Catch and Release

The warmer weather means more fruit and more parfaits!

Superfood Pineapple Parfait with yogurt, 

green food powder, pineapple, and cinnamon

For lunch, I generally stick with wraps and a little protein...

3/4 cup cottage cheese on a bed of raw spinach, tomato, onion, and black pepper

On a Food For Life brown rice tortilla

Then I baked it in the oven for about 5 minutes

Long enough to gently wilt the greens and crisp the tortilla

After some sun worshiping a.k.a. tanning, I was badly craving fruit!

First, I sliced up some cantaloupe, plums, and an asian pear

Then I made this ugly but yummy looking Coconut Carob Sauce: 1/4 cup 

unsweetened coconut milk, 1 Tbsp roasted carob powder, and a dash of water

And poured it over the fruit...

It definitely tastes better than it looks people!

Dinner was a classic stir-fry with a twist...

I added edamame beans which are my new addiction :)

There's also 1 small cubed kabocha squash, corn kernels, 

broccoli, snap peas, celery, kale, swiss chard, zucchini, and onion

I believe the spices I used were paprika, cayenne, 

Italian blend, cumin, coriander, garlic, and rosemary

After dinner I noticed there was a guest who dropped by, uninvited

Hello Wasp!

After having witnessed years of brutal bug massacres from my

 Mom growing up, I am more apt to taking a gentler approach haha

"Don't worry, Kelsey won't kill you"

I took the wasp outside to fly free to sting some poor innocent person

*Shake shake shake*

*Shake Shake Shake* some more...

I didn't think saying goodbye would be this hard for Waspy :(

"You can't live in my glass jar forever!"

And with that, Waspy flew away... lol
