Friday Night Cook Off

And here you have it! Post of the week....

Had myself a little cooking party last night, so I made the following:

Coconut Shrimp
1.5 pounds prawns
2 - 3 tsp ginger root
2 - 3 tsp garlic
1 can coconut milk
salt
pepper

Heat a frying pan, add coconut oil, then put your prawns into the pan, add your garlic & ginger then coconut milk. Bring to a boil. So good! 



Then, I made this...

Basil/Spinach Saute
4 - 5 handfuls of baby spinach
fresh basil, lots
baby tomatos
1/2 yellow onion
1 - 2 tsp garlic
salt
pepper


Heat a pan, add coconut oil, saute onions until translucent, then tomatoes, then spinach & basil. It's yummy!


I need a better camera! Enjoy!

Happy Friday people! You know what that means to me!? I've had the day off. Yes, Fridays off! Sometimes, I have it so good - ok wait, I have it good a lot. I really do. So, I'm feeling pretty joyful today. I know you're wondering why, so I'll tell you: 1) The first person I saw today was my hot chiropractor. Yeah, he's hot. And nice. And smart. And hot. As I once told my friend, "You'd get injured just to be able to see him." He made my hips feel a little better. Yay. 2) I drank another one of those smoothies that I can't get over. I added some spinach for good measure. 3) I visited my friend Rebekah for a massage. That b*tch put me in all sorts of pain but lubricated me in oil and we laughed, so it was good. I'm sure I'll feel a lot better tomorrow! It was VERY needed. 4) It's sunny out! LOVE sun. 5) Jana and I booked a trip to Vegas and going to the Passport Office made me 10X more excited for it. 6) I'm meeting my wo...

AMAZING! What a super great, fantastic program ! I missed it when I wasn't doing it. I got paired up with wonderful lady named Ceecee who lives in Vancouver. So, of course, being in Vancouver, she had all sorts of access to delicious finds! You can read up on her and her kitchen adventures  here ! So, here we are: Homemade Pumpkin Chia Granola - I ate half the bag upon opening it. OMGSOGOOD. Chocolate covered dried banana - Also eaten as soon as I opened the package Sea Salt Fusion Veggie Garnish Vancouver's Hottest Salt and a tiny cute spoon to go with it Hemp Hearts Espresso Bean Chocolate Bar This was great! Thank you so, so much Ceecee! I'm on Day #5 of the Whole30 (which I'll update on later) so I'll have to wait until after to enjoy the chocolate bar and the other half bag of granola! It'll be such a treat after. I was paired up with Theresa in Delta, BC. I made the package a spicy theme - Black Bean Chips, Spicy Jalapeno Salsa and Ch...
