Sunshine Sundays

by Nicci on 09/06/2009

”I think I’ll go for a walk outside now
the summer suns callin my name
(i hear ya now)
i just can’t stay inside all day
i gotta get out get me some of those rays
every body’s smilin
sunshine day”

I watched the Brady Bunch movie last night before going out to my friends place.

I made a quick plate of okra fries, carrots & a salmon burger patty.

The okra fries were tossed in olive oil, S&P and heated at 400 for 25 minutes.

I saw that Meghann, Pam were making these delicious fries, so I had to try them. I love fried Okra so I knew these fries had to be good.  Now I have a new healthier way to eat okra!!


Friends get together was fun…I had 4 drinks, 3 too many and 3Am french toast.  Obviously nobody could drive so my friends fiance made french toast for the girls and eggs for the guys.

Early morning eating was not on the agenda, but we all know how that goes with drinking.

So  moving on to lunch today….

Yummy Okra fries &  over cooked :( Turkey dogs…still it was good

This Moroccan Mint Tea tasted great, I’ll have to pick up more on my next trip to Sprouts!


OMG! So much for SUNSHINE, rain just poured down out of nowhere!  It was just sunny when I wen to check the mail 30 minutes ago.

Wait…it stopped!! 5 minute rain is so funny to me.


Enjoy your Sunday!!

Omega-3 Yummy

by Nicci on 09/02/2009

Go Rangers!!  Watching baseball with Chris tonight during dinner!

I was so ready to go home & start cooking right after work so I could sit back and relax.  I was thinking all day what I could cook and  dip into my yummy spinach hummus!

Dinner was simply delightful but Chris was not too keen on green hummus so he skipped out & went w/ making salmon burgers.  One day I think he’ll want to try my tasty hummus!

Now, I’m flipping through ”Next Top Model” and Rangers game!

Chris went to watch TV in the other room, my channel flipping is too much for him.  He did confuse me by watching Rangers game and flipping to Boston game earlier. :)


Do you know the health benefits of salmon?

Salmon is low in calories and saturated fat, yet high in protein, and a unique type of health-promoting fat, the omega-3 essential fatty acids. As their name implies, essential fatty acids are essential for human health but because they cannot be made by the body, they must be obtained from foods. Fish contain a type of essential fatty acid called the omega-3 fatty acids.

Holy Yum!

Tomorrow is my first day of Vegan Challenge, I’m joining Lindsey to eat Vegan for the month.  I’m only doing Thursdays every week. Give me a chance to explore and try new recipes!  Wish me luck

Clean Plate Club

by Nicci on 08/23/2009

I started my morning off sleeping in and on purpose.  This girl didn’t get to bed till after 1am.  I woke up and had a large banana and did a workout.  I was pumped up for 45 minutes of The Firm:Total Body Crunch & got to moving my booty.

Sea Salmon Saturdays said the Sea Man by the Sea shore!

Now try saying that 10 times really super fast! I’m just in a dorky mood tonight, sorry guys.  For some reason after doing laundry with Chris I got a sudden burst of energy, out of nowhere.  I went crazy in the produce dept. at our local grocery store and was about to have a ‘‘foodgasm” in the dairy.  Finally Oikos is on the shelf again at the grocer I like, b/c it’s usually cheaper there!  So, tonight I give you the delicious Salmon burger I made for the boyfriend and myself with corn on the side.

I’m logging off now to watch HgTv (slight obsessed with) and read the two new mags I picked up tonight.  Alicia Silverstone on the cover; I love that Vegan Girl too. Looking forward to read up on her and check out new exercises in Fitness Mag.
