YEAH its the WEEKEND!!!!

OH how I long for FRIDAYS (all week long)..... its the gateway to the WEEKEND :) I just love the free time and time to relax. The work weeks are now so busy, so chaotic, when you are done the work day, there is so little energy and time left. I do challenge my self to stay busy on the week days..... as every spare minute makes up REAL LIFE :)


I'm really looking forward to hanging out with my momma today. We have mother/ daughter time planned. First on the list is a local Farmers' Market. I'm excited to see what fresh and local food will be available.

Ciao for now.
:) HAVE  A FABULOUS SATURDAY

Beautiful flowers I received from my hubby for our anniversary yesterday <blush>
xoxo They are beautiful from every angle.... hard to choose which pic to use :) 

 

And it begins.... clean eating that is ;)

Wow .... I've been soo busy learning about eating "clean". I am so inspired and captivated by the yummy-ness and creative-ness of this way of eating. Everything tastes so delicious and is so filling!! I look forward to preparing the meals, and especially eating them!!!

Here is a look at todays yummy-ness

Breakfast.... was healthy omelettes (not much to look at ..... but tasty to eat (with salsa of course)!!! ).... with my favorite Italian salad...... and delicious hazelnut coffee.....

Then dinner was even more amazing.......

Asparagus/ Smoked Salmon inspired by Tosca Reno reciepe and 

Coleslaw by http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/vinegary_coleslaw.html

The rest.... my own creation :) 

Ohh this experience of creating fresh, yummy, healthy food is such a great JOURNEY :) I can't wait to see what is next!!!!

Now for a relaxing walk with my love, V.... the sun set is amazing..... and needs to be enjoyed!!

 :) 

Good Nite :)

Todays the DAY to PLAN 4 TOMORROW ;)

So I spent some time reflecting and wandering around in Chapters this evening......it is such a great place for being inspired and perking creativity. I found some really interesting reading material. At the top of my list is the "Clean & Lean Diet" by James Duigan.... looking really yummy, healthy, and motivating. 

My first experience with "eating clean" was a week ago when I ate at D'Lish with my momma and hubby. They use fresh (and as local as possible) food for all their meals!!! I couldn't believe how good I felt after the meal... I was so satisfied with the D'LISH-ous flavors and freshness of the food. I wasn't overly fully BUT actually satisfied. The dinner was and EXPERIENCE to remember. 

So I have been contemplating trying to eat fresh and clean. One of the challenges I anticipate with this plan.... is the availability of FRESH & LOCAL food..... IN THE WINTER (of which there are many months of this where I live!!!) and potentially...... THE COST!!! I think it is worth a try......


So I think reading this book is a decent start to learning about this type of eating....I think actually doing it will be enough to CONVINCE me to maintain this lifestyle.... so heres hoping :)


What foods to you eat that are satisfying and filling without "toxins" or "processing"??

Good Night
