A New Take On Salad

If you are like me, you LOVE salad! I really really love salad of almost any kind, which is lucky because its so good for me! But what if you could make salad even more healthy and still keep it delicious? YOU CAN! Instead of using romaine lettuce, or iceburg lettuce, or spinach, or whatever you have been using to make your salads, what about using kale (my little obsession)? You should try it because kale is crazy healthy for you, and it makes you feel so energized after you eat it or drink it in a smoothie. When I first made a kale salad i found it good, but a little harsh. I'm not sure how to exactly describe raw kale but for lack of a better word I will call it tough. Anyway, I was on Young and Raw as I usually am, and I saw a recipe for a kale salad that suggested that is kale is to harsh for you, steam it and then let it cool! Then once it is completely cool add any veg you want, any dressing you want (homemade is best and if not go for a store bought vinaigrette.) I chose cucumbers, tomatoes, and red peppers, and then because I am so far failing at homemade salad dressings, I chose a balsamic vinegar dressing! It is so good I cant even explain it to you. You have got to try this idea out, you will feel great, I promise!

NOW GET OUTSIDE AND GET MOVING, ITS A BEAUTIFUL DAY! (at least where I live :))

Until next time,

Brown Rice Sushi

Found this recipe I really want to try! I love sushi, so making an even healthy sushi makes me very happy! I found this recipe on epicurious.com.

Ingredients:

• Scant 2/3 cup short-grain brown rice*
• 1 cup plus 1 teaspoon water
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar**
• 1 teaspoon wasabi powder**
• 2 (8 1/4- by 7 1/4-inch) sheets roasted nori** (dried laver)
• 1/2 Kirby cucumber, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/16-inch-thick matchsticks
• 1/2 carrot, cut into 1/16-inch-thick matchsticks
• 1/2 firm-ripe small California avocado
• 3/4 oz radish sprouts*, roots trimmed

Rinse rice well and bring to a boil with 1 cup water and 1 teaspoon soy sauce in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan, then reduce heat to very low and simmer, tightly covered, until water is absorbed, about 40 minutes. Remove from heat and let rice stand, covered, 10 minutes.

While rice is standing, stir together vinegar and remaining teaspoon soy sauce.

Transfer rice to a wide nonmetal bowl (preferably wood, ceramic, or glass) and sprinkle with vinegar mixture, tossing gently with a large spoon to combine. Cool rice, tossing occasionally, about 15 minutes.

Stir together wasabi and remaining teaspoon water to form a stiff paste. Let stand at least 15 minutes (to allow flavors to develop).

Place sushi mat on a work surface with slats running crosswise. Arrange 1 sheet nori, shiny side down, on mat, lining up a long edge of sheet with edge of mat nearest you. Using damp fingers, gently press half of rice (about 3/4 cup) onto nori in 1 layer, leaving a 1 3/4-inch border on side farthest from you.

Arrange half of cucumber in an even strip horizontally across rice, starting 1 inch from side nearest you. (You may need to cut pieces to fit from side to side.) Arrange half of carrot just above cucumber in same manner. Peel avocado half and cut lengthwise into thin slices, then arrange half of slices just above carrot in same manner. Repeat with radish sprouts, letting some sprout tops extend beyond edge.

Beginning with edge nearest you, lift mat up with your thumbs, holding filling in place with your fingers, and fold mat over filling so that upper and lower edges of rice meet, then squeeze gently but firmly along length of roll, tugging edge of mat farthest from you to tighten. (Nori border will still be flat on mat.) Open mat and roll log forward to seal with nori border. (Moisture from rice will seal roll.) Transfer roll, seam side down, to a cutting board. Make second log in same manner, then cut each log crosswise into 6 pieces with a wet thin-bladed knife. Serve with wasabi paste, soy sauce, and ginger. 

I will definetely be trying this!!!!!

To give you an update on my healthy living progress, this weekend didn't go so well, i had no time to exercise and i had events to go to that served not the healthiest food choices, so i am trying to get back on track but its a struggle because i am craving pizza like mad! Wish me luck and no laziness!

Warm the salsa in the pan and put on top of the whole thing! Eat up!!!!!!! Yummy and pretty healthy! (The only thing that might be kind of unhealthy is the cheese!)

What You Are Really Eating

I have worked at McDonalds, Subway, and Quiznos and I have friends who have worked at Starbucks and Tim Hortons and there are some things about these places you might not know about! I thought I would tell you some of the ones I can think of now and maybe more later as I think of them!

McDonald's

The pancakes are frozen and then warmed, not made from scratch
The fryer oil is actually lard
They put a ridiculous amount of gross drippy butter (which is not even actually butter) on your egg mcmuffin ... Try it without butter for a healthy alternative!
There are a million things wrong with McDonald's... I just avoid it all together!

Tim Hortons

The stuff at the bottom of the hot chocolate is salt. They salt it to give it more flavour, but it is so unhealthy! Grab a chocolate milk instead.

While we are on the topic of chocolate milk, when buying chocolate milk make sure it doesn't say beverage underneath. Read the ingredients. Home companies like Beatrice have real chocolate milk and fake chocolate milk that looks exactly like the real milk carton only it says beverage. It's cheaper for them to make and also is very unhealthy!

Stay away from nestlea products, they are a horrible company! From treating their employees badly to torturing animals, to using poor quality ingredients! And they don't even taste that good!

Places that use frozen eggs for their breakfast sandwiches instead of fresh:

Tim Hortons
Starbucks
Subway

these are filled with preservatives!

Did you know that if you are craving a Starbucks but can't find one, Subway has the same exact coffee!

Quiznos:

The bread is frozen and they just thaw it!

I hope this was helpful!

Healthy Lunch Ideas: French Toast

What do you bring in your lunch to work?

Today I brought an apple, a banana, a mango, some cucumbers, some baby carrots, some multigrain crackers, and some granola and dried cranberries!

Have you ever thought about bringing French toast with you to work? It's one of my FAVORITE work lunch ideas! I cook it before work with enough time to let it cool down, then I cut it into strips for dipping and put syrup in a small Tupperware on the side! When you get to work put it into the microwave for about a minute and eat up! DELISH!

Something to think about:

Using almond milk instead of milk
Instead of syrup, put some Nutella into a small Tupperware and slice up a banana when you get to work (so it doesn't go brown) to have chocolate banana French toast!

Have a fantastic day!

Romaine Lettuce is The New Hamburger Bun

For a healthy alternative to a hamburger bun, take two nice big pieces of romaine lettuce and make a delicious homemade burger for inside! I added some jalapeño havarti and tomatoes !

Healthy and Disgusting Green Smoothie

This green smoothie is unbelievably healthy for you and also great if you are hoping to lose wait or wanting clearer skin. It contains kale (my obsession at the moment) which is so good for you in a million ways! I chose to make this smoothie after I found it on the website "Young and Raw," but i didn't expect it to be as gross as it turned out to be! I drank it though and felt great afterwards! Now i have come up with some additions that help with flavour but still keep it nice and healthy!

It doesn't look very appetizing does it?

Original Ingredients:

Kale
Cucumber
Granny Smith Apple
Ginger
Fresh Parsley
Water

Ingredients to make it taste better:

Frozen Strawberries (small handful)
Lime Juice (Freshly squeezed)
Frozen Mango
Fresh Banana (one)

Additions to add even more health:

Hemp Hearts (1 tbsp)
Chia Seeds (1tsp)

 Throw all the ingredients in the blender (or bullet?) and smoothie it up! (I didn't include how much of everything because i change it every time, sometimes more kale, sometimes more cucumber, etc... I have been making a healthy green smoothie everyday for myself and my boyfriend and we are feeling very good! I tried to make it for breakfast but its still cold out and I cant bring myself to drink a smoothie when im already freezing!

Super Cranberry Salad

This super salad is super easy, super healthy, super delicious and made with a super food! Kale is a form of cabbage, but if you are like me and aren't crazy about cabbage, don't worry, I don't think it tastes like cabbage at all. Also it doesn't have the nasty side effects of cabbage (gas!) so that is a definite plus! Kale is known as a super food because it is one of the healthiest veggies you can eat! (I am literally obsessed with it right now! I'm putting it in everything! Even smoothies!) Kale is high in iron (which is something i am deficient in) and is full of antioxidants, among other things... It has even been known to help prevent some types of cancer! Very interesting stuff! I strongly suggest researching more into this super food! My boyfriend and I had this salad for dinner on Friday night and my was it good!

Super Salad Recipe

Ingredients:

Kale
1 Royal Gala Apple
Dried Cranberries (Preferably no sugar added)
Either Almonds or Pecans

Optional:

Feta Cheese (Makes it less healthy)
Hemp Hearts

Dressing:

Make your own! or if you new to this like me, use Kraft Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing.


It is very good! But keep in mind, Kale is not lettuce and it does taste different! It will make you feel great!
