Nothing wrong with the original recipe - it is in fact simple and very easy. If you rarely cook, or unfamiliar in the kitchen or have no time to cook the original recipe is perfect. I just like to add some things here and there, shifting the flavor to my favor sort of speak :) Keep in mind, that while doing it, Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03962890106533157445noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-724913796476501698.post-85434848815987673502015-05-26T00:49:00.002-07:002015-05-26T16:15:30.713-07:00Baked Eggplant Balls "Meatless Meatballs"
We served ours with the Chimicurri sauce and it was really good! :)
I love discussing recipes with Mom. We both like to find ways to modify the recipes to our liking. Me, I like to find alternative ingredients to make it healthier and or less calories. Mom, considering her experience playing in the kitchen, likes to find ways to make the process more efficient and less time consuming.

My girlfriend took me to a hole in the wall Peruvian restaurant in West Covina, called Mr. Pollo. The food was off the hook! The place was continuously busy. People just kept on coming in and out, mostly ordered the food to go due to limited seating in the tiny place. After we got our food, my friend brought some sauces to our table.

I don't do it every Friday, obviously, but it is a chance to go out and make lunch dates at the same time. While on the Reset, I have just to be picky on where to eat.
Breakfast started with scrambled eggs, mainly whites, of course. Then lunch at Lemonade in Pasadena. This place has a good variety of salad with quality ingredients.

Day 2, not a good day. Light headed, not sure if it was from watching too much movies with caption - the text kept drawing my eyes to read - for sure not from the detox, because I still pretty much ate my normal food, if not eating better. I took Body Flow class that night, but very unproductive. Slight headache every time I change elevation.

I have done this before so I pretty much know what to expect. I got my supplements ready, planning the food in my head, the fridge and pantry are set. I'm actually excited about the possibility of food I will make during this cleansing. So tonight I am going to take it easy. Going to bed early, separating my supplements for the week and already thinking about breakfast.

I love how easy it is to make, and even easier to customize the recipe for different preferences. For example, adding bacon bits for a little bits of fun in the bites, or how about changing the spices to Southwestern mix and add in strained black beans and corn while replacing green bell pepper to red? Sounds confusing? It won't be once you tried the original recipe. So here goes:

I got the idea from the quinoa salad at Menducino Farms. The result is close enough :) I simplify the ingredients with what I readily have at home. I didn't mix in the arugula, so I can store it longer in the fridge, and just adding the greens upon serving - in my case, most likely be spinach. Again, readily available at home.

Maintain your body properly and it will serve you long
and well through the years.
At 40s, I rethink what I'm doing to my body — what I eat, what activities I do. I’m more cautious of injuries and rightly so because older cells don't regenerate and recover as fast as when I was in the 20s.

May 3, 2014. The day was hot. Sun was out, no clouds in the sky, no

swarmed the flat empty scape. Music filled the air, you can smell the
excitement and of course, the delectable fragrance off the grill from
the food trucks. The ROC Irvine commenced today! ROC as in Ridiculous
