How To Clean Your Produce
Thursday, May 24, 2018
The most asked question I get over on instagram is how I clean my produce. Every time I come home with fresh produce I wash it before I even put it in the fridge. Between germs, dirt, pesticides, bugs, etc you never know what is on the food. Even just because something is labeled organic doesn't mean something didn't get on it in the store, during processing, or during shipment. I would rather be safe than sorry. Any produce, fruits and veggies, that we eat the outside gets washed. (lemons get washed before a slice goes in my water peel and all) After I clean the produce I also prep it for the week ahead. This makes for easier grab and go snacks, dinner making quicker, less waste and less excuses. Plus it only takes me like 10 additional minutes. BONUS: my produce actually last longer.
How to Clean Your Produce
Ingredients:
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
2 drops of thieves essential oil
water
Directions:
1- Fill cleaned kitchen sink half way with cold to luke warm water. Add 1/2 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of thieves essential oil.
2- Add produce. Let sit for 2-3 minutes. Stir produce so all sides get washed. Let sit for another 2-3 minutes. (feel free to let it sit longer)
3- Drain sink. Rinse produce for a good 30 seconds with cold water.
4- Dry produce thoroughly with a kitchen towel.
5- Store in an air tight container (not the package it came in) or the drawer in the fridge or a bowl on the container depending on what the produce is.
Thank you for stopping by!!!!! If you are new here,

Clean Eating Travel Tips
Thursday, April 12, 2018
Last week our family went on a mini road trip, today Brian and I are leaving for an adults only vacation, and we have a few trips planned this summer. Staying on track with your health and nutrition can make or break your vacation. I have to admit we didn't prepare very well for our mini road trip last week and it turned to bite us in the butt. It took me a good three days to get my stomach back under control from eating to much crap and that was just from 2 days.
Now I am not saying you can't enjoy yourself while on vacation but should there is a difference between enjoying yourself and over indulging, which is what I did.
Here are some Clean Eating Travel Tips:
1- Pack healthy snacks
2- Always have water handy
3- Go easy on the alcohol
4- Make healthy choices for 2 meals a day
5- Eat when your hungry, don't over eat.
6- Plan ahead as much as possible
7- Don't skip your workout
8- Chew gum
9- Drink lots of water
10- Have fun!!!!!
Saturday Randomness, Holiday Weekend Healthy Tips
Saturday, May 27, 2017
I haven't done a Saturday Randomness in a while. I have so many fun memories I could post, here are a few.
One of our Mother/Daughter day dates we both wore our Minnie Mouse hats. I have been wearing my hat more and more.
Ella offered to vacuum the other day. I couldnt' say No.
Last week my back was bothering me and Austin decided to put his lunch in his hair. Ella decided she was going to help me give him a bath. She then told me to go away and did it all by herself. She is such a little mini-mommy.
She will always be my mini-me. Stealing my shake while at preschool drop off.
A few weeks ago we were are BJ's and I found this huge Mickey Mouse on clearance after Easter. I put it in the cart next to him. I was going to buy it but he deiced to throw it on the ground 3 times so I changed my mind.
Last weekend Girls Night In. Love my girls for a good fun laugh.
I have an obsession. We went to two different stores to buy these. They were on sale buy 1 get 1 free. I was originally looking for the Snow White flag, but our stores didn't have any.
Red Nose Day
Everyone loves my boots. Who doesn't love cutting the "grass" while wearing mommy's boots.
Hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday weekend. Here are a few tips to staying on track with your health and fitness while enjoying your weekend and holiday parties.
1- DON'T use the weekend as your rest day. Instead get your workout done early, and get your blood flowing. You're more likely to make healither choices.
2- Drinks lots of water, and limit alcohol. Water will not only keep you hydrated, keeps you fuller longer. Plus you won't feel as bloated and don't have to worry about having a hangover.
3- Have a plan. Plan on only having a cheat meal, not a whole cheat day. Eat balanced healthy meals before and/or after your get together.
4- You don't have to to eat everything. Try a few bits of a few things. Don't over stuff your plate. Focus on fruits, veggies, and lean protein when possible. Limit dessert to 1 small piece.
