My Favorite Meal!

I can't even begin to tell you how great I feel after drinking my shake! But what I can tell you is this. In October I injured myself at work. I smashed my knee into the metal frame under the desk that holds the keyboard. For MONTHS I was in pain and I couldn't walk that great because of the pain. When a friend of mine introduced me to this and shared with me her neck pain from a sever car accident went away I had to try it. Let's be honest, even after I share this you may be skeptical, I was. But when I began drinking the shake the pain in my knee went away! I can run on it, jump up and down and do everything you are supposed to do with a knee and I'm no longer in pain! The only way to know if this works for you, is to give it a shot. If you want to know more comment below or send me a private message!

Spinach Cuc and Egg Salad

Please forgive me for not posting in a while. I have my wedding on my brain and we are 1.5 months away (50 days) from our wedding, so I have been VERY busy, but have NOT forgotten about you!

So to give you a quick run down of what has been happening. I am trying to maintain my weight so my wedding gown fits nicely. Nothing like walking down the isle and losing your dress, lol.

 Last night was the city of Old Town Alexandria, VA Birthday so most of the residents went down to the harbor and watched the beautiful display. A live orchestra was playing as the fireworks went into the air and showed the beauty that was right before our eyes! It was the perfect ending to the perfect most restful day I had in a while.

 Spinach Cuc and Egg Salad
2 hard boiled (brown eggs)
1 handful of spinach

Stuffed Zucchini & Squash

Today I wanted to do something with these two gourds that had for a week and I figured it was time to cook them. Also, I wanted something "Indian" like. I have a jar of spiced curry in my cabinet, but since I have been getting healthier and showing others how to do the same, I wanted to use what is in my kitchen.

Ingredients:

1 c. Long Grain Rice
1 c. Water
1 TBSP butter
2 TBSP Olive Oil
1 Round Zucchini
1 Round Squash
Salt
Pepper
Parsley Flakes
Curry
Turmeric
Almond/Coconut Milk
Onion
Mushrooms
Garlic

Directions:

The Rice I have requires to add 1 cup of rice and 1 cup of water. When the water comes to a boil, turn heat down to simmer and fluff simmer for 50 minutes. While the rice is simmering at minute 30, begin cutting the mushrooms, onion and garlic (If you haven't already done so), then cut the squash in half and remove the seeds. At 20 minutes left on the rice, add oil, onions, garlic, mushrooms, curry, turmeric, parsley flakes, almond/coconut milk, salt, and pepper into the skillet and put the squash and zucchini in the oven at 375 degrees. Stir the ingredients in the skillet until the ingredients in the pan are yellowish. When the rice is done cooking and sat for 10 minutes, add to the skillet and mix well, then add to the squash in the oven and cook for 10 more minutes. After 10 minutes pull out of the oven and allow to cool, then serve.
