My Kind of Taco Salad

Thank you for all of the great comments about The China Study!

It was fun to “hear” what others think about this matter. I appreciated all of your honest opinions.

On to dinner time……..

These three items were my inspiration behind my version of Taco Salad:

First I made a fabulous salad with lots of fixins:

There is lots of love in that baby…….

Then I warmed up the beans with the corn in a saucepan.

Microwaved the brown rice.

Chopped up the avocado:

Nothing says, “Taco Salad” more than cheese in my opinion:

I prefer the goat over the yellow kind.

All together now with some hot sauce on top:

Super good!

Happy Thursday………

Any fun weekend plans yet?

Green Recovery and New Product

Last night was all about recovery for my husband. So I thought I would make a delicious pasta dish (meaning use up the remnants of our refrigerator and see what happens!).

I sautéed garlic in olive oil:

Chopped up various veggies:

Tossed them in with the garlic/olive oil mixture:

Added some chopped kalamata olives:

and these-I know kind of weird but they added much-needed flavor to the recipe (remember I was cleaning out the fridge):

All together now:

Served it over pasta and added some more green-avocado for a super green feast!

I was worried that it would taste weird but it was very good and satisfying.  I am convinced you can not add anything to pasta that would not taste good.

Anyone else feel the love for pasta like I do?

We finished off the night a bit naughty…….

Hee! Hee! By eating cookies dipped in almond milk!

This morning I tried a new product in my shake:

I ran out of Bovine Colostrum.  When I was at the doctor the other day, the nutritionist on staff recommended this to me.  I like how it made my shake creamy and slightly thicker.  I am also happy to add a bit of protein to my morning meal.  This is whey protein but has no added flavors or sugars.  It goes really well with the Amazing Grass.

Hope you had a great Sunday!
