... I Put that S*** on EveryThang!!





>First off - BWAHAHAHA! I love those commercials.




Next, Salsa!! I put that ish on everything! Why? Because its delicious.  I can't substansiate this next statement b/c there's so much conflict  and research but YES! I do believe it speeds up MY particular digestive process. and I KNOW that  for a fact I  - ya know - GO !.. more and better with peppers and spicy stuff. .




Ok that's a gross first paragraph.
On to the next if I didn't lose ya with the stool speak... (text)..


What did I make!? I made quinoa ...stuff". I dunno! I'll name it below before I publish this :/ #procrastinatororinnovator??;)


I like quinoa so I made it in bulk in my rice cooker (telling yall - time saver!!), then added bell pepper - red and yellow- onions, garlic and b/c  Kroger had a Manger's Day Sale (love those yellow/red stickers) I got tarragon for $0.99. It looked like it needed to meet my kitchen experimentation. I had to buy it. FYI -- Stay tuned for Tarragon's next appearance ;)


So I topped it off with salsa (again, delish) and TADA!!



If you're a recipe user here ya go:

Quinoa Mixed Up Munchies Control Bowl
- 1/2 red bell pepper, cut into chunks or diced
- 1/2 yello bell (if you have it)  cut into chunks or diced
- 1/2 cup onion Chopped)
-  1 fresh squeezed lemon
- 1 fresh squeezed lime
- 2 garlic cloves (peeled and diced)
annnnnnnndddd SALSA!!!
****************************************************************
I made the quinoa as outlined above, added all the other ingredients raw, and I'm enjoying as I type !  6-10 grams of protein, great source of a grain that my tummy lets me digest without issues...and, I'm full but not gross. I thought fried was my friend. It is not and we have broken up.  Best break up EVER!!

Even better? this is yummy and I can have it by itself or as part of a meal. I am lazier I think than folks give me credit for. I like to cook in bulk b/c I'm way too and busy to cook fresh, nutritious meals when I'm out of my house 12+ hrs a day.  Bulk quinoa saves me weekly!  its a staple next to my salsa (which I put on sweet potatoes too mmmm...)

So condiment or not, chips or otherwise, I love my salsa, I don't eat boring.. and you shouldn't either!

What DO YOU put on "EVERYTHANG"? :)

*enough slang for you? Ok I'm done :)*

Back to Food Basics

So I did an experiment this week.  I made bone broth and an entire week's worth of mustard/collard greens with that broth. Let me tell you what- Granny had it right -  shoot HAS it right! She's 94 and amazing. I remember thinking this is sooooo not enough food! But I was full after eating something as simple as greens and cornbread. I rarely got sick as a kid... Stayed pretty immune healthy (other than allergies but that's a mile long post). Being in the health and fitness industry, you'll see all kinds of fads go by. Low carb, high protein, gluten free, fat free etc etc. so when I saw the GAPS diet I blew it off. Looking at it closer- it's a back to basics thing. It's how I grew up. It's CHEAP!  My granny grew up in a time where there were no scraps, just opportunities to stretch meals from those extra weird pieces like neck bones, chicken bones, whatever was in the garden.  This isn't a blog about the GAPS diet (highly recommend you research though)  B...

Ongoing Lessons in Life and BALANCE

Hi My name is Jessica and I’m admittedly diagnosed with  ADHD. Watching my feed it’s like, “right. was there a question? You randomly dress in tutus”  However, I’ve always been more than functional with this, but sometimes, or rather for me, one time, it got to be more than I could bear. It takes a transition to get you to re-think and reassess how you approach things and how you react to changes and issues that come about. This is the longest post ever but here we go... The Background  I’m a middle child.    Middle child syndrome set in long ago and I’m definitely a people pleaser, mediator if you will. I love it and sometimes hate it.    I want to be mediated on once in a while! Can someone sorta let me just BE there and NOT be involved in the resolution? The answer is usually no.   Pressing on, I got married a little young, 23 to be exact and proceeded into full Stepmom (two amazing kiddos), wife, worker, grad student, gym go...

Divorce diaries

 this will be a shorter sort of rambling entry. It all matters. With my ex and I called it off, I put up a huge wall and that wall translated into every part of the life I have with my daughter. As much as I thought it didn't matter, kindergarten has been kicking my ass. You read that right my ass. All of it. And I have a big one. And why? Because of that damn wall. We weren't talking. So House on the right didn't know what house on the left was dealing with. It was pretty much awful. But I have seen though is my daughter be someone I didn't know she was, and show me that she's 100 times smarter and more clever than I ever gave her a little clever but credit for. So the diary of a divorcee  starts here…this is the lesson. They're smarter than us. So you got to talk. Kindergarten is getting a little better, actually a lot better. Who the heck learns Mandarin and Spanish , before they get there for teeth? And oh gosh the front teeth. That's another entry 😜… B...
