I’m Back! I had SO much fun being at girls camp last week, but to say I’m happy to be home and trying to get back into my routine would be an understatement.
One thing that I am trying to do this week is DETOX. I failed to mention last week that the theme of our camp was “Candy Land”. There was candy everywhere! Anyone who knows me knows that I have a MAJOR sweet tooth. Chocolate and ice cream are two of my biggest problem foods. When I got home on Saturday I felt sluggish, dirty, and tired, and I’m sure the crappy eating was one of the bigger issues for having those feelings.
On Sunday I sat down and made a diet detox plan for the week and I am forcing myself to stick with it so that I will feel better. Even after only two days of getting some real greens in me and no sugar I feel about 80% better.
I also splurged this week and had Kombucha make a come back!
My body is in some serious need of getting the bad out and the good in.
I also made a Sam’s Club run this week and stocked up on fresh fruit. I may have gone a little crazy and I now cant fit anything in my fridge, it is PACKED.
This morning while reading blogs I came across a recipe from my favorite Vegan website Oh She Glows I may be a little obsessed with her recipes. It was for a jam, and coincidentally I had just ran out of jam, and had all of the ingredients on hand, shocker.
Try this recipe now: Magical Blueberry Vanilla Chia Seed Jam
Photo Credit is of course to Angela over at Oh She Glows since she is a FAR better photographer than I, and I don’t want to disrespect her recipe!
The hub’s loves jams and jellies so when I told him that I found an easy jam recipe he was in full support of me using some of our overly stocked fruit to make this Magical Blueberry Vanilla Chia Seed Jam. The even better thing is that it is actually a HEALTHY jam. Why I never thought of Chia seeds for a jam recipe is beyond me. I have been learning so much about plant-based cooking that one day I might just venture out and start trying to create some of my own recipes. But until then Oh She Glows is my top go to for delicious & quick vegan meals.
But don’t tell my husband that it’s healthy, k?
