Like most people, I did enjoy some good eating over the holidays. When B and I finally made it to Vegas we headed to Whole Foods for some Synergy and some yummy bran muffins.
We LOVE this stuff, you might know it as KOMBUCHA and it is so amazing. It helps with digestion since it is basically a fermented tea. I am not sure about all the scientific benefits os Kombucha if there are any, but I can tell you it is refreshing and makes you feel so much better, especially after 2 weeks of eating out and not doing my usual eating routine. It goes for about $3.50 a bottle which is a little too much for the profesora budget, that is why it is a treat for me. I am actually happy that the holidays are over so I can get back to eating well balanced meals. One of my favorite things to eat is smoked salmon over steamed brown rice or sushi rice. It is delish and a nice clean food. This past weeked, B and I made a yellow pepper, avocado, tomato concoction and it went sooo well with our salmon and rice. We added a little balsamic vinegar, tad of olive oil, and a bit of sea salt and TADA!! Don't you just love when you find another "go-to meal" ? As many of you know, la cocina and I are slowly becoming friends, and this meal is a fave because it involves very little prep, my kind of meal! What are your "go-to meals" or what is your latest yummy discovery?

Deliciousness Laura!! I love your 'go-to' meal... I need one of those. Mine is spaghetti from a jar, not exactly healthy right? :)
ReplyDeletePS. Thank you so much for joining the book club Laura! Excited to have a Profesora on board!! I've forwarded your address to Diana of our.city.lights who is busily putting together the mailing list. Can't wait to read your review!!
I recently heard about this drink - I'm on the hunt for it!
ReplyDeleteYour veggie dish sounds yummy. I'm slowly starting to enjoy salmon (fish in general). I will have to wait till I graduate to eat it smoked, it does look good. Enjoy! xo
ReplyDeleteI love seeing what your healthy food choices are. It's so inspiring. I steamed some swiss chard tonight myself and really liked it. Usually I steam spinach, so this was nice for a change. For a snack, I also love to get sliced cucumbers and sliced pineapple at the salad bar at whole foods.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Whole Foods, but we only have 1 in this part of Canada. It is in Toronto so I get to it every couple of months or so...also love your cadillac ranch...very cool pic of you and your other half!!
