Happy Day 6... To A New You!

What a beautiful day is SF!
I hope everyone else got to enjoy the sunshine!
After a wonderful afternoon spent in the park with a few of my best friends (since middle school!) I realized I don't do this nearly enough.
It is so easy to get caught up in our crazy hectic lives and forget to stop, relax, take a "time out" and breeeeeath.

Today's Tip:
How to find your zen... everyday



And don't forget to SCROLL DOWN to TODAY'S RECIPES!


A to ZEN

B believe in yourself and take a deep breath
C candles and bubble baths
D dress up and don't give up
E eat your veggies and your cake too
F family and friends are treasures

H hug more

J judge success by your goals accomplished
K keep your head up and carry on
L laugh and have fun
M meditate and make love often, preferably not at the same time :)

T take your lunch outside, enjoy fresh air and sun

Breakfast:
Chia-Chata
Oatmeal Horchata with Chia Seeds
Another great example of something you can make ahead and just add the almond milk before enjoying.
I just made this up, don't be technical with the quantities, do what tastes good to you.  You can't go wrong here. Combine oats, cinnamon and chia seeds.  Combine almond milk and vanilla to taste.  Mix wet and dry together.

Lunch:
We picked up snacks at a neighborhood store
Veggies and Hummus.  Fruit, manchego and wine
Vanessa made a great spinach salad with chickpeas, tomatoes and kalamatas

Dinner:
Thai Green Curry and Shrimp
5 minutes to a beautiful dinner
Cook shrimp and curry paste for a couple minutes then add almond milk
Bring to a simmer.  Add cabbage, carrots, bok choy and spinach.  Simmer covered for 2 minutes.


Taking my own advice:
After the park I caught the last couple hours of sun on my roof with Women, Work and the Art of Savoir Faire

Writing this with candles and wine

What tomorrow will look like!

She kept crawling in for our lunch!

Alex is beautiful on the outside and inside!
