I’m raving about this salad! I made  this recipe last night and gobbled it up. Then I made it again this morning and had it for breakfast. Yes, I loved it that much I ate it for breakfast! Who would have thought about eating a salad for breakfast? Not me…. until I made this! It’s filling and very satisfying. I know there’s a lot of ingredients, but it’s very easy to assemble! Sorry I don’t have a picture, my camera is on the fritz, but I’ll make this again and get a snapshot of it :)

What are you guys doing for earth day? I’m planting a blackberry bush in our backyard. :)

Don’t Take Anything for Granted



Beautiful India

India is an amazing place.

The two week long trip I took to India with my family, in January 2012, was a life changing experience. I learned to take things lightly and laugh it off, rather than being super serious. During our stay, we visited Delhi, Augra, Ranthambhore, Jaipur, Pushkar, Udaipur, Mt Abu, Jodhpur, and Bombay, then went back to Dehli.  All that traveling opened my eyes up to realize what’s truly important. There was a lot of litter all over the ground, and their hygiene was little to be desired. There was a lot of poverty in India. India was a beautiful place rich in culture.  Even though they had so little material wise, they still found a reason to laugh and smile often. They treasure each other and families more than anything in the world. People shouldn’t say America is a horrible place, when they haven’t traveled to another country or seen how much we take for granted.
