I have always viewed labor day weekend as the end of summer..sniff..sniff..those of you who know me well know that I ADORE summer! So this was my question to the fashion nistas today. CAN I REALLY NOT WEAR WHITE AFTER LABOR DAY??
I am going to wear my white jeans...no way around it!
Bountiful Baskets so good this week- a GREAT mix of fruit and veggies! Its so much easier to eat clean when you have a variety of good things to choose from. This weeks basket had corn and potatoes...this is what I call a double negative. ONLY because I do not eat either. Luckily I was able to re-gift these treasures to someone else. Speaking of re gifting...have you found a friend with a garden yet?? if not WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???? Trust me...its a very rare occasion that someone can actually use everything that they grow. Thank GOD that Jo is so free with her extra produce. I was able to score on tomatoes-Lots of them-peppers eggplant and cucumbers. I never really grow tired of fresh veggies. I have told Jo like 100 times. There is nothing better than Roma tomatoes fresh from the garden. It makes for some amazing SALSA!!
When I make salsa-I have to also make guac. I use the salsa in the guac with some garlic, jalapeno (this is depending on how hot the salsa is) cayenne pepper-lime and salt and pepper to taste. This never disappoints! 
This week I opted to go super simple. I like simple. Enter here. CHINESE FIVE SPICE! why I have waited so long to sample this amazing spice I will never know-you have to try this. To get this completely accurate-here is what Chinese Five spice is fennel, cloves, and cinnamon, along with star anise and Szechuan peppercorns. I opted to just grill chicken and turkey breast (going to be a salad kind of week) lathered in this amazing spice. It's delicious!
Sometime keeping it simple is just what I need. I have only one recipe share. I felt the need for a treat this week. I do this from time to time. Sometimes it's cravin..other times supply and demand. The only modification I made was that I subbed bananas for sun butter...weird I know..Supply and demand. This shiz is DELICIOUS!!

Football season is in FULL EFFECT. I can not even tell you how much I miss this! So happy that I have nephews that are playing. And although Jax is injured I look forward to him healing 100% and coming back strong.
My only other share for this week is my new love. Paleo breakfast burritos. This is just 2 eggs - salsa and guac on a gorgeous lettuce leaf. This will be my staple for the week or until I run out of salsa and guac. Notice there is no meat..Not sure how this will play out. I love my breakfast with sausage and or bacon. I will give you a review at the end of the week.
Well a 4 day week is upon is. It is going to be a busy one for me. Lots of working, coaching and training. I have a little nagging shoulder issue that I will be giving my full attention this week even if it means pulling back just a little.
PEEPS...work hard, train dirty and EAT CLEAN and for the sake of everything holy please find a friend with a garden...TIS THE SEASON...
In closing...something funny...as always..thanks Jo for the share....you know me too well!!! Croni...out!
