What you notice, give attention to, talk about, get all worked up over emotionally is what you are inviting into your life, whether you mean to or not.

Avocado Smash and Lemon Parsley Eggs
Last night, I found myself in the kitchen from 5:50 when I got home from work, until 9pm I am having to force myself to make the time to do this, because it makes me happy, and fuels my health and well-being. I’m realizing, it also does wonders for my mental health. I’ve been playing around with different filters on our camera too-so fun!
Anyway, I ended up with a fabulous dinner: Steamed cauliflower, Tomato Olive Avocado Smash and Lemon Parsley Eggs!
Tomato Olive Avocado Smash
- 2 avocados
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 small can of sliced black olives
- Kosher salt/pepp
- Garlic powder
- Juice of 1/2 a lemon
- Drizzle of olive oil
Mix. Ha.
Lemon Parsley Eggs
- 2 eggs (or however many you want)
- Fresh lemon juice
- Dried parsley
I broke two eggs in a small saute pan, and let them cook over medium heat with a loose lid over top. When they were getting close to being done, I squeezed fresh lemon juice in the pan. HOLY SHMOLY. So good. I will be adding lemon to eggs more often for sure. Then I plated them and sprinkled parsley on top.
Simple, healthy, flavorful and filling!
Chicken Sun Dried Tomato Saute
Things have been crazy busy lately, as evidenced by my lack of blogging, but I’m making my way back, never fear, ha 😉 Since my schedule has been so full, food has been whatever happens to be the easiest, lately. Last week I threw this random saute together for dinner, Chicken Sun Dried Tomato.
Chicken Sun Dried Tomato Saute
- 1 bag of broccoli slaw
- Pre-grilled chicken (or your choice of meat)
- Melissa’s sun dried tomatoes
- Salt/pepper
- Oil of your choice (coconut preferred)
I started by sauteing the broccoli slaw with salt and lots of pepper, in the pan until it had cooked down. Once it had, I took two pre-grilled chicken breasts and my kitchen shears, and cut the chicken up into bite size pieces directly into the pan. I then did the same with the sun dried tomatoes. So much easier than cutting; no knife, no cutting board, etc. I continued sauteing until everything was warmed, and then ate a bowl for dinner (and brought a bowl to work for lunch a couple days later)!
Helpful tip: If you’re nightshade-free (obviously you wouldn’t use tomatoes here), but, using a lot of black pepper with broccoli slaw, makes it crazy spicy!

Nice blog title, huh? Well, that’s pretty much all I wanted to do, and all I ever want to do, when I read about Monsanto, so I thought it summed the feeling up well. They literally make me cringe. I do not enjoy being a lab rat in someone else’s science experiments.
If you haven’t read about Monsanto, or if you know some, but not a lot, you should read this: Monsanto’s Dirty Dozen. I learned things I didn’t know but am glad I do now. Also, this blog is fabulous: GMO Awareness. I highly recommend a visit for educational (and frightening) realities.
