Clean Eating Avocado Egg Salad Wraps

I love a good deviled egg. I thought I would not get to really enjoy those again, until now. I use avocado's in place of the mayo, combined with a little vinegar, salt, and pepper... it tastes the same. Works for mayo on and in everything. Only drawback is the color. But hey, I now can truly say I love me some green eggs... I'll still pass on the ham. 

This is the first day back off my cleanse. I lost 5.5lbs in 3 days and my husband lost 3.7lbs. I am feeling strong and good and am keeping this rolling with my exercise program and eating clean. I have a group called Hot for the Holidays going that helps me stay accountable. It is the best thing ever. If you ever want to join, all you have to do is ask. :)

So today I am making sure I eat right. So for lunch I made avocado egg salad lettuce wraps. I didn't take the time to make them look all cute. It was just for us, but dang it, it was so good and now you get a yuck picture. Sorry, I serve the food I share with you. This was SO SO SO SO good!!! If you are not watching your processed foods like I am, then feel free to enjoy on bread or in a wrap. It is so good. Can use the same ingredients to make killer deviled eggs too.

Clean Eating Avocado Egg Salad Wraps

Ingredients:
8 eggs, hard boiled
2 medium ripe avocados, peeled and large seeds removed
1/8 cup apple cider vinegar
Pink himalayan sea salt to taste
2 Tbsp yellow mustard
Romaine Lettuce Leaves

Directions:
Peel and dice hard boiled eggs. Combine in a big bowl with the flesh of your avocados. Add vinegar, salt, and mustard. Stir. 

Place 1/2 cup of the mix on a leaf and fold. 
Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Tangy Tastebuds Salad

Sorry for the horrible shot of this Salad. It really does not do it justice. This is quite simply the best salad I have had in a very long time. Unfortunately where I live it is getting dark really early and I actually eat the food ... hence the dark blurry photo. You will just have to trust me. 

On the last day of my cleanse. Feeling amazing. Eating stuff like this makes me not feel like I am cleansing at all. Love that we get to eat whole foods and real GOOD fats like Avocado. It is all about healing your body, not starving it. If you are interested in taking this cleanse, please email me and I will get you the details. 

Here is the recipe for this tangy delicious salad. Enjoy! 


Tangy Tastebuds Salad
1 Cucumber

2 Honeycrisp Apples
1 Organic Beefsteak Tomato
1 Avocado
1 tsp Pink Himalayan Salt, 
1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
Juice of one lime
1/4 cup cilantro diced *optional

Peel, core, and cube Cucumber, Apples, Tomato, and Avocado. You want them to all be cut a similar size. This makes them dance on your tastebuds. Trust me, don't skip making them cubes. Place all prepared produce in a large bowl. Top with salt, vinegar and lime juice. Top with Cilantro if desired. Stir together and serve. 

Store in an closed container in the fridge.

Clean Vegan Thai Ramen


The time has come again for me to do my 3 day cleanse. When I first did the cleanse it was much harder for me. Now it is so easy. I actually feel too full to finish my daily food portions. I love it because you get to eat real food. 

My choice of living consists of this: 
21 days of clean eating. It includes yummy desserts and foods I love. Then I go off clean eating for 4 days. I plan those days as my ladies nights, date nights, etc... I have cocktails and eat pretty much what I want, within reason. Then I start a 3 day cleanse to get out all the crap I put in the last 4 days. Then I start over. I love this lifestyle. I have a date that I know I will get to splurge and have fun, and I have a safe way to remove the sugars from my body. Being a Cancer survivor I am SO BLESSED to have found this product that allows me a little fun! 

My husband only cleanses about twice a year, and he struggles. He is a big eater and because of that, the cleanse is needed from time to time. So this time I was prepared with some of his favorite flavors. We are halfway done and he is feeling great. We had this for dinner last night and he at it also for lunch. It contains the veggies needed and your healthy fat. Totally cleanse safe and clean eating. We loved it and I would eat it on or off the cleanse any day of the week!

If you are interested in trying out this 3 day no exercise cleanse, email me and I will send you over all the info. It is Vegan, Organic, Non-gmo, whole food cleanse. 

The secret is in the red curry paste. 
Ingredients in it are: Red Chili, GarlicLemongrassGalangal (Thai Ginger), Salt, Onion, Kaffir Lime, Coriander, and Pepper.
 It is only 20 calories per serving and 100% cleanse safe! I do sometimes make my own, but since the kids have all moved out, this is SO much easier.

Thai Ramen
Serves 4

1 4oz jar thai kitchen red curry paste
1 13.66 ounce can of thai kitchen organic coconut milk
2 cups vegetable broth
2 Zucchini 
1 Tsp Pink Himalayan Sea Salt

Mixed veggies of choice, I used:
1 onion (sliced)
2 carrots (sliced)
10 mushrooms (sliced)
2 green peppers

Combine one 4 ounce jar of Thai Kitchen red curry paste with one can of thai kitchen organic coconut milk and 2 cups of vegetable broth and bring to a boil.

While bringing to a boil use your zoodle maker to make noodles out of your zucchini. These are very affordable tools you use to make noodles and I recommend every kitchen has one! This is what makes your clean yummy cleanse safe noodles! I peel my zucchini first, but you don't have to. 

Once your broth is at a boil, add your salt and chopped veggies (NOT THE ZOODLES!)
Bring back to a boil and stir constantly cooking for 5 minutes. 
Add in your zoodles for 30 seconds (just enough to heat the noodles) then divide between 4 bowls and serve immediately!!!

Salt and pepper to taste

Live your best life

you living the life you love? Or are you stuck living the the same day over and over? A year ago I took a chance. 
#Why ...
I was ready to commit to a healthier life.
#WhyNot  ...
 If I was going to commit to it, why not help others do the same? 

Little did I know this chance would lead to me finding some of the best friendships I could hope for, with amazing souls that love and accept me for who I am, freedom to live my #LifeByDesign  and hop on a plane, train, or automobile to check things off my #BucketList and to go love on my team mates that live on the opposite side of the U.S. from me. I have seen New Hampshire, Boston, Maine, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Philadelphia these past two weeks. 

This "job" does not require travel. It allows you to live your life by YOUR design because it can be done anywhere in the U.S. and Canada. So while I was having the time of my life I was still collecting my paychecks. So that leads me to:
#WhyNotYou  
What do you want to do with this precious gift of life? Why waste it in a cubicle or a dead end job? Maybe you want to be at home more with your babies? Maybe you want to see the world? Maybe you want more time with your love? Maybe you want to have more time at home? Maybe you want to buy a home? This #opportunity is open to anyone that is willing to help others and lead by example. 
It does not matter if you are overweight, skinny, or in between. We come in all sizes. You just have to be ready to commit to a healthier life, and help others do the same through ONLINE #Accountabilitywhich frees you up to go, do, be, anything you wish. 
Lastly...
#WhyNotNow  
What are you waiting for? What is holding you back from living the best life. #ItsYourTurn  if you are ready, email me at momwhatsfordinner@yahoo.com My team is waiting with open arms.

Healthy wine? Yes please!

Two wines... one yogi. 

I was sent two bottles of  FitVine Wine to try. One Chardonnay, and one Cabernet Sauvignon. 
With the help of my husband we dove in to try this new "healthy wine". I have to admit. I was expecting it to taste bad. I was mistaken. We started with an ice cold Chardonnay.  I actually went : "WOW!" when I took my first smell and taste. It was so refreshing. I don't usually reach for a Chardonnay so this really surprised me how much I loved it! I would love to put a case of that on our sailboat for our next trip! So good! 
Later in the evening we opened the Cabernet with our dinner. I enjoyed sipping it. It is one I could easily see myself buying on a regular basis. Not a wow factor like the white, but for the health benefits and the fact that it tastes far better than most affordable bottles out there. It gets two thumbs up.
The winner was definitely the Chardonnay though!

Did you know?...Not all wines are the same. Course Man had to come in and screw up another thing that actually used to be good for you in small amounts. Now many wines are have impurities, additives, coloring, extra sugar, high levels of arsenic and so on. The founders of FitVine Wine wanted to create wines that were made with the best processes and ingredients, without sacrificing taste or alcohol, and they did it! 

is a craft wine company, dedicated to making high quality wines for athletes by sourcing local, artisan, estate grown grapes. They have created a high quality wine that fits healthy lifestyles and tastes great!
Their proprietary blend delivers a high quality wine with higher antioxidants, no residual sugar and less sulfites.

Why FitVine Wine? 

If you want technical terms... here you go, straight from their site:"Resveratrol, polyphenols and proanthocyanidins are found in higher concentrations in grape skins from grapes grown in higher, cooler elevations. Resveratrol is a member of a group of plant compounds called polyphenols. These compounds are thought to have antioxidant properties, protecting the body against the kind of damage linked to increase risk for conditions such as cancer and heart disease. Resveratrol is found in the skin of the grape. Our wines can have up to 10x higher levels of Resveratrol than other wines.

Our grapes are grown in higher places such as here in the Sierra foothills above 2000′ elevation. Wines made from grapes from this area and elevation aid in the strength and concentration of beneficial compounds compared to warmer weather grapes. Our answer to this is a minimum of 10 day, extended whole cluster fermentation for maximum skin and seed contact."
