Recipes: These are a few of our favorite things

My dear, good friend John couldn't figure out how to post a comment on my blog because he's slightly internet challenged (don't tell him I said that), so he sent me an inbox in reference to the jail dream posting. Here's what he wanted to post with his comments in red.

PRISON (and its psychological meaning):
You may feel that your life is restricted at the moment (perhaps being on a restricted detox diet- sound familiar?), and your dream reflects your need to change your routines. To release yourself you may need to make major changes to your waking life (like eating).

He makes me laugh, however, he brings up a very valid point. And now, I would like to take this time to prove him wrong; I do eat. There. Done.

On that note, I decided to share a few of our favorite recipes from the CLEAN detox program that you can easily try at home.

 

Roasted Cilantro Chicken Breast with Avocado, Mango, and Papaya Relish

 

Salsa ingredients: you can improvise with the fruit selection

1/2 mango diced into small cubes

This is a great and simple salad dressing with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen

If anyone tries them, let me know what you think.
