Salsa!

Tonight +Jimmy Ho and I made tacos at home using ground turkey. You can't have tacos or anything really without salsa! We LOVE salsa! I threw in 4 Roma tomatoes, a jalapeno with half of the seeds, about 1/3 of an onion, a clove of garlic, a bunch of cilantro, and the juice of 1/2 a lime. I put the tomatoes in first, so it pureed the tomatoes before it started chopping everything up together. It was almost exactly like the salsa from Taco Cabana! Good thing we like Taco C. It tasted really fresh and healthy. Next time though, I'll put the tomatoes on top so it will be chopping the harder veggies before it gets to the tomatoes. Here are pics!






Something pretty awesome happened tonight at dinner! My full button worked! Most of the time when we eat, I don't feel full while we are eating. Then after we stop eating, I will feel like I ate entirely too much! But tonight, I was taking a bite, and I felt something, and I knew I was full! I immediately stopped eating, even though I wanted to keep eating. After sitting there while Jimmy finished eating, I felt full, but not like I over ate.  Maybe I never felt full before because I was not eating good foods, and my body was not getting the things it needed. Whatever it is, I'm excited about it!

I also made a smoothie today with kale, a carrot, an apple, strawberries, and a lime. Jimmy said it looked like baby poo.. He didn't lie, but it was still good.





 Maybe tomorrow I'll tackle a salad dressing. Loving my +Vitamix.
