Home Cooked Tostadas

 Today me and my mom decided to make some delicious homemade tostadas! To be honest I was so excited Lol! It has been a while since we last made these, but I decided to blog it and share this easy homemade meal with you! :)

 
 Ingredients: ground beef, bell peppers, onions, Guerrero's corn tortillas, avocado, lemon, cilantro, sliced lettuce, sour cream, canola oil, pinto beans, and mayonnaise.
 After frying the ground beef, you mix it in with slice bell peppers and onions to give it some more flavor, and put the pinto beans to cook. While that is going on you also fry the corn tortillas in the canola oil. Then you get the topping ready! I slice the lettuce and my mom makes this delicious avocado mix. The avocado mix has sliced avocado, cilantro, onion, and squeezed lemon juice. Once that is all ready you take the hard tortilla and spread mayonnaise, then spread the pinto beans, on top of that you put on the ground beef with the lettuce and avocado mix. Voila! :D

Morning Routine

My morning routine usually starts with brushing my teeth because
good hygiene is important. :)
                                     

Don't forget water! It's important!


Then I make myself some healthy breakfast to help start up my metabolism and give me energy for the day! 
I recently purchased some new candles seeing that I love
candles... ALOT! (Mainstays: Sweet Pea and Golden Amber)

Then I did some yoga and meditation in the living room for 30 min. to help warm up my body and give me peace of mind.  It frees my awareness to where I can access my inner calm whenever I need to. Music is a great to
put on while meditating, it helps with concentration (preferably calm and soothing music) 

After stretching and meditating I have nice bowl of lowfat yogurt (vanilla), Quaker oats, cinnamon, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Which concludes my morning routine and I am ready to take on the day! :D

Healthy Breakfast

Today I had a realization that I don't usually eat breakfast... I know! I know that is soooo bad for a person, especially an athlete.  I am not so hungry in the morning and that is why I usually skipped it, it was not intentional. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it increases your metabolic rate, gives you energy and helps reduce cravings. Sooooo today I decided to make myself a good healthy breakfast. The bigger the breakfast the better! The first thing that I had was some water. Water is so important! Having 2 glasses of water as soon as you wake up helps activate your internal organs. After drinking my water I served my self a cup of "real peach apple walnut multi grain cereal (quaker)" with some organic soy milk (vanilla). Then I put some hot water to boil for my tea and while waiting I made this thing called the "tummy toner", it is made out of 1 slice of wheat bread, half an avocado, black pepper, and hot sauce of your choice. After my water was finished  boiling I had a cup of gourmet cinnamon berry tea with 1tbs of organic brown sugar. With that I was ready and energized to take on the day! :)
