Pain and Glory

Hey everyone! Hope youโ€™re having a wonderful day!

Zumba last night was pretty off the chizzle. I brought the Flip with me, but didnโ€™t get a chance to film- I was busy getting the stereo situation figured out. We have a new one โ€“Zumba ditchers, you can come back now, haha- and everything is bueno ๐Ÿ˜€

When I got back to the casa, I munched on some sticks and twigs outta the bag while catching up with my pilot love.

And then had a salad beast with salmon burger, goat gouda, Organicville balsamic, organic greens, tomatoes and bell pepper.

The pilot put his keys in the picture because he wanted yaโ€™ll to have a frame of reference for my salad beast bowl, just to make sure you know how hefty it is ๐Ÿ™‚ Iโ€™m not joking when it comes to my salad beasts- itโ€™s serious biznaz ๐Ÿ˜‰

I went to bed early as Iโ€™m 100 years old and still fighting this borderline sickness/ick. The plan for Saturday is to sleep until I wake up.. no alarm, nada. I canโ€™t wait ๐Ÿ˜‰

Before meeting the girls at the gym, I had a mini raw revolution bar and we did an hour of legs. Pain and glory, my friends ๐Ÿ˜€

Ooey Gooey Oat Bran

(It looks like an eye ball)

-1/3 cup oat bran

-1 smashed banana

-1/2 scoop vanilla Sun Warrior

-1 T raw cacao

-cinnamon and vanilla

-chocolate agave sauce

-raw almond butter

-foodgasms

It was so insanely delicious.

Next, I got to work on my clientโ€™s lunch for the day: roasted ratatouille wraps

I made the dough out of this:

And used flax eggs to veganize the mix (1 T flax mixed with 3 T water).

It came out beautifully:

After heating the wraps in a giant sautรฉ pan, I filled one with organic marinara, roasted eggplant, zucchini, tomato, shallot, fresh spinach and rosemary to take to my client.

They came out quite lovely, if I say so myself ๐Ÿ˜‰

I had to taste a plain wrap because they reminded me of homemade tortillas and therefore, my childhood.

In the movie Ratatouille, the food critic tastes the ratatouille and is whisked away into memories of his childhood. That was me eating that wrap ๐Ÿ˜€

After dropping off the lunch, I stopped to look for shoes for Saturday nightโ€™s dining out (no luck) and then stopped for a wheat grass, apple and ginger juice.

Something to read: THIS! Looks like the Jill-meister is getting sued for her phony diet pills (which we were just talking about!). I figured it was only a matter of time. โ€ฆMayjah thanks to all of the lovely readers who sent these articles to me!

    I saw that she was getting sued and screamed like a little girl, cause geez, it’s about time! sorry, i hate the woman; she’s a hypocrite to me!

    Oh oh oh! If u are starting a raw food online bakery type deal where we can order things count.me.in.

    I love the Sticks And Twigs. And your salad looks delish.

    It was definitely only a matter of time before she got sued. Diet pills don’t work! She should stick to her “healthy eating and working out” advice instead.

    are you writing a book? because i would like to pre-order it now, if so ๐Ÿ˜€

    To the poster above, my best friend I’ve had my entire life is named MAREN and I love her to death and I have NEVER met or heard her name anywhere else! I love it! People always mess up her name big time tho!

    I could’nt have been more excited you made wraps because lately I have been addicted to brown rice wraps for dinner..stuffed with just about anything but always with tons of salsa and hot sauce. Delish. Your’s looked great, I want to try making my own now.
