Mexican Pizza? Yes, Please.

Okay, team. SIX DAYS LEFT! That's it. Less than a week. We can totally do this.

This week has been much harder than the last three. I guess it's because I know I'm almost at the end and I'm getting tired of coming up with creative meal ideas. We're still rocking it though. No cheating...yet! (Just kidding, Katy...we're totally not going to cheat...)

The hardest part of the day is lunch. It doesn't matter if I come home or if I brave the cafeteria. Lunch = difficult. I've never been good at planning and/or making lunches. Ever. Maybe I should move back in with my mother?

Today I attempted salmon cakes at lunch. They were pretty good. Some fresh packets of salmon (like the non-canned tuna), lemon juice, red pepper flakes, basil, parsley, sea salt, gluten-free oats, and a few eggs to hold it all together. I cooked them for a few minutes on the stove and then ate them with a green apple. All in all, pretty delicious. I'm going to try a few more for lunch tomorrow. I'll keep you posted!

Tonight we enjoyed another creative, delicious dish: mexican pizza! We made our pizza crust with gluten-free Bisquick and I added some of our lifesaving jalapeno lime salt for extra flavor. Megan browned the organic beef and seasoned it with the seasoning from our solid gold Kroger find: organic taco kits! (A-mazing. Check it out.) Krista cut up a white onion, some green onions, some jalapenos, a fresh banana pepper, black olives, and bell peppers. As our base, we used the organic taco sauce (vinegar free, of course!) and some rotel. Even though we can't have cheese or sour cream, it was delicious! I think it was even better than the regular pizza we made last weekend. It might be part of our mexican fiesta we're preparing for next week's detox party. Which, again, you should all be attending!

After dinner, I headed over to Brian's to play with Grizz for a little bit. I'm on puppy child patrol this week (best babysitter ever), so we played and watched American Idol for a little bit. He's pretty much the cutest thing ever.

I'm really excited about our detox party and our detox celebration dinner the night after. Here's hoping I can make it these last few days. Fingers crossed!

Tornado! and Detox Party...Get Some!

Today's post is short and sweet. We're having a detox party on Tuesday, April 26. We're going to make delicious detox friendly food, tell you all about the detox and how you can get started, and sample some of the Arbonne skincare products. Woo! Megan's cousin (and mine too now that I'm an honorary cousin!), Katy, will be joining us along with an Arbonne rep to explain how much fun the detox is and to answer any questions. There's no pressure to buy anything, but you'll have the opportunity if you're so inclined. It will be our last day of detoxing and we want you to be there! Here's the cute invitation I just made:



If you need more info or you want to join us, you know where to find me!

In other quick news, we went for a run on the new Tucker Creek extension trail between Prince and Tyler and it was awesome. Check it out if you haven't had a chance. We followed the meal with a whirlwind of grocery shopping and a dinner of rice cakes with almond butter, fresh strawberries, blueberries, and half a green apple. OH! and some vanilla almond milk. Dinner of champions!

Hope to see you on Tuesday!
