"People like to say 'salsa'...

..."'Excuse me, do you have any salsa?' 'We need more salsa.' 'Where is the salsa? No salsa?'"


Seinfeld fan? If so, you'll remember that episode. And why is it relevant to this post? Because I have fresh, homemade, CLEAN salsa in my food processor. It's cooling and just waiting to be devoured. I did get a little taste in and not to toot my own horn but, toot toot, it's good! If you can't tell, I'm pretty excited! I'll be pairing that tonight with clean tortilla chips and clean quesadillas! I've got all my clean meals planned out for the next week and already made my chaotic fun trip to Kroger and Aldi to get all of my food. Aldi has yummy produce and it's cheaper than Kroger! I'll take any chance I can get to save some money. I'm not preparing too much food today because I should have plenty of leftovers from supper next week to provide my lunches. I'm looking forward to this next week. This week was rough. As you may know, I had the flu on Monday so eating in general just didn't happen. I felt so much better on Tuesday but my appetite just wasn't back in full swing. If fact, it didn't really make a comeback until today. I would get hungry and certain foods would sound good, but I'd get about five bites in and then I felt like I was having to force feed myself the rest. Not sure what was up with that. But today has been great! I had some toast with a little coconut oil, cinnamon, organic sugar, and flaxseed, yogurt with strawberries, and black coffee which I flavored myself with some cinnamon and vanilla for breakfast. Since I woke up late I didn't have a snack. For lunch I tried the new Berry Almond Chicken Salad from Wendy's. I got the pomegranate vinaigrette because the ingredients of it looked better than that the fat-free raspberry vinaigrette. And the salad was very yummy! Just a side note here, I LOVE when restaurants post their ingredients. Most places only give you nutritional facts which is great for some but does no good for those trying to eat clean. It really just irritates the crap out of me and makes me think, what do you have to hide? Maybe nothing. Maybe they're just too lazy to post it? I don't know. But I'm loving the places that do provide that information. Although I've discovered that salads are pretty much my only option at fast food restaurants. Another discovery: as long as the salad has chicken, the dressing is not necessary. Sure it tastes good on there, but that's usually where the junk is found. So if I can do without it that's great! I should probably wrap this up so I can get back into the kitchen. I have some blueberry-banana muffins and peanut butter chocolate chip cookies to make. All clean! I'll let you know how they turn out! Enjoy your day!
