What's cooking: Simple Rice dish.

I love rice dishes, this one was an easy one, I marinated diced boneless chicken thighs, and then sauteed them with diced pancetta, then added later shredded carrots and corn, and green onions. I love using the all seasoning from Badia, some curry, cumin and five spices. I mixed the rice and then added fried plantains, yummy. The kids love this one and asked for seconds.

Words to lift you up!

Tropical Flowers.

What a day yesterday, I got to my local YMCA and it was closed, what a bummer. I decided to head over to Marshall's just to walk around and found a pair of green wedges in my size for a super good price... I had to take them home with me this made me feel much better although I didn't get to exercise.. We had our neighbors over for dinner, steak and shrimps, dessert and three glasses of a very delicious wine..... and then I went to bed but couldn't sleep..... I normally drink half glass of wine not often so this morning I decided to skip Zumba.

After two changes of clothes this is what I am wearing, No I didn't have an accident or two .... I went to the Mall and then came home change into a much fitted attire for home depot (first outfit to dressy)  and then came back change into this, (second outfit was a bit sweaty) cause now I am kitchen bound to cook a rice dish for tonight's dinner before I head out to Zumba.
I feel the most beautiful when I am wearing stuff like this,..... just relaxed. And boy I need some relaxation in my life. Soon........................

Late Night Inspiration.

Before heading to my bed, I was browsing on Pinterest and I came across this beautiful picture. I like healthy treats  Whenever I want something sweet, I reach for fruits, my favorite is mango, papaya, sour sop, watermelon, tamarind, these are the fruits I grew up with. So when I saw these cool ice pops, I thought I need to make these one day. I will share it with you when I come across the recipe and make them. Goodnight peeps.

Celebrating Health.

It has been a 2 years now since I have been exercising more, and really taking care of myself and watching what I eat. I am so proud of what I have accomplished, I used to drink soda now and then but yesterday the big test came while going to the movies I always order popcorn and soda but this time I had to stick with water. I don't miss you "coke zero".
I run, and do zumba, do weights and now TRX and soon I will start to go to a Yoga class.
I juice in the mornings, if I don't get to make the vegetable juice I either buy it at Whole Foods or I will make my breakfast, sometimes an egg, a plate of fruits and a slice of wheat bread with tea.
For lunch I will have salad or soup and for dinner lots of veggies, salad and fish or chicken sometimes a turkey burger will do it for me too. My new thing now is the Quinoa Pasta soooo delicious.

Mine was a bit different I came back from TRX and needed to eat something quick so instead of grilling corn, I used corn in a can, and I grilled my bread a baguette cause my grocery store did not have ciabatta on a portable grill inside it was super delicious.

I took the kids see the Three Stooges at the Dollar Movie Theatre, 

I haven't laughed in a long time like this it was hilarious.

Lace and Jeans.

I bought this lace top recently and I have in my mind many ways I want to style but for today I paired it with jeans.
I have been listing things on Etsy and taking more pictures of new jewelry.
Have a great Sunday, it seems like here it is going to be rainy one.
