The Big Move!

I finally decided to make the big move to Wordpress! I’m so excited about this! You can now find me on there! Come check me out at http://www.healthyhighschooler.wordpress.com!

Trying it Out Myself

  Last night, as I mentioned, I tried making a Raspberry Vinaigrette  recipe that I saw on the Today Show. What ended up happening however, was I ended up just mixing ingredients  until it tasted perfect :) First thing in the blender were some raspberries. Probably about 1 cup. Then I added 3 tsp. Sesame Seed oil, followed by equal parts of honey, and red wine vinegar. Add a little salt and pepper, and Voila! yumminess!  

For breakfast this morning i made a bowl of Harris Teeter brand Apple Cinnamon oatmeal, with some toppings of Craisons, Bear Naked granola. Simple,quick and easy, because I have to get going this morning. I’m off to go get schedule changes at my school. ughh.

Tortilla Soup!

Tonight I made Mama Pea’s Tortilla Soup! Can you say yummmmmm? Oh my goodness, it was so good. Thanks Mama Pea for yet another fabulous meal! Other meals from Mama Pea that I have made are her Sesame Lime Sweet Potato Fries with Creamy Hoison Sauce, and her Sloppy Josephine's!  

 

Can’t wait until the new Teen Mom tonight! Any of you Teen Mom fans?!

I’m off to go try to make a Dressing recipe I saw on the Today Show. I’ll let you know how it goes!

Windows Live Writer!

After hearing about it from so many other bloggers, I finally decided to start using Windows Live Writer! So far I REALLY like it! I’m going to try to update the blog more, and really get back into blogging. I love reading blogs, and so It’s time to get into my own little blog- groove :)

My summer so far has been really fun! Filled with tons of friend time, exercising, and fresh fruits and veggies. One of the things I love most about summer is all of the fresh food available! 

Have any of you heard about the Asheville Vegfest? I was DYING to go, but I just found out I won’t be able to because I had already agreed to go on my Youth Group’s Rafting trip to Tennessee :( Check them out though, because it seems totally awesome!

Happy Tuesday!

A Very Colorful Meal

I've decided that since my main passion for blogging is just taking pictures, from now on I may write every now and then, but for now, my blog will just be a collection of all the pictures I take! Hope you enjoy! :)

Kabobs with Chicken, Pineapple, Onion, Yellow, and Orange Peppers

Short and Sweet

Dinner tonight was small, but filling. I had a Chicken Caesar salad wrap, and La Croix Berry drink. Very tasty!

Mini Meals!

Today, I've decided to eat mini(ish) meals instead of three big ones. I guess you could just call it mini meals and snacks, but hey, it works!

This morning I had Blueberry Chobani Greek Yogurt, sprinkled with Bear Naked granola. mmm so good!
In between classes I snacked on a couple pretzels!

Lunch today consisted of :

• Two Land O Lakes Colby Jack cheese rectangles


• One Kashi TLC granola bar (My all time favorite!)


• One Zoo Animal Fruit Snacks pouch


• And One Shiny apple
  

Then I went to track practice. I'm working on being able to run both of my laps completely. Right now I can do it, I just don't feel like I'm running. It's more of a jog.

When I got home I had two more pieces of cheese, One piece of Laffy Taffy, and a small bag of Lays BBQ chips. Not the most nutricious, but very yummy :)

Salads!

For lunch today, I had two different kinds of salad. One was a delicious 5 Bean Salad, which had amazing flavor. There were Kidney beans, Garbanzo beans, green beans, and other beans, and the flavor was tart, mmmm so good! I also had a salad with lettuce, carrots, Craisins, crutons, almonds, and Sweet onion dressing. It was excellent. I loved my lunch today; it was a great flavor combination!

Catch Up and P90X

I haven't posted in a while, mainly just because I've been busy. haha. Anyway, A couple weeks ago, I started doing P90X. I started with the Ab Ripper X DVD which probably wasn't a very good idea. It is extremely tough. I've also done the X Stretch, Kenpo X, and Core Synergetics DVDs. Ouch! I have been able to feel the results since I started. They are such good workouts, and I'm super excited to see what my final results will be! The Core Synergetics DVD that I did last night used a lot of upper body strength, as well as your normal push up, and lunge exercises. It really worked my whole core instead of just my abs. I love it!

Smoothie Anyone?

Good Morning!

This morning, I made a smoothie! yummm. I used our Magic Bullet (which I love) and blended everything together.

What's in the mix?

• yoplait strawberry yogurt


• 1/2 cup milk


• frozen strawberries


• frozen pineapple

After making my smoothie, I decided this was just not enough :)

So I pulled out a piece of the spicy cornbread from last night. mmm It was even better the second day!

Lazy Day and Good Eats

Well, I did play Zumba today, but that's about it :) Other than that, I layed around in my pj's, and Facebooked all day. haha.. nothing like a snow day!

We took advantage of this cold day, by having Pinto beans on the stove all day. My dad made some Jalpeno corn bread. It was delicious! I added sharp cheddar cheese and Relish to my beans. There was also hot dog in the beans.. Yumm!

A Snowy Breakfast

I woke up this morning to a snowy, wet, cold morning. Honestly, I don't care too much for snow, but I do enjoy the day off :)

For breakfast this morning, I had some yummy hot chocolate, and a biscuit.

Time off will give me time today to do some things I enjoy. Like, play the new Zumba Wii game I got. I LOVE Zumba, and I tried out the game last week, and it was so much fun! I can't wait to play it today!
