Tomatillo Salsa

This salsa took me less than 5 minutes to make and came out delicious! It's great on so many things but  I could seriously just eat it like soup :) 

½ bunch Cilantro

1 Serrano chile

1/4 cup water

5-6 medium tomatillos

½ tomato

1 clove minced garlic

Juice of 2 limes

Salt (to taste)

Combine all ingredients in blender (Adjust amount of water for desired thickness)

A taste of Summer

I had to share this beautiful and delicious summer salad I created for lunch the other day. While eating this, it made me really excited for summer and all the BARBEQUING to come :).  Take this salad for lunch or as a side dish to any summer party you're attending. (No one has to know it only takes about 10 minute to make!)

• 1 can garbanzo beans, drained
• 1 cup sliced mini sweet peppers
• 1/2 avocado, cubed
• 1 tomato, julienne
• 2 tbsp honey mustard
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp canola oil
• salt and pepper to taste
• crushed red peppers (This little kick of spice makes all the difference!)

Combine the garbs, sweet peppers, tomatoes, and avocado in a bowl.  Make the dressing by whisking together the mustard, vinegar, and canola oil.  Toss dressing into bowl with other ingredients.  Mix in salt, pepper, and crushed red peppers to taste. 

This little salad has everything your taste buds crave: salty, sweet, and lots of amazing textures...and of course it's healthy too ;)

On the News!

Hey Everyone!
As usual, I have been busy with work and studying for the GRE.   I want to score well on the test but studying for the math section has been really discouraging :/.  Every time I take a practice test, I get most of them wrong...If anyone has helpful tips please, please let me know!!

On a WAY MORE exciting note, thanks to my roomie Mal, I was able to appear on KCRA Channel 58 Morning News :)  The segment was done by California Family Fitness' "Workout Wednesday".

I was pretty nervous but it was sooo much fun!
