You know who's not getting any more of my coins? Pollo Tropical. Yep. I don't need them anymore. I can pull my own pork with ease. (thank you, crock pot) And now I can make my favorite side at home on my own... and ... dare I say... It's better than Pollo Tropical's version! Don't ask me for exact measurements, cuz your girl doesn't operate that way, but here's my version of the easiest bbq side dish in the world: Pollo Tropical Balsamic Tomato Copycat ...
How A CrockPot Saved My Life
Or maybe...How a crockpot could save my life if I could figure out what to make in it.... So, in 2009, I forced John to go black friday shopping with me. We got a crock pot for $5 and promptly forgot about it. A couple years ago (I think) John made chili in it once. I finally made use of it a couple weeks ago… and now I’m lightweight in love.

I Don’t Care What Beyonce Eats
I don’t care what Beyonce eats. Do you? No, really, do you? Seriously, if she gets people to eat more veggies after her trolly little GMA stunt, then god bless her. #veggiesaregood!

Mexican Inspired Low Carb Dinner #vivalamorena #collectivebias #shop
Tonight I'm trying a Mexican Inspired low carb recipe for dinner. John and I are international eaters. We like all cuisines and cook in a bunch of different styles at home. When we cook, I skew Caribbean, Latin and Indian. He skews Asian, Italian, and American. Mexican is high on our list and we probably have a Mexican inspired dish weekly. It's just so easy to make Mexican food fit into our diets since John is on his permanent quasi-low-carb way of eating, and I am doing the 21 day fix and ...
Clean Eating Recipes – High Protein Breakfasts
So I've kind of combined a couple ways of eating lately based on a few books I've read, my trip to Guatemala back in 2010, and what just feels right and makes sense to me. A big part of how I'm eating lately is starting my day immediately with high protein breakfasts. When I say immediately, I mean within 1/2 hour to an hour after rising in the morning. (This is from Tim Ferriss' 4 Hour Body - the Slow Carb Diet) I've noticed that when I do this, I feel full but not stuffed, and don't get ...
