Garden Explosion Lunch Time

Its Monday and I just ate lunch out of my garden.  Salad greens, yellow squash for a baked casserole and I harvested 2 handfuls of blueberries to make a smoothie.  My garden is exploding and my dreams have come true.  I just love getting to go outside and harvest food from my food gardens instead of having to go down aisle 12 at the grocery store to get my meals.   Just love it….

Diggin My Vitamix

Vitamix 5200

Yes folks I have made numerous smoothies and soups with my new blender.  I have had my Vitamix 5200 for over a month and have used it a ton already.  This thing is so powerful that it could probably blend a rock, but I am not going to try that.  Ha ha.  Well folks if you need a nice blender I recommend this one.  I got a good deal on this, its a reconditioned one with a 7 year warranty.  Comment me if you need more info or if you need recipes on smoothies.  Much Love Folks…

Chia Seeds Smoothie Shape Up

I have been home 4 days now from my long tour with Snake Oil Medicine Show and I have been busting a move on burning the tour pounds and rejuvenating my organs.  Sitting in the van for long drives and eating chips and dark chocolate made me decide to bust a move when I got home and dang it I have been rocking it.  I feel good.  Smoothies every morning and working out like a champ is my routine.  I recently discovered chia seeds and I  have been putting them  in my green smoothies in the morning and that is giving me so much stamina in my work outs.  Gives me the extra natural kick that I need.  Chis seeds are amazing stuff.

I am in love with smoothies and chia seeds
