Guacamole

Today is definitely a guacamole and chips day. I don't really know what defines a day such as this, but really just every day is a guacamole and chips kind of day.

I usually make enough for multiple people. I also love love love onions and garlic, so really you can put however much of each ingredient in that satisfies you!
Here is the recipe for how I make this staple in my diet:

• 3-5 avocados
• 2 small tomatoes
• 1/3 of an onion
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 lime (rolled on the counter before cutting so the juices get flowing)
• 1/2 of an orange
• a couple dashes of salt
• cilantro (I don't use this ingredient, but it's defintely a popular one)

Dice it all up and mix it all up! Yummy-yummmm.
Now I usually buy some organic blue corn tortilla chips from the store, but in this instance I forgot the chips! Instead, I sliced up some tortillas and threw them in the oven at 350 degrees until they were crispy to my liking.

Health

Okay, so I've been sick... for the past 13 days. Now my throat is killing me! I've decided - after unsuccessfully trying to find a doctor near my new home - that I WILL kick this sickness on my own. For now I can only consume liquids, but when I can I am going to go shopping for all new healthy vegetarian foods! Today I've only had a mug of Detox tea and a can of tomato bisque soup.

I've been researching ways to boost my immune system while forming my new grocery list. I have now visited quite a few sites in the past 2 hours and discovered some things I never new!

• Gelatin is made from bones. Avoid marshmallows and gelatin desserts.
• Learn to avoid certain E numbers. Sometimes even bread cannot be trusted! Take for example M&Ms. It includes E120 for coloring some of the M&Ms red. This is done by squashing a lot of insects.

One thing I did know that the site also mentioned was the fact that many vegetable soups are made with chicken or beef stock, so make sure to look for a vegetarian vegetable!
At the cafe I used to work at we had a broccoli cheese soup that was made with whole milk and chicken stock so also look out if you are vegan for dairy products in soups.

So, here's to a new, healthier leaf! May I get healthy soon.

Food should taste good

Yesterday I baked some tortillas in the oven and poured a glass of dark chocolate Almond milk.  The scrambled eggs are accompanied by potatoes, tomatoes, red bell pepper, chopped mozarella cheese, onions, and topped with shredded colby jack. The potatoes sure did take a while to cook, but hey it was my first time! Definitely worth it.

This is definitely in my top 5 favorite meals since I've been in college. Beer battered fish with a pickle and some pepper jack cheese and ketchup on the side. The potatoes are stir-fried with onions, red bell peppers, tomatoes, basil and a dash of salt, topped with a slice of pepper jack. Ohh boyy :)

Project X

My goal is to not conform. It may seem that by blogging about such a raging film it is conforming to popular interest; however, I beg to differ. If I were to witness this picture and then refrain from sharing its infectiousness then I would be conforming to not conforming. I do what I waaant..

Anywayss, This movie is soo dirtyyyy! Insane. Grrreat. Makes me want to rage in an amazing way.

Oh yeah.. and here is the soundtrack:

Time to wind down with Halloween. We both do our own thing and see each other when we want to! I finally got her real kitty food and a flea collar (don't worry the collar is a break away one). The princess is asleep on my legs right now:)

P.S. I've spent the last two days at the beach with the sand and the frigid water. Natural, sunny tan here I come! The weather has been B-E-A-U-tiful!

5 year goal

My five year goal is to be on Antigua! My friend Adam is there now, he helped with this beautiful picture. I will be on this island!
