This and That

   I have been MIA for a few days so thought I would update about a few things... I've been sssssooooo busy I haven't had time to sit and think on here. Sorry.

    Weather is beautiful and Spring is in full swing! Looking pretty and making people sneeze. Thankfully I don't have issues in the Spring time but I will in the Fall. So for now I will just enjoy the beautiful weather and sunshine! April is my favorite because that is when you see all the tulips. Pink tulips are my favorite flower. One of my other favorite things is to sit in the park area of Atlantic Station (community where I work) during lunch and people watch! Everyone is so consumed in themselves and what they have going on. I see all types of people in the short hour I have to enjoy my yummy lunch! I have people that look at me weird from time to time when they see me sitting on a bench eating my lunch from a lunchbox. I guess they would find it more normal if I was sitting there eating food from the local eateries. I'm too dedicated to my lifestyle to do that. I do my prep meals on Sunday for the entire week unless I'm eating fish then I cook it the night before. For example today for lunch I had  salmon, asparagus, and sweet potato fries (home made with a tiny bit of olive oil and baked, so yum!). For dessert I had vanilla Greek yogurt with black berries, blue berries, raspberries, and strawberries. Right now I'm a little obsessed with berries. SSSOOO tasty and SSSOOO healthy for you! Full of antioxidants and loaded with fiber.    

Blackberries and Raspberries each contains 8 grams (g) of fiber in one cup
Blueberries contain 20 types of anthocyanin – antioxidants that give berries their blue-violet and red colors. Other berries contain only three or four types.

Strawberries contain more vitamin C in a one-cup serving than one orange and are particularly high in folic acid.

The other night the kids and I had tacos made with ground turkey, spinach for our lettuce, diced tomatoes, home made guacamole, and the kids had some shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Wrapped up in whole wheat tortillas. I took it for lunch the next day but with more spinach and no tortilla (made it into a salad, left overs don't have to be the boring same ole thing you had the night before)

... Here is the recipe of my salt free taco seasoning!

1 tbsp chili powder

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

1/4 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp paprika 

1.5 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp black pepper

Enjoy!

More to come,

       Stay Fabulous!
