New addition...to the kitchie!

Happy Tuesday!


Can you believe we are almost at the end of June already? Yikes! The summer months always fly by way too quickly. Well, as I said yesterday, it's Ryan's birthday today:) This is a big year for my man as he is finally working in a field that he loves. He is not a big fan of change and so he is completely out of his comfort zone right now working for his new company. Yet, every day he is learning something new and loving it...change is good!! So, to my best friend, my love, my partner in life..HAPPY BIRTHDAY RY!! We are going out for Indian food tonight..wahoo! I'll be sure to take picts this time!

See me in his sunglasses? Te he Erica was so creative:)


It's not even funny how much he suits the 80's! I'll post my outfit another time..haha!

I've sure been getting my greens on lately and why the heck not? Greens are abundant this time of year and they taste so amazing. For the past week I've been having smoothies for lunch and I feel amazing! I read somewhere that to drink 2 quarts (basically 2 liters) of green drinks a day is the ultimate goal. So, I'm trying it and I can see why they recommend it! You should try it too! Here's my smoothie I just finished slurping....

This monster had 1 mango, 1 banana, 2 large kale leaves, handful of collard greens, 1 tablespoon chia seeds

Oh ya baby!! This smoothie was so bright and delish. This was slurped up super fast. I forgot to pack my Vega powder so this one was a little on the lighter side.




And now I have another way to get my greens on! I got a juicer..wahoo! Well, my mom and I bought this juicer years ago and just never uses it so I inherited it. It's not the top of the line but she does the job:)

No, this isn't the whole thing..lol! I just snapped this picture right after I cleaned up and so the bottom part was already put away!



I was really happy to have the Juice Daddy handy!! He knows his stuff and I knew I would find the right juice for me!



I went with this concoction! I knew my body would appreciate this juice!


The goods!

Aren't these beets cute?

Mmm...I really loved this juice. It was perfectly sweet and the flavors were perfectly complimented. This gave me a ton of energy for the night. I was just cruising getting things put away and doing laundry!
Anyways, I better be on my way! Work is done and its time for a workout:) Have a wonderful evening!
