I have been on a very good streak of eating healthy and going to the gym. I have even been able to squeeze into some old jeans that I dug out of the sealaura vault, hooray! On the whole, I don't have much trouble staying healthy, but I do have trouble staying on the exercise plan. So I thought I would post this tasty salad that I recently enjoyed as a motivator to stay fit and focused. Once you have a pretty image, place setting , plates, it is more inviting isn't it? Don't worry this is not all I eat. I have recently become a big fan of brown rice, barley and quinoa. I highly recommend these 3 grains* in case you haven't discovered them. I usually pair them with salmon/tuna and a good portion of a green veg and I am all set. Now, don't get too excited this profesora is not a cocinera/cook. But luckily the resident chef at the sealaura estate ( B) takes good care of me. Your turn : What are your go-to healthy snacks or meals?
I make a "veggie melt": pita stuffed with lettuce, fresh mushroom, sliced bell pepper and onion, black and green olives, a bit of salt and pepper, tomato...I wrap it in foil and bake in the toaster oven for like 15 mins (until the pita is crisping and the veggies are slightly soft), then add a little shredded cheddar and brown it til it melts, then eat with light dressing! So yummy! A local pizza place used to make and now I do at home!
