Big Hot Chic Salad
We are hot! We just have to realize it! But we become hotter and hotter with good foods and improved self confidence. Feeling like you want to EE, have a salad and WOW, the mood just improves 100%. Why? Because treating ourselves in a positive way is true love. Binging on crap is not goodness and will never make us feel better. NEVER!
Make it with what you love or like, knowing that this is going to provide your body with loads of nutrients that will help heal, cleanse and revive your body and I think, mind. Energy!
Mixed greens (ANY kind as long as it is dark green)
Kale, broccoli, cabbage (purple, green), celery, cucumber, zuchinni
Carrots, red, yellow and/or orange pepper, red onion, tomato, radishes…..
Adventurous? Mushrooms, olives, herbs, pieces of fruit, little avocado, legumes, few nuts or seeds, fish or shrimp
Etc. (Not all of these, unless YOU WANT. It is up to you!)
Dressing- Just keep it chemical free. Lemon juice or any real fruit juice mixed with a good oil (about 1 T. or a little less of olive, flax, sesame oil, YOU PICK) or you could try this. I took a spicy, no preserve ginger sesame dressing and since it was a little too sweet for my taste at the time (pineapple juice and sugar in the ingredients *sigh*… Shanna, next time better label reading 
), I halved it with Bragg soysauce. Slightly a little lazy, but I was in a funk and needed something good. YUM. Topped it with a few sesame seeds and bon appetite !!! (A little good fat is good for absorbing those nutrients. And you will be amazed how long you feel satisfied.)
Grab, cut, mix, savor, chew well and enjoy because you just did something fabulous for your body when you know, it could have went the other way too. And NO COOKING which is practical, time saving and cool for the house. 
Creativity!
Now, you better feel hot because you are! Hotter and hotter each day!
Update:
Inspired from that moment when my whole body wanted to snack on the not so healthy and with me, that is usually a lot of it. But thank goodness for the rational and a fridge of veggies. I remembered something when I read a blog yesterday that I have heard before. Not ideal to see yourself as a label or in a certain way because you tend to perpetuate that view of yourself. I found a bit of a lifestyle that makes me feel good and does not have me wanting and wanting or feeling anxious, but I will not label myself 100%. Just liking these new thoughts.
I am aiming to eat Vegan, but I am listening to my body and when I feel I need something else, I eat yogurt and fish, whatever is good for me and appeals. But truly I do feel so awesome and NO JOINT PAIN or lack of energy like I thought MIGHT happen. I feel so amazing. Just keeping track with WW so I do not dwindle away or lose too fast…lol Well if the truth be told, feeling healthy is the best place. Keeping in mind also, protein, calcium, zinc, iron, B12 especially…all covered. Weights yesterday and yoga today!
Have a beaUtiful day Everyone ! *hugs*
OMG that’s such a fab idea! I’m going to start binging on salad LOL It really is a good solution to that NEED to eat state I think everyone finds themselves in. Gonna try it for sure!
That was incredible Jennifer!! Sooooooooo upbeat and positive. Just like I like em!!!
You sound on top of the world…on top of your game and I’m so blessed to have you as my buddy!!!
I’m all ready to get out there and eat healthy, because I too want to feel amazing like you Jennifer..your the best!!! Love ya!!
See? I knew I was goofing off on this site today for a reason. Now I’m EXCITED about getting my groceries tomorrow and you have convinced me to start making my own salad dressings to boot! I have the cutest little tiny food processer that I got for Christmas a couple of years ago, and I never use it. It would be perfect for mixing up dressings! Now one question. Does the dressing store well and what should I store the dressing in? Glass bottle? Plastic?
Have a great day, you hot chicka you….
Hugggggggggggggs and mucho love,
Shan
thanks! it’s so funny you wrote this - i’m been craving salads all weekend and week which happens when i start to eat junk and am in an EE kind of place…
What the heck! I am craving liver!!! What is a gal to do, find some organic liver or what? Hehe….. Perhaps a need for iron and zinc, maybe so.
Are you saying we are hotter because of global warming? LOL
Salads… yum. Summer is coming!
Hi Sweetie, I am still on the old no meat, fish or dairy and so many dark greens, raw or cooked. I am making my dressings too. I found a bread made with no flour, just sprouted grains, all kinds of grains and legumes. I found a cereal you can cook with 8 grains in it, but no wheat. Also a sprouted grain cold cereal. With my soy milk it is delicious. I feel pampered and spoiled with all the great SUPER foods out there, my grocery bill has not gone up because no sugar or chips or junk. My cravings have stopped except for beans, I do crave any kind of beans. I sprinkle them over my salads, include them in soups and enjoy green shelled soy beans as snacks. My clothing is getting so big on me I am having to shop. AGAIN. I lost 2 pounds less then goal and am still getting firmer. I never thought I would be writing this. Dr. Marc is my hero and my other Drs. agree. Livers in animals contain the bad stuff filtered out of the animals. Yuch!! And I used to feed it to my family all the time. Keep taking good care of yourself and know I love my young Canadian friend. Big hug. Marge
Awesome idea!!! I too love salads! I am gonna try your ideas!! You rock with that enthusiasm!!
