rachels work bites

Okay the camera had been MIA for past few days  (thank you Mr. Vodka Tonic(s) last Friday!)  Luckily though, a friend had it and now…………

I’M BACK BABBBBBBBY!

Now for a fabulous breakfast…..I went with some Vanilla Greek Yogurt, MYMIX Granola, TJ Superfruit preserve, Maranatha Almond Butter and sliced banana!

Usually when I get the Greek yogurt I get plain, but htis time I had accidently picked up the vanilla. I’m not sure if it was because all the ingredients I had but I didn’t love the flavor.  It was a bit too sweet for me.

On the side I added Hemp Bread with Naturally Nutty Vanilla AB and more preserve.

I was craving a bit of Mexican today at lunch.  Using the different ingredients I have at my house I made a healthier version of a Taco Salad. 

I began by crushing up a few Guiltless Gourmet Blue Corn chips, then I cut up a few cherry tomatoes into smaller bits bits and threw them on top. Using chicken that was already cooked, I heated it up and then cut it into smaller strips. Then I took Franks Hot Sauce and covered the chicken and proceeded to heat the mixture up once more.

I threw in some lettuce and placed the chicken on top of the mixture.  I added my condiments of 2% Shredded Cheddar, Reduced Fat Sour Cream and some Salsa.

It came out fabulous! Not to mention very filling yummmmmmm!!!

Okay, so over the past five years or so my aunt and I have seen an obscene amount of concerts.  More than any normal human being would see unless they worked in the music industry.  In fact, I’d say it’s safe to say that my aunt and I are qualified enough to be able to work as a roadie, music promoter or writer for Rolling Stone.

It is no wonder after the many many shows I have seen that I haven’t taken pictures of any of the artists.  Here’s a just a handful of artists I’ve seen (many of them on numerous occasions):  John Mayer, Anberlin, Christina Aguilera, Beyonce, Vans Warped Tour, Coldplay, The Police, Kanye West, Fleetwood Mac, Britney Spears, Bruce Springsteen, Goo Goo Dolls, Martina Mcbride, Alanis Morrisette, Tori Amos, Usher,Shania Twain and soooo many more!

If I had documented each concert I had been to I would have quite the photo album to show off! Well, I’ve decided it’s never too late to begin so when I saw Jason Mraz last night I made sure the camera was ready!

Jason was so fabulous! At first when he came out it was very mellow and he just went from song to song (amazing songs!).  He really started to feel his groove in the middle of the concert and interacted with the crowd more, danced around and was loose and silly.

The vibe of the concert was very beachy/reggae.  You felt like you were on a native island just enjoying life and the spirituality of nature and man.  The whole concert was very reminiscent of his latest album which is much more stripped down and mellow compared to his other two albums.

One thing I did notice about Jason is how skinny he is! I’ve heard that he is into vegan and raw food but I think it has made him too frail looking. Don’t get me wrong, I’d still go 7 Minutes in Heaven with him, but I actually think he looks better when he was a little more “filled out”

BUT he is still fabulous and we all love him!
