Vacation is over--Time to detox
Oh man, what a wonderful vacation my husband and I had in Costa Rica to celebrate our upcoming 20th anniversary and my upcoming *cough* 40th birthday *cough*.
I feel so blessed to have my health and fitness to have been able to hike up and down Costa Rica. I did indulge and I feel that I need to clean up and get back on track.
What better way that to join this six week challenge below. It started on May 1st but there is still time to join. Why not join me? I'm excited about this and I've got my big smoothie jug ready for tomorrow. I love the wonderful advise that both Teresa and the Green Smoothie Queen have provided in the past and the two of them together should be fabulous.

healing with the angels cards
ok so i'm still new to EFT and i really need to look for my handout again because i NEED to get back on that train
but another thing i find that helps me before i go to sleep is my healing with the angels cards.
it a deck of beautiful cards and each has a different word
i shuffle, pick three then read the description for each
they are all positive and they remind me that i'm loved and that all is well
ahhhh they're like a breathe of fresh air
what do you do to help settle your mind before bed?

memories of safety harbor hummus
or really you can call this artichoke and spinach hummus
i haven't really eaten much of any spinach and artichoke dips because this became popular after i started eat to live and gave up dairy...most are laden with cheese and icky stuff that makes me cringe so i think i may have taken a little taste of one once but didn't ever think that you could make a hummus with spinach and artichoke
after many years i find myself in safety harbor florida for the t-tapp retreat and my wonderful room-mate and fellow t-tapp trainer jen had stocked the fridge we had by accident with lots of fresh fruit and veggies in addition to an artichoke and spinach hummus
wow...was i amazed at how good it tasted...we ate it with fresh veggies and were actually the envy of some who saw us walk into a meeting with a plate full of cruditees and this awesome hummus.
i left the retreat and knew that i needed to make up my own version with no added oil or added salt...i'm a eat to live groupie or nutritarian...are you surprised?
well i finally got around to it and as promised in my previous post, here is the recipe...
artichoke and spinach hummus
3 cups chick peas, cooked
half a pkg of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed well
2 gloves of garlic
juice of one lemon
1 14 oz can of artichoke hearts, rinsed and drained
1/4c water to get 'er going
i threw this all into the vitamix and blended until it was pureed. if you prefer it a bit chunky then pureed the chickpeas, garlic,lemon juice and water first then add the artichokes and spinach and blend to the desired consistency
awesome and oh so tasty
i gave my husband a bit to taste and he said i should probably hide it because my older son will be more than willing to help me eat it all up
this is my new favourite hummus
