Nom, nom, nom...It's Monday, I'm in Love

Two words....ALMOND MILK

I have had almond milk in the past, but this time it's different. Previously, we have actually made Almond milk before and it was fairly easy. My previous complaint of the past would be that it wasn't very thick or creamy, watery even. However, Silk's Almond Milk is quite creamy. I chose to buy it at the grocery store because it had less sugar than regular milk. Well, let me tell you Almond Milk in protein shakes is AMAZING!!! It's a little more expensive, but definitely worth it! 

If you haven't tried Almond Milk, I strongly suggest it! It comes in Plain, Vanilla, Chocolate, and Light flavors. I really like the Light flavor because it is creamy but not super flavored. Also, with the "flavors" comes more sugar..no thanks! Anyway, give it a try...you might just like it ;)

Tuesday's Love

Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead !This documentary is a riveting story about Joe Cross, a man suffering from obesity and an auto immune disease. Fed up with taking multiple prescriptions, he embarks on a juicing journey for 60 days. In his journey, he drinks juice made from micro-nutrient rich food.  He ends up loosing more than 70 pounds, going off his medicines, and inspiring many others along the way.  I found this documentary to be very motivating. I am learning that losing weight is much more than controlling what we eat but changing your lifestyle. If you are looking for an inspiring story to help keep you motivated in journey. Check it out! Love, love, love!

1001 Low Carb Recipes , My new cookbook! My husband and I discovered this treasure at our local book store. It's written by Dana Carpender and has tons of yummy recipes.  The recipes are divided by ingredient: poultry, fish, etc. The recipes are very easy and incredibly tasty! We made a chicken recipe and it only took about 20 minutes or so. My husband LOVED it!!! IF you are on the low carb diet, this book is a must! Variety is truly the key to success!!!

Saturday's Love

BOBBLE!This water bottle will literally change how you view all water bottles! I found this bottle at my local GNC for about ten dollars. Basically, it has a built in waterfilter that filters the water while you drink it.It's also made from recycled materials. For me, someone who is trying to increase the amount of water I drink, this is so convenient! No matter where I get my water from it is yummy! It also has a really simple design and is lightweight. It is small enough to fit right in my purse. The only complaint I might have is you have to be used to sort of pulling the water out, rather than it being poured out . However, I have found if you squeeze the bottle a bit it makes it much easier. I highly suggest buying one! Love, love, love!!!

Ugly Betty (ABC)! Yes, I maybe like two years too late. But, I  have fallen in love with the quirkiness of the show. I have been watching it on Netflix and am 8 episodes away from the series finally---I can't wait!!   Anyone who can appreciate a great quirky comedy/drama will love this show! I find myself constantly rooting for all of the characters! Love, love, love!!
