blog! This is pretty exciting, since it's the first blog I've ever made. Don't know why I didn't do it sooner, but some of my friends inspired me to start this so I could share and swap my favorite concoctions (food and crafts) and more! So I apologize in advance for the rocky start as I learn how to run this puppy.


Smiles are brewing :)


Wish me luck!
