Sun is shining, the weather is sweet. Make you want to move your dancing feet. -Bob Marley (Rocks!)
Yay the sun is out today and I am getting ready to head out to work. I pulled some weeds around the raspberry and blueberry bush. Now I feel a little more accomplished today.
Will it just stop raining and being cold!! C’mon Spring where are you hiding at? Did I miss something? The weather has been crazy the past few months, since we had winter. Winter was insane!! The amount of snow we got reached record heights and blew the minds of the people of Western Pennsylvania! So this year I decided to start a garden. Adam bought some plants to start me off for my birthday. This is so exciting! I really hope something grows. We planted tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, strawberries, cabbage, carrots, cilantro, arugula, a raspberry bush and blueberry bush. Wish me luck. So to go along with eating healthy I wanted to have homegrown yummy food.
Had dinner last night at the Bocktown Beer and Grill and that was awesome! Adam’s brother picked up a magazine on the way out called Edible Allegheny. Well let me just tell you, I am so excited to have this magazine. It has so much information and events pertaining to local food that I was bursting at the seems with excitement! It’s great to find information regarding a healthy lifestyle.
Today I went to work and in the way I decided to stop at the Market District in Robinson to grab something to eat for breakfast. I stupidly bought fruit from the fruit/cold food bar and spent $9 bucks on a 1lb of fruit! Seriously, who does that? I could have purchased a bundle of fruit of all sorts for so much less. Remind me not do that again!
Hello Blog world. It’s been quite a while since I posted anything. I haven’t been keeping up with this whole blog thing. I thought it would be easier. I guess I have days when I don’t know what to say or don’t think what I have to say will be interesting. Right now in my life I am focusing on food and eating healthier. I’ve discovered some products from a company called Nutiva They have hemp products such as: hemp seed, hemp oil and even hemp granola bars. Now I know what you are thinking, “Hemp, isn’t that Marijuana? Can you get high from it” Umm NO dummy! Hemp is very good for you, and obviously there isn’t any THC in it. I purchased a sample pack with everything and I have been making Hemp protein shakes, I ate all the hemp granola bars (with sunflower seeds etc. yumm), and I made a hemp Super Food shake (which I love) and I also got coconut oil. Coconut oil is great for cooking ( I’ve been using it instead of butter) and I even put it in my super food shake! It’s good for you skin and hair, and it tastes great too. I have been feeling happy and full of energy. I recommend everyone to try hemp products and you’ll feel great, I promise you! There’s so many benefits to using hemp in your daily life and replacing the bad with the good. Trust me!! Nutiva Hemp Products
Also along with Nutiva I found a Raw food enthusiast Ani Phyo she introduced me to the Super Food Shake . She is coming out with a new cookbook and I will definitely be getting it. I don’t know if I will be going on a Raw food diet, but her recipes look amazing and I can’t wait to try them.
After recently viewing the movie Food Inc. I haven’t been interested in eating meat, especially meat that didn’t come from a happy, well cared for animal. So I have decided that the only way I will eat meat is if it’s local and happy. Happy chickens, cows, pigs, everything! If you have any idea where I can go in Beaver or Allegheny county , let me know.
Eat Well, Live Well
Namaste
