Detox Day 24-we're on a streak

My whole life growing up I had the same hair. It was long and thick and boring. I kept it long at first because my daddy wouldn't let me cut it. Later, it became a security blanket. I so wish I had cut my hair and wore fun styles through the years. Hair grows. 

So I decided when I had a girl I would let her do whatever she wanted with her hair. Within reason of course😉

Behold the purple streak. 
It's a little hard to see but I guess they do it dark because it will start to fade and at least last a little longer. 

Tonight we had quinoa for the first time. If you're like me you might have thought it was qui-NO-a for the longest time. However in case you aren't familiar, it's pronounced KEEN-wah. 

We all really liked it. Even picky little Michael. I made another of the Arbonne recipes which called for turkey sausage. I got the uncured nitrate free stuff. They sell it at Wal-Mart. I'm starting to key in on more and more organic stuff, by the way, and Wal Mart, as well as Aldi, has quite a bit. Good to know since the nearest Whole Foods is probably two and a half hours away in St Louis. 

Doesn't this look delicious? It was. 

When I served it I stirred in the quinoa as the recipe suggested. 

Eating "clean" is satisfying and delicious. You should try it if you haven't!

All that healthy food is much better for us than this cake I made today. 


 But alas, celebrations call for cake. Not quinoa 😄

  1. Y'all are doing great Tammy!! So awesome!! But I have to say for some reason when I had to go on the diet I am on I tried quinoa. I can not eat it. I Just hated it. I couldn't even handle the smell! So funny because I thought I'd love it!! I just can't stomach it. I can even taste it in the mixed pastas. So crazy!! I really need to like it too!!!

  2. So funny! Remmi wanted that same cake for her birthday! Ya know, she wants to be a vet when she grows up?! I have the pic saved in my phone, but her scrub jacket was bright green.
