Breakfast: Strawberry Spinach Shake

As previously mentioned, I wanted to start eating healthy and I really am. I've cut out fried food, am eating less sweets, and adding more fruits and vegetables into my diet. I know I also said I'd be posting savory breakfasts, but I just wanted to share this sweet recipe so bad! This is my go-to/on-the-go nutritional breakfast. It isn't too sweet and you can hardly taste the spinach! What?! Spinach you say? Yes, Spinach! This dark leafy green vegetable contains anti-cancer properties, lowers blood pressure, is good for the bones and nervous function, and promotes healthy skin! Talk about super cheap superfoods am I right? So give this baby a try and you'll thank me later (seriously). 

On a side note, I won't be posting any recipes this week due to finals but I'll continue the week after!

I'm not trying to advertise Coca-Cola here (jeje)

Breakfast: Tangy Grits

A couple of days ago i saw this interesting recipe on youtube by EntertainingWithBeth (you guys should subscribe to her channel!). In honor of earth day, she shows you how to make a delicious mushroom ragout with creamy polenta. Her video inspired me to create this less exciting dish with a less exciting name, 'Tangy Grits'. 

Basically I used chicken stock to cook my grits, mixed in a slice of american cheese and red pepper flakes while the grits was still hot, and topped it with bits of crispy salami, sun-dried tomato, and cilantro. Because this is a breakfast, I wanted something hearty yet not too oily. If you don't find this filling, you can top it with a poached egg or a sunny side up.
