Recipe//Superfood Salad

After eating some cheat meals this week I needed to detox.  So why not detox on something yummy?
All of the ingredients are going to have you flipping out. In a good way.


To make this super-tasty-healthy-detox-salad you need the followings:
  • A cup of Kale (you can add more if you desire) ~ 34 calories
  • Half a cup of dry Quinoa ~ 313 calories
  • Half a cup of canned chickpeas ~ 118 calories
  • A packet of Starkist's Tuna Creations in Sunflower Oil (2.6 oz. pack) ~ 150 calories
  • Half of a tomato (my tomato was small) ~ 8 calories
  • A tablespoon of parmesan grated cheese ~ 22 calories
You can adjust a number of ingredients to whatever you desire. This was only a suggested guideline.


 Total calories: 655
That may seem like a lot, so read this before you throw the recipe out the window.
I'm going to share some easier, more deceitful fast foods that sometimes get our attention too often. Hopefully, this will put into perspective the quantity of good food versus the amount you can eat in a drive-thru.
Mcdonald's Double Quarter Pounder w/cheese ~ 780 calories
Mcdonald's Bacon Clubhouse Grilled Chicken Sandwich ~ 610 calories
Burger King's Whopper ~ 760 calories
Dairy Queen's Chicken Strip basket (4 pc. with gravy) ~ 1030 calories
Dairy Queen's 1/2 lb. GrillBurger ~ 800 calories
Sonic's Cheeseburger (with mustard) ~710 calories
These are only to give you an idea of the quantity. Typically, after I eat some of the listed items above I'm never truly satisfied. My tummy is still rumbling for more after I throw the wrapper away.
However, after eating a power bowl full of tasty, fresh ingredients I was stuffed. The quinoa helps you to get full fast. I had no desire for anything else after I ate. Which is surprising, especially for me.
I hope you take time for yourself today and make better decisions for your body.
It takes only the first step.

Motivational Inspiration/ /Living Temple

"Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." ( 1 Corinthians 10:31 ) This was ( and still is ) my mantra for a healthy lifestyle. If you've tried the New's Year Resolution of a healthy diet and failed at it miserably, you're not the only one. Everyone tries to shun the guilt of indulging ourselves over the holidays. Trying every diet out there, going as far as half-starving yourself for that perfect image that society tells you is necessary. Forget it. It's not worth it. Who's body is it anyway? It's not the world's. And it most definitely isn't your own. We were born with a living temple. God breathed life into you for His purpose. Not ours, but His. Life is a precious thing, and we take it for granted too often. Our bodies deserve to be treated as living sacrifices for God because in the Bible that's exactly what His will is for them. "I beseech you therefore, brethren

Motivational Inspiration + Book Review/ /Finding Worth

I partnered up with Livy, from Crown of Beauty magazine to write a post focusing on Finding Worth. To all the girls out there who are searching to find themselves. To all the ones who are wanting to feel loved or worth something in this world. To all the daughters of the Heavenly King, this is for you.  'Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.' ( Titus 3:5-7 ) If you are a born-again believer in Christ, then you are one of His children. Which makes you a daughter of the King of Kings, Lord of Lords. You are His heir. 'Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised .' ( Proverbs 31:30 ) &

Motivational Inspiration/ /Cast Your Care

Yesterday was one of those days when you go into the bathroom to find a quiet place to internally scream. Please tell me I'm not the only one who does this. Everything started out perfectly at dawn. Had all my ducks in a row and every bow was perfectly timed. Then bad news came and with it a multitude of mistakes and mishaps that made the workday seem to stretch. Never before in my days of working was there a day with so many errors in it. I felt like a palm tree in the midst of a hurricane, getting tossed and flipped by the oncoming storm. At one point the day met its climax and a sudden thought blew past my mind; I know the Master of the storm. What do I have to fear? I know the Master of the storm. The disciples were placed into a similar circumstance in Mark, however, their storm was literal rain and wind. Jesus was teaching parables on a boat to the many eager listeners that filled the beach. Once he was finished, he told the disciples to cross the sea o
