A salad a day keeps the doctor away!

wow, i am seriously sucking at taking pictures of my food lately, i'll be sure to remedy this tomorrow but as for tonight you lovelies are left with only one pic (so i tried to make it large for ya!) it's my tasty antioxidant salad, from The Healthy Skin Diet. It's probably one of my favorite salad combos & it's so good for you i love it! The author of the book Karen Fischer is amazing, she's one of my idols!
I also tried the Chai Bumble Bar today & loved it! So chai-ey & delicious, not too nutty and i loved the little cornflake-y bits that popped up every now and then. It was pretty filling too, it left me very satisfied.
Tomorrow i think i'm gonna have a little bit of a cooking day so i can freeze some stuff for the rest of the week, so that should be fun.
Oh and today i went with my sis to watch bride wars which was surprisingly funnier than i expected
p.s oh she glows has a great giveaway on, but hurry cause it closes tomorrow!!!
okay i'l see you all tomorrow
peace

lots of veggies in a quick post

here's an uber-quick post i'm off to watch a movie with the fam:
today i served so many rude customers, i swear there was something in the water everyone was mad like all day! But anyway onto a more pleasant subject- food!!
Lunch was a salad of lettuce, sweet potato, corn & edamames very delicious!
Then dinner was some yummy mushrooms stuffed with spinach, grated carrot, tvp & vegan Parmesan and broccoli on the side.

Running Day 1: quick jog/walk combo, only 25mins & like 3kms, i didn't get bored at all i listed to an audio book it was fun then on my way up the hill i blasted the volume on my mp3 listening to the Rocky theme song it was so kewl!

Love you all loads, stay cool :)

Sweet Mushrooms..mmm..

I'm lovin my whole frozen stuff at breakfast at the moment, so today I whipped up another frozen treat. It's soaked cashews and dates blended with a little vanilla essence, a splash of maple syrup and a frozen banana. Yummo, it was more of a dessert really but still uber-good for brekkie.

After a long work day (!) i had a small salad with baby spinach, mung beans, sweet potato & flavored tofu and topped with my delicious mango chutney.

I spent the morning making the mango chutney & boy it is so good. I use to think chutneys looked disgusting but I am such a changed girl, now I'm obsessed!! I could eat jars of this thing seriously

Anyways I was extra hungry after my small salad so I had some more of my bliss balls from the other day, they were still good.
That day mum had picked up some extra large mushrooms, I'm talking about monster, mutant mushrooms they were huge and oh so delicious. I grilled them after filling them with a sweet potato mixture and some more mango chutney!! It was pretty good though the sweet potato kind of overpowered my beloved mushroom.

I was seriously craving some cold goodness after dinner and opened my freezer, to my relief finding some forward thinking genius (thanks mum!) had purchased some vanilla soy ice-cream, I then proceeded to eat a large bowl.
The name doesn't lie it's so good!
Peace.

Christmas, New Years and Nuggets all rolled into one neat package

I've had a blog break since just before Christmas cause I've been super busy and up at the Sunshine Coast (that's not where I live) visiting rellies. anyway i'm back and ready to post about my food eatin again!

By the way loved everyone's christmas posts I read so many and they were really great, I'd love to live in the States just to have a traditional white christmas with snow and sledding and ice skating and all that jazz. Down here it has been sweltering hot like everyday! Anyway enough with my complaining here is some food....














This is a delicious antioxidant salad from the Healthy Skin Diet, it's got baby spinach, grated carrot, grated apple, raisins, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds and a tasty apple cider vinegar/ mango chutney dressing which complements the sweetness of the salad oh so nicely. On the side I had nutty nuggets from this really cool cookbook called BJ's Yummy Vegan Recipes, I bought it from this little vegan restaurant I discovered which serves the most amazing adzuki bean patties and vegan ice-cream, anyway back to the point the nuggets were delicious!















Later on that day I tried an organic food bar called Active greens, which was okay but nothing too special anyway hope everyones new years were great
talk to you soon
