fish for dinner.

This last weekend we branched out and picked out some tilapia while grocery shopping.  I am working on getting over my fear of cooking fish because we really enjoy it!  

TT cooked the wild rice and we chopped up some fresh tomatoes, avocados, limes, cilantro, canned corn, and threw it all together to create the entire meal.  The flavor was unreal!  We'll definitely be having this again.  Making dinner with TT is one of my most favorite things to do.

I will say this , it is a little difficult to try and photograph, cook, and sit down to enjoy the meal too!

breakfast time.

I have a confession.  I look forward to breakfast when I'm getting ready for bed.  I love breakfast.  I love oatmeal, cereal, protein bars, apples, orange juice, chocolate milk, pancakes, waffles, french toast, crepes, fresh fruit, breakfast casseroles, cinnamon rolls, mcdonald's breakfasts, toast, scrambled eggs... we get the picture.  Lately, I've been lovin' on oatmeal with fresh berries and chia seeds.  Our new super food!  Chia seeds are a staple of the ancient Aztecs and best known for the crazy amount of calcium, omega-3 fatty acids and dietary fiber.  The best part? They are tasteless. 

"Ch-ch-ch-ch-chia!"

the green drink.

I've fallen in love with green drinks.  I've made some really really delicious ones, and I've also made some really gross ones.  Today I tried a recipe from italktofood.  She calls it the Banana Bread Green Monster.  It called for almond flour, which I needed to get, as I had never even heard of it.  It was definitely different from any other green drink I've made, but I liked it.  Yay for green!
