Driving to Tucson

Today I drove to Tucson for my cousin's bridal shower. Before I left I made a green monster for the road!
It contained:

3 cups of baby spinach
1 cup of blueberries
1 cup almond milk
2 Tbsp ground flax seed
1 small packet of chocolate rice protein powder


Rice protein powder is not my favorite, but it tasted pretty good.

It was super rainy, but I was careful.

The shower was really nice, the bridal shower that is. The rain was refreshing too.

Healthy Snacks!


This I ate a very healthy snack... more like breakfast was a Dr. Pepper and Gluten-Free Brownies. Since making brownies with gluten... for the <3 for Valentine's Day I had been craving them! So last night I made some and today I ate some!

For dinner I used the other half of my delicious spaghetti squash. I topped it with Classico Tomato Basil and grated parmesan.


I had a small caesar to go along with my spaghetti, which consisted of romaine lettuce, Newmans Caesar dressing, bacon bits, shredded parmesan, and fresh squeezed lemons. Yummy! I could eat this everyday!

Spaghetti Squash

Tonight for dinner I made spaghetti squash with mixed veggies. I learned how to make spaghetti squash on my own. There is a sticker on the squash when you buy it, I tried to follow them, but they were difficult and the squash was too hard to cut prior to cooking. So here are my directions.

1.) Wash squash
2.) Wrap in cling wrap
3.) Stab a few holes in the squash.
4.) Stick in the mic for 12 minutes. (add or minus one or two depending on size.)
5.) Be careful when taking it out of the mic is will be very hot.
6.) Cut it in half length wise.
7.) Scoop out the middle part with the seeds.
8.) Use a fork to scrap out the inside.


Simple, right? :)

I added some frozen mixed veggies, which I cooked in the mic. I flavored with butter, pepper, and a little bit of salt.
