Ezekiel Whole Grain Flourless Tortillas

Have you heard of Ezekiel Whole Grain Flourless Tortillas?  Now you have!  These things are amazing.  They may look like ordinary soft tortilla shells, but are SO much better!!  The nutrition is incredible -- each shell is only 130 calories, but is a complete protein with fiber and no added fat.  Plus since they're flourless AND sprouted, it's like eating a whole food... almost like a veggie!  Ezekiel products can be found in the freezer section, and it's recommended to keep them frozen at home until you're ready to use them too.  The wraps are especially easy and filling, great for any meal!

Inspired by the Holy Scripture verse "Take also unto thee Wheat and Barley and Beans and Lentils and Millet and Spelt and put them in one vessel and make bread of it." - EZEKIEL 4:9

INGREDIENTS: Organic Sprouted Whole Wheat, Filtered Water, Organic Unhulled Sesame Seeds, Organic Sprouted Whole Soybeans, Organic Sprouted Whole Barley, Organic Sprouted Whole Millet, Organic Sprouted Whole Lentils, Organic Sprouted Whole Spelt, Sea Salt.

= YUMMY!






Here are a few ways I like to eat Ezekiel Wraps...

Tonight's Giant Turkey Taco.

Breakfast Wrap with Eggs, Bacon, Cheese and Veggies.

Another Giant Turkey Taco.

Quick Boiled Egg, Cheese and Romaine Wrap.

Hummus and Veggie Wrap.

Another Hummus, Cheese and Veggie Wrap.

 

I highly recommend you try these instead of regular tortillas or wraps. They really rock!

As for my eats... a failed green apple smoothie for brekkie (way too tart!), yummy leftover roasted squash soup for lunch, snacked on some raw almonds, a few dried cherries and 3/4 brownie (from T-Tapper Carrie Ann), then made that giant taco for dinner!  Plus I drank 2.5 Lifefactory bottles full of Kangen water 8.5 pH.

Today's T-Tapp exercises:

• Primary Back Stretch and Body Brushing at 7am
• 2 sets of Hoe Downs at 11am
• 2 sets of Hoe Downs at 3pm
• And now I'm going to do the Basic Workout Plus...

Still need to soak my feet in magnesium oil tonight too.  Oh, and I'm going to make some pumpkin puree tonight for my Pumpkin Pie Kale Smoothie in the morning.  And plan on trying out a new recipe for Quinoa Veggie Burgers that don't fall apart for dinner!

Organic Black Beans and Brown Rice

Bonjour! This is last night's post for a snack and dinner... I fell asleep watching Veronica Mars on Netflix.  At the Retreat someone said to turn off the TV and avoid electronics for at least 1 hour before bed.  I am SO bad at that!


Eats

Dinner

Organic Black Beans and Brown Rice.

Beans and rice make a great, nutritious and delicious meal.  Cheap and easy to make too!

Ingredients:

• 1 can of organic black beans (I purchase Organic Black Beans in a can from Publix, the GreenWise brand.)
• 1/2 to 1 cup of dry rice (One of my favorite brands of rice is Lundberg Wild Blend.  It's a little pricey, but the flavor can't be beat. Organic brown rice is a good alternative.)
• 1/8 to 1/4 cup organic apple cider vinegar
• 1-2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• seasonings to taste
• vegetable and cheese toppings of choice

Directions:

• Cook rice according to package directions.
• When rice has about 10-15 minutes left, you can start the beans.  Heat olive oil in pan.  Open the can, do not drain, and empty the contents into a pan.
• Add apple cider vinegar and seasonings.  Cook beans until boiling, reduce to simmer.
• Chop vegetable toppings.  I like to use tomatoes, onions, garlic, jalapeno, and spinach.
• Shred cheddar cheese and get sour cream or Greek yogurt ready for toppings.
• Serve beans over rice in a bowl and each person can customize their meal with toppings they enjoy.

Snack

Organic Gala Apple with a spoon of PB.

Dessert

Oh yeah, I almost forgot... I did eat a 100 calorie Klondike bar too.  That's probably why I felt so run down this morning, even after almost 8 hours of sleep.  Dessert right before bed is a no no!

{ weekend } Beach Day & Rainy Wedding

Gloriously beautiful St. Pete Beach!

As you may have noticed I haven't posted since Friday at lunch... life has been busy! I'm getting ready to move out of my apartment and apparently haven't found the time for blogging.

This post will be backwards starting with Sunday and ending with Friday's dinner and drinks.

This weekend I was pretty bad... skipped blogging, workouts, brushing, oil pulling, supplements, healthy eating, etc. Sometimes it's good to let things go for a few days, however now I feel like my body needs to be reset... and it does!


Sunday, April 25th

My entire Sunday was pretty much wasted away by computer time. Yes, I did clean and organize some of my stuff for the move. But then got sucked into researching stuff online and it was time to head to Matt and Jessica's wedding before I knew it. I got pretty and we started driving to Lutz. The sky looked strange and threatening. After they were married and the reception started (under a tent with tables, flowers, candles and a DJ) the sky let it all out.

Pretty much the entire wedding party got soaked. We moved inside the house to dry off and eat cake.


Eats

Brekkie

Einstein's Everything Bagel with Cream Cheese and Medium Coffee.

Snack

Kettlecorn... gave me a tummy ache!

Lunch

The rest of my Eggplant Marino from Friday's lunch.

Dinner

I ate a small plate of food at the wedding... the meatballs were to die for, and a few bites of a pumpernickel roll. Sorry no photo!


Dessert

Wedding cake! Shared this slice with Marcel.

Matt & Jessica ♥

Saturday, April 24th

Saturday morning we planned on waking up early (yeah right!) and going to St. Pete Beach to meet up with everyone. Well, we ended up going to the beach but didn't get there until about 2pm. The place was packed due to a sporting competition on the beach. I don't think I've ever seen that many people on such a small section of the beach at one time. Even though it was later in the day I still got some sun. The weather was beautiful and breezy, so the beach wasn't hot at all.

After the beach we headed home to shower, change and go to my Dad's for dinner.


Eats

Brekkie

Egg on 1/2 Ezekiel English Muffin with Spinach and Cheese.

Plus a little Organic OJ.

And a Venti Iced Green Tea Unsweet.

Here's what was left of it...

Lunch

I basically had a liquid lunch (a few Bud Lights and a Yuengling) with some popcorn (not pictured).

Later when we got home from the beach I made some Organic Carrot and Beet Juice.

The sunset on the way to my Dad's.

Dinner

Burger on WW Bun with Veggies.

And for dessert... a slice of Apple Pie and scoop of Ice Cream.

Friday, April 23rd

Friday evening after work we had some friends come over, kinda of unexpectedly but it worked out perfectly. We all decided to go out to dinner at Whiskey Joe's... and drove there instead of walking. It was okay this time -- service and food-wise. They messed up our order, but we ate it anyway.

I don't think I got to bed before 2am... so it was a good night!

Eats

Dinner

Marcel and I shared these fried shrimp and salad.

Then the Zwack girls came around giving out shots!

Zwack is an 80 proof (40% alcohol) herbal liqueur made in Hungary with a secret blend of more than 40 different herbs and spices. It was pretty good... kinda of a mix between Jager and Goldschlager.

Dessert

Snickerdoodle Cookie.
