Smoothie boss

Smoothies every damn day

You know Cake Boss? Well I'm the Smoothie bosss!!

I think I owe most of my energy from my new lifestyle to my smoothies, they motivated me to eat healthier. 

Fruits are filled with natural sugar that are good for you and don't make you crash after an hour or two like other artificial sugars. I always make sure to add in a couple of super healthy good for you ingredients like chai or flax seeds,lemon juice, etc. you don't even notice them.I like to mix up the different kinds. 

Some of my favorite recipes include these key ingredients: 

• BANANAS-cannot have a proper smoothie without bananas they are the most important ingredient!!!!
• Strawberries
• Raspberries
• Sugar free yogurt
• Orange juice
• Blueberries
• Pineapple 
• Mango
• Peaches
• Flax seeds
• Chai seeds
• Lemons
• Lemon juice
• Ice/water
• Apples

The trick that I have found with smoothies is Less is More. If you try to add to many flavours all the good taste gets lost, your better off starting small with a few ingredients in each smoothie. They are the best to experiment with, go ahead try one yourself and tell me how it turned out!!

Restaurants vs.Home Cooking

RESTAURANTS Vs. AT HOME COOKING

If you are going out to eat at a restaurant you are going to have to be that annoying customers who asks a zillion questions about how the food is made and what goes into it. You end up asking for a lot considerations ex. without this or can that be cooked separately from everything else or with that on the side etc.

I barely eat out unless i have too because it is a huge pain in the ass but some places, like Swiss Chalet, East Side Marios, Boston Pizza,etc. have adaptations of Gluten free meals on their menu which taste amazing. But i do recommend cooking for yourself at home much more often. 
The benefits include: 

1. You will gain experience and learn new skills for cooking. 
2. You might actually like it and make it your new hobby!
3. You will know exactly what you are eating and hopefully where the ingredients are coming from. Which gives you a peace of mind that those who eat out all the time never have.
4. You will save TONS of money$$!

Honestly it is worth a shot just to be healthier. You will learn a lot going Gluten free, and a lot of what you learn will be positive; trust me:)

Microwave free

MICROWAVES AINT FOR ME

Microwave free is another lifestyle diet myself and my whole family have starting to get into. 

I have read up a lot on what microwaves actually do to your food and they change everything about your meal!

Pulled pork stripes with half of a medium rare steak with sides of
 Yukon gold potatoes(my personal favorite)
and loads of soft and juicy carrots.

By exposing your food to radiation and heat, it alters the very core of the molecules in the food. So by the time that you take out your food and eat it; it's not the same food anymore.

Microwaves competition looks a lot like this.
Use steam to heat up your food or to keep it warm for hours.

Best dinner I have had in awhile and that might be because of how it was heated up or how it was kept warm is what I should say.

My mom puts aside a plate for my because she is an angel and because they never know what time I will be home. 

But instead of having to hear it up like I have done my whole life my granny from Ireland just recently showed us a better way. 

1. Fill a pot with water and bring that water to a boil 
2. Then place plate of food on top of the pot almost like a lid.
3. Lastly place a lid on top of the plate of food to keep the heat being generated from the boiling water in and viola!
