Wrap it up....

Wowzers.....  Just got done eating dinner.  So yea, that was pretty yummy!  I have always loved applebees oriental chicken salads.  I don't like having to pay for the salad though (especially if I am not going to eat the chicken)  So I found a recipe online that has a dressing similar to applebees.  Here's the recipe for the dressing

3 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup mayonnaise (I used grape seed veganaise)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon sesame oil

blend with a wire whisk until smooth.

I then took a organic flour tortilla (from the health food store...  granted I would have preferred a whole grain one) added chopped spinach, arugula, onions, carrots, sprouts, and chic peas and added some dressing.

Then, roll it up and chomp it down..... :)

Super yummy!!!  Remember, you are not limited to these ingredients... if you don't like something, don't add it.  If you'd prefer to eat it with something else add it!

As always, let me know if you try it!


Oh, I just wanted to add a little note.  Normally I won't even weigh myself anymore because I am afraid if the scale doesn't move fast enough.  It was down 5 lbs today from the last time I weighed myself (3 weeks ago).  I haven't been exercising as much as I should, so even though I was hoping for more than that, I can't ask for much more.

In the past if the scale didn't move fast enough, I'd get mad and eat something bad.  Well... Now I don't want to do that since I crave more whole foods than the junky stuff I've been known for.  I feel great mentally and physically.  I was just talking to my mom and sister about how my mood has stabilized and I feel a greater feeling of calmness and less stress.  I'm sold on this lifestyle... I don't feel as if I am missing out if I don't have junk food. 

Life.Is.Good....

I love you!
