on my mini

so i'm on my new mini computer. i really would have loved a mac book or something but unfortunately i don't have money for that right now and this little tiny thing will be fine for my emails and office stuff. . . it's pretty little, and a little slow but it does the job so far.

so kiko and i have still been eating plant based (kiko has lost 20#! and is now choosing to eat this way because of how amazing it makes him feel!)

my friend cadee asked me how i did it, got kiko to give up meat.

honestly it makes you feel so much better. eating animal protien is actually terrible for you (read the china study if you don't believe me. . . eat a lot of animal protien and increase your risk of heart disease, cancer and diabetes not to meantion obesity!)

dinner tonight:

sweet potato tacos:

diced sweet potatos, baby bellas, red pepper, and onions sauted in veggie broth and a little olive oil.

served on fresh tortillas with salsa, romain, chopped tomatos, and a little daiya "cheese"

kale and avacado slaw:

raw kale

mushed up avacado

diced red pepper

diced red onion

a little lime juice

a squirt of braggs amino (this stuff is awesome if you don't use it already)

i was going to make corn too but forgot and we were full by the time i remembered!

YUM :)

healthy living

feeling inspired by many sources. . . heal your self with food.
i'm afraid for kiko i'm moving gently away from meat.
raw foodie and vegan friends (and bill clinton) are inspiring me to eat in a way that makes me feel my best and be healthy, not only for me but for the world.

the china study
i'm going to check this one out next: the food revolution

lunches

so cute huh?! i feel like a lazy mama :)

need an eater's manuel?

this is clear concise and PERFECT! it only leaves out fasting, but i guess that's the opposite of eating but i think it's a new rule of mine. fasting is really amazing i recommend it.

rule #1. is eat food.
(do you know the difference between food and food like substances?)

food obsession

since completing my master cleanse i've been obsessed with fruits and veg. i've been eating fruits for breakfast and snacks and a veg for lunch and dinner. i've been trying to eat lots of raw food, not a raw foodie by any means but i think it's important to eat some raw food everyday.

i've been trying to not eat much meat or dairy as i've eased back in to the world of food. i'm feeling good so far.

i've been working out, doing my p90x and going to yoga. i gotta do some running soon too but i've had a lot of work to do! UGH. . .

i think i'm going to do a yoga teacher traing too. . .

first friday

this was at artists on sante fe, ceramics by kim dufford. i really liked her stuff. there are a bunch of artists there and some of the studio spaces were open. . . oh what a dream!
these cool wood blocks at chac. it's chicano artist, i love it! kiko and i were going to have our reception there, before our surprise ruined our plans! it's a great patio with the little white lights! love it! (mike penny artist)
(by mike penny)
these were really cool like found art/mixed media collages by suzanne martino


i forgot to write down who this was, i loved the tile on the left!

grandma w. put pamer down on friday so kiko and i could go out and look at some art and have a little date. we went down to sante fe art district here in denver

then we had a drink at sputnik and had yummy buffalo/mac & cheese fries and lamby joe sliders at jonesy's eat bar. we were home and tired at 10:30! we're so old!

i love. . .

nigella lawson! i was up early with a sicky kid and caught an old episode of nigella feasts on the food network. . . . sake salmon and rice for dinner! when is she going to have new episodes? i should get some of her books.
