Do you have iTunes?

If you do…I would love to have you join me over on MY NEW PODCAST to begin September 1st! (2018)

Here is the link and I would be completely honored to have you as one of my followers there as well! I am doing daily talks about everything kindness related. From taking care of ourselves to giving kindness to others.

I look forward to seeing you over there!!

365 Days of Kindness Podcast (iTunes)

Smoothies for ALL!

It is just too hot to cook. It is even too hot to BBQ!

juices

So here is my solution to these 99 degree days…and nights! Sheesh, I am not even kidding you. For some reason, the portable AC units are cancelling one another out so I can either run the one in our bedroom, or the one in the main area of the house…but not both. Last night, both the dog and I were panting. I am glad our week is going to see cooler temps starting tomorrow. Come on mid 80’s, which is still too hot for this fat suit. I am most comfortable at 75 to maybe 80 degrees. Anything above or below that and I am sharing my thoughts! (And it isn’t pretty.)

Anyway, these are my favorite hydrating no fuss smoothies. Add as much or as little as you like of the ingredients and add some ice. Or, simply add the ice to the blender if you are enjoying them right away.

Until next time, drink healthy and stay hydrated!

It’s mostly adventure, but some food talk

So, my amazing husband of 20 plus years has asked me to be part of his podcast! Now, this is probably one of the coolest and most intimidating things I have ever done in my life…which may tell you just how boring my life is!! Honestly though, he is the adventurous one in our relationship.

So, I have been working on setting him up a podcast account over on iTunes and a Patreon page as well. I am going to be on air with him and really helping him edit and create the content. Now, it is going to be MOSTLY about his adventures on dirt bikes, and vacations we take…but you know as well as I do we are totally going to sneak a convo in there about food!! (We talk a lot about food anyway.)

I also imagine we will be talking about our own vacation adventures and since we will be drinking during the podcast (beer) it may get super interesting to say the least. Anyway, what I am trying to say is, I would love to have you join us on Patreon and of course on the podcast!

If you become a patron ($2 a month to join my Team Safety Sally) please comment below and I will absolutely thank you on the FIRST EVER PODCAST!!

You can join any other team as well and I will still say your name on the podcast… 🙂 You will get all the free stuff as well! (There’s quite a bit of cool stuff! Plus, I print all of the T-shirts!!)

Thanks guys! Until next time, eat well and have epic adventures!!

July 9-15, 2018 (Meals)

There is something magical about eating all of these wonderful plant-based foods. I cannot even begin to imagine going back to where we were only a short time ago. (Thirty-one days, to be exact!)

You can see the recipes for the photos above over on Pinterest by clicking here.

I do hope you find something that will inspire you to try one of them this week with your family. Oh! Quick tip: purchase the FIRM Tofu and dry it well with a paper towel prior to cooking. You want it as dry as possible…it helps make a crispy end product!

Happy health,
April

Meal Plan: July 16-22, 2018

Spaghetti squash chow mein
Corn Chowder (vegan)
Mushroom and broccoli stir fry

So, I lied! I said in my post that I would be eating RAW VEGAN while Wes was on vacation. Instead, I saw all of these gorgeous meals on Pinterest and I wanted to try them. And since I am “single” this week, I can do whatever the heck I want. 🙂  Continue reading Meal Plan: July 16-22, 2018

Watermelon and Mint Smoothie

IMG-3934

This is a HUGE favorite right now! Temperatures here in the Pacific Northwest are near 100 degrees and this smoothie really hydrates. Simply cube the watermelon, add it to

your blender, add a cup or so of water and a mint leaf. Blend until smooth and enjoy over ice. You could also add the ice to the blender prior to blending.

Cool and refreshing!!!
Enjoy,
A
