Never were words more true! Yeesh. That city- wow. Is amazing and crazy and fun, and exciting and fast and non stop and etc etc etc. Whewwww. It's like a speed race there. For everything. But gaaahhh lee, I loved it. Not gonna lie. I'm a pretty open minded person when it comes to living situations. Due to the fact, I was born in Wisconsin, then moved to Georgia at age 1, raised there- moved to L.a. when I was 18, lived in about 7 or 8 different living situations/apartments. Yadada yadada yada. ;) So NYC just looked like another amazing spot to gain some experience. I also have dreams of one day living in Europe, as well as San Fran. Otherwise, L.a. is my base camp. I have to be here for the career path I have chosen, which is totally ok. But I will travel any and everywhere I can on the chances I get to go visit somewhere else. I LOVE seeing the way others live life. We are just so small in this world. L.a. is merely a spec on the map. But here it is- a few photos of what I saw in NYC.
So after eating all that really great food and yummy Beer, and wine... and mehhhh a lot, anyway. I came home ready to try some of my food again! So I've been on a serious health kick since then. Believe me! I have no interest in eating bad food really- ever. But when there isn't that much options around you, a girls gotta eat. So I did- even the truffle oil Mac N cheese. Haha. But now were back to vegan burgers and green drinks! Which of course, I love. I actually miss eating healthy, when I can't. I try so hard to in places when it's really hard, but ya know. I do my best, and thats all that matters. My mind is always right. I'll never fall back to the bad part of when I used to live unhealthy, that past- is way behind me. Believe me. And for that- I'm very proud! So I went to the store when I got home, got fresh fruit, ezekiel bread, veggies, kombucha. All the things I missed very much! Feeling much better now, thank you :)
My Yummy take on a burger. Black beans pureed. Cilantro. Red onion. Avocado. Sprouts. Ezekiel Bun. Cashew Cheeze.
My yummy pesto pasta. Almond Pesto, Kamut Pasta, Steamed Mushrooms and Kale. Topped with Cashew Cheeze. :Pesto recipe at bottom
My own version of my work's 'I am Guapa" Sandwich. I make my own cashew cheeze, and pureed my own Black Beans, added avocado and red onion. And Cafe G's coconut bacon. So good!
Almond Pesto!
1/2 cup basil
1 cup spinach
3-4 garlic cloves
3 grinds of pink sea salt
black pepper
2 tbsp of lemon juice
1 cup sliced almonds or 1 cup hemp seeds
add about 1/4 cup water in, to get creamy, add little more if needed, make sure you don't add to much
though, it will get watery, add 1/2 of 1/4 cup first, check consistency. Keep checking when you add it in.
Should be a thick creamy consistency. :)
