Me and Mr. Jones

I want to take a minute to talk about my man. I love him.  He's so amazing. He is my rock. He keeps me in check. He doesn't let me take myself too seriously.  This month we make 8 years married.  He said we should have another wedding so we can receive gifts lol.  He try's to act hard but I see him looking at me.  Always clowning  Sigh...  I love that he dances! Cumbia, Tejano, Salsa/Merengue...anything.  How trashy am I. The shoes came off!  Yeah...idk lol  Lol  Get it get it!  Dancing machines  We had so much fun at Rebecca and Bernard's wedding. 

Meatless Monday: Smoothies and Bok Choy

Today I realized I only have like 2 days left of school! So excited. I'm studying disease and sanitation. I need to practice the practical. After clocking out today I only have 10 hours left. Yay!  Blackberry strawberry smoothie w coconut milk.  Went running today after school w Stella. That was a challenge. But we got it done.  Slightly annoyed that it didn't pick up the gps. Hater.  After the run I made Pokey and I a strawberry spinach smoothie. Yum.  Pokey is making himself jerk chicken and he is making me bok choy. Sigh. I love him. 

Ramirez Yin Wedding

This had to be the most beautiful, whimsical, romantic wedding I've been to. Maybe because she is our "baby" sister that if feels so special but it was beautiful.  The church was so busy that we didn't have a room to dress Rebecca. We used a back restroom lol. Notice the flowers? A lot more where that came from.  Pokey and I were the Padrinos for the lasso. A lasso is two rosaries combined as one. When you place it on the couple you are surrounding them in prayer. I love it. Very special.  The wedding was beautiful. My cousin Kat say next to me and cried from the start which ofcourse caused me to cry too. Everything was so beautiful. The ceremony. The readings. Everything.  Rebecca just had Rachel as her wedding party. She was the matron of honor. All of us are her special girls. Sisters, in law and cousins.  With the siblings and the best man  Have I mentioned lately how much I love this man? Sigh...I do.  Angie...she wears pregnancy well. She have birth to her 6th c

Makeup and mimosas

Rebecca is getting married! She is the last of all of us kids to get married. She is 37 so technically she isn't a kid but you know what I mean. I started makeup at 6:30am! It was a beautiful wedding. 

Kale smoothie

I love my ninja. I use this everyday.  1 mango 1c kale (I used baby kale)  1/2c frozen peaches 1 orange  4c vanilla almond milk  Blend and enjoy.  Green is my favorite color. 

Smoothies

I literally drink a smoothie at least once a day. This day I made spinach, banana almond milk smoothie and the metal lid I added dates. 

Broccoli "rice" and cheese

Sometimes you want comforting food. This day was one of those days.  I love broccoli rice and cheese. I try to stay away from rice. I used cauliflower instead. I used the ninja to chop everything up.  1 bunch of broccoli 1 head of cauliflower  Sauté w salt and pepper.  Cheese sauce 1c almond milk (plain) 6 tbs nutritional yeast 1 tbs of non butter Garlic powder to taste Onion powder to taste Salt/paper to taste  Put milk in a sauce pan and add the ingredients until smooth. Pour on the broccoli and cauliflower. Enjoy! 

Whole wheat crust pizza

I was craving pizza. I didn't want anything enriched. I found a whole wheat flour and made one large tortilla lol.  For toppings I used tvp, spinach, mushrooms, garlic, tomatoes and vegan mozzarella. It was so good. I love pizza 

Spinach and Shirataki Noodles

This has to be one of the easiest dinners. I make it for dinner and lunch the next day. I sautéed spinach w garlic and used shirataki noodles. They are so good for you. I will not eat another pasta if I'm cooking it. If I'm at a restaurant....maybe but not in the house. 

Chocolate Mousse

Let me star by saying AMAZING!!  I put avocados in the ninja with coco powder, agave and Mexican vanilla  It came out like this!  So easy to make. Took all of 5 minutes from start to finish. I used a lot of avocados because I didn't know if they were going bad or not. The coco powder and agave I ended up adding more to tase. So delish  5 avocados 1/3c agave  1/3 c coco powder  1tsp Mexican vanilla  Blend and chill for a while. I are it right then and there. It was so good. 

Running for weight loss

This app has helped me learn to run. It's also helpful to lose weight. Win win in my eyes lol. I'm on week 3 day 2. I'm doing this tonight.  Definitely doing this outside it's harder but I notice I go further mileage wise then I do on a treadmill. Inside it's more controlled. To run outside is so different. It feels good. Hurts. Buts feels great.  Friday I went outside to run and it was awesome! The weather had been ugly so I haven't been able to run outside. Either way I get a good sweat.  Last weekend Myrian ran with me. She is trying out for cheerleader and she is building her endurance up w me.  I sweat inside too so it's ok. I just like to see my mileage up.  I need new running shoes. I need to go to Lukes locker but they close so "early" (7pm) I'm still in school and I want to finish. I don't have the time to go. I'm in school till 7pm.
