What I Ate plus Cats!

I always read about eating simple carbs after a workout on Bianca's blog, so yesterday I did a pretty hard cardio workout with lots of burpees(why). I had some leftover coconut rice so I made a little sushi bowl with some wasabi seaweed snacks and a perfect avocado. This really hit the spot!

I found this in the bottom of a drawer so I had a cup after breakfast. Just the right amount of heat. Perfect with a splash of coconut milk!

I picked up some oranges on clearance so I've been enjoying orange, carrot and ginger juice. It's been unusually grey and dreary this winter. I've already been fighting with my depression, and the grey is not helping. I find the cheerful color and the zip of vitamins from this juice give me a little pep.

I made more beans and rice for dinner! I told you I loved this recipe! This time I added some jalapeno for heat and turmeric for health. I like to follow a recipe just the way it is once, and then I add my little adjustments! The small amount of turmeric I added really made it a nice color! Here is the original recipe I used. I just sub coconut oil for the butter. I really can't say enough about this simple dish. It's a simple, budget dish that packs a flavor punch. It's better than rice and beans I've had at restaurants.

It's a very rare moment when I catch Joan choosing to cuddle someone. She's my little introvert, and usually it's Kiki forcing the cuddle! Happy Caturday!
