What Did You Have For Lunch Today?

Recently I've been wanting to be a little more creative with my recipes. I love Ezekiel Tortillas toasted over the stove in a non stick skillet (Teflon free). I didn't start incorporating Collard Greens into my alkaline vegan diet until recently. So I decided to add them to my wraps and boy was it a good choice!

Here's the ingredients you'll need:

  • Ezikiel Tortillas, (buy them at a health food store, I haven't seen them at Vons. But yes at Trader Joe's and Sprouts)
  • Trader Joes Vegan Mayo or whatever mayo or sauce you choose
  • Collard greens, spicy sprouts, cherry tomatoes
  • Organic Salsa 
  • Red Onions (chopped), bell pepper (red or orange for more flavor)
  • Garbanzo beans
  • Grapeseed oil and spices

Vegan Wrap
First we want to get the Garbanzo bean saute going so it'll be ready for the last step:

In a small pot or skillet, warm up Grapeseed oil, saute red onions and bell pepper until soft and translucent, add your spices (I like to add sea salt, pepper, red pepper, garlic powder, basil, oregano), mix for another minute and then add garbanzo beans to the mix (you can use canned or freshly soaked and cooked beans). Mix everything together and saute another 2 minutes or until the garbanzo beans are a little toasty looking.

In a separate skillet heat up 1/2 tspn of grapeseed oil, place Ezekiel Tortilla in pan and sprinkle with sea salt and pepper for spiciness. Flip over after 1-2 mins and do that until soft and slightly toasted.

Place on a plate and spread vegan mayo over toasted tortilla (or swap for other green/vegan tortilla of your choice). Then add collard greens cleaned and rinsed, spicy sprouts (which I bought from a health food store), topped with an organic tomatillo green salsa and cherry tomatoes.

Pour the Garbanzo bean saute over the spicy sprouts, wrap up and enjoy. If there is a special hot sauce you like to use feel free to pour that over this recipe.

ENJOY!!  If you make this leave a comment and let me know how you like it

Women are Unique

Sometimes as women we go through changes that we can't explain, and we wonder if anyone else is also having the same issue. As I was reading USA Weekend I found some very interesting information for all the ladies out there...... Including myself! Now I know why =) As I do and I'm sure others do as well; I'm looking at my cell phone as I'm laying in bed before falling asleep. Well not anymore! ..... As women we need to wind down because bright lights can suppress the sleep hormone- Melatonin- which makes us more alert and a good night's rest is vital for us. What I do now is put my texts on silent and set my alarm before I get ready for bed. I won't look at it until the next morning and yes! I actually do feel more rested.   When we're tired or have low energy it usually has an effect on how we treat the ones that are closest to us. (our spouse for example) It triggers tension.  But what's interesting - when guys don't get adequate sleep it doesn...

The Post Work-Out

So yes! I do go out sometimes and like to have a good time. So for those of us that end up feeling a bit woozy the next day, sweating it out and getting your blood flowing is a great cure. This was my work-out yesterday: At Ballys =)     1. Stretch 2. 40 sit ups on the bench      3. The treadmill for 30 minutes. My goal here is to sweat. I was dreading doing cardio but this is the only way for me to cure my hangover. -  So I walked on incline (8.0) for five minutes - brought the inline down to 2.0 and jogged at speed of 5.4 for fifteen minutes. If was feeling pretty confident, so I raised the incline to 4.0 every five minutes or so and jogged at the same speed for one minute. Then brought it back down. So far that's 20 minutes total! Now for the next 10 minutes I did sprints. This is where I really break a sweat! I took the speed to 6.7 and sprinted until I was running out of breath - bring the speed back down a bit - rest - now sprint agai...
