W.O.C. Salad "Cayman Salad"

W.O.C. West of Cayman Salad
(this is what I ordered almost everyday while on vacation :]! )


This was the first salad I ordered when we arrived last Saturday!
Lets just say I am SO GLAD I did !!!

With the beans, corn, tomatoes, and avocado it tasted just like a taco salad, MY FAV !

What was in the salad:
*Mixed Greens (or whatever kind you like)*
*Black Beans*
*Corn*
PICO DE GALLO
*Tomato*
*Onion*
*Avocado (for dressing)*

SOOOOOO YUMMMY !! I ordered it almost everyday!!!

The next day I decided to add some Jalapeños and Banana Peppers on the side!


The pepper juice was perfect for extra flavor, as well as a nice kick!

TRY IT OUT!!!!!
Add more veggies too and make it even tastier !

I <3 the Cayman Islands

CAYMAN ISLANDS :)

FUN IN THE SUN <3
Cayman Islands !!



Don't let "vacation" give you an excuse to eat unhealthy!

We went to the Grand Cayman's local supermarket, Foster's !!

I bought:
*Bananas*
*Mango*
*Watermelon*
*Green and Gala Apples*
*Strawberries*
*Oranges*
*Papaya*
*TONS OF WATER*

What about if I go out to dinner?!
What can I eat...?

THAT'S EASY!!!
Order a salad, with tons of veggies!
If the salad doesn't come with a lot of veggies ask them what all they do have and add them on...
Most of the time they won't make you pay extra!!

If they have Avocado use that as your dressing.. mash it in your bowl and mix it up.
*Pepperonchini and other peppers are really good for dressings too*!



YOU CAN ALSO HAVE A 
SUPER HUGE
FRUIT BOWL!!!







Eating a"West of Cayman" Salad!!

PARADISE :)

ENJOY YOUR SPRING BREAK :)

My favorite gazpacho

Gazpacho (chilled soup)
YUM



I came up with this gazpacho using my brain power and creativity....
Nahhhhh, I just threw random stuff in the blender!
hahah

I was expecting something blah, 
but it was SO GOOD!

What you will need:
*Vitamix Blender*
*2 large tomatoes*
*1/2 of a cucumber*
*handful of basil (more if you like the taste)*
*pinch of salt*
*juice of a lime, not to much*
*1/8 of an avocado*
*some water*
If you want, I noticed most gazpachos call for some olive oil...
if you choose to use it, use about 1-2 Tbsp!


Mix all the ingredients in your Vitamix blender!
It shouldn't take long for the gazpacho to be ready to slurrrrp.
;)


Top with your extra avocado, cucumber, tomato, and basil :)
I would recommend putting toppings on it and using a bit in every bite!

YUMMY YUMMY IN MY TUMMY!
I <3 THIS GAZPACHO!

Burrrrrrrrrito ;)

Kristina's Fully Raw Burrito & Awesome Sauce ;)


Feelin' Festive!?!?
WELL IF YOU ARE
.......
Here is the recipe to a HUGE delicious chard burrito 
<3

This recipe was created by the one and only
 FullyRawKristin (she is my inspiration)
and this burrito is SO tasty 
I had to share it with you !!
What you will need:

*Large Chard Leaves*
 (Kristina uses Collards)


*Green, Red, Orange, and Yellow Bell Peppers
*Zucchini*
 *Cucumber*
*Shredded Carrots*
*Some Lemon Juice*
*Tomatoes*
*Small Bunch of Cilantro*
*Green Onions*
*Alfalfa Sprouts*
*A few Sesame Seeds*
*Quarter of an Avocado*
(Thats about all you need to keep this low-fat)
*I used Quinoa for protein*

Cut all the ingredients as small as possible!!
Then mix them together!!!




Now for Kristina's Awesome Sauce:



*Half of a Zuccini*
 (more if desired)
*Less than the quarter cup of Sesame Seeds*
*Juice of 1/2 Lemon*
*Few Sprigs of Green Onion*
*1 Bell Pepper*
(preferably red)
*Use a Vitamix to Blend*

The mix of your "RAINBOW" veggies and the Awesome sauce 
is a perfect combination!!!

As long as you keep your avocado to a minimum this burrito has little to no fat in it!!

TAKE THAT:
Carlos O' Kelleys
Cebolla's
Qdoba
Chipotle
El Azteca
Moes
&
Bandidos
(I am not slamming these restaurants they all have great...............
Lettuce (; )
hahahah


EAT AWAY, AND ENJOY!!


Pasta pasta pasta, a new way!

Zucchini Pasta w/ Raw Marinara

"Who woulda thunk ;)"

YES, you read the description right, ZUCCHINI PASTA!
It is soooo yum! 
At first I was a little thrown off... but when I got home last night and noticed this on the counter...........



 I ran right to the refrigerator and grabbed my zucchini!!!!

 

LOOK HOW FLIPPIN' COOL THIS IS!!!
It is also, hands down, the easiest little thing to use !!




What you will need:
For the "pasta"
*A Spirilizer*
(or cut the zucchini into thin strips.. I did that before I got my spirilizer)
*2 little zucchini's*



For the Marinara:
*Vitamix*
*2 tomatoes*
(REMOVE THE SEEDS).. my marinara was watery 
*1 Celery Stalk*
*Lemon Juice (to taste, not to much)*
*handful of cilantro*
*handful of basil*
*half of a red bell pepper*
(I think adding some green onion would be yummy, I am going to try that next time)




Then pour your Marinara on top of your zuchinni pasta 
AND SCARFFF!

*Remember* 
This is made with 100% veggies, eat as much as you want to!!!!


XOXO
