I go through food phases where I eat one thing straight for like a week and then I get really sick of it. Right now I am obsessed with sandwiches. I just had a pimiento cheese and spinach sandwich. yum! i’ve also been eating all of my sandwiches with whole grain bread. healthy! other sandwiches i like:

- my healthy BLT (use turkey bacon and lowfat mayo….and sometimes I add avocado!)
- regular old standby…tuna sandwich
- egg salad (i want to try this curried version)
- new one i learned: prosciutto, arugula, ricotta cheese, and drizzle of olive oil
- smoked salmon and goat cheese (I usually prefer this on a bagel rather than bread though)

I also LOVE alfalfa sprouts on my sandwiches. In fact, I just bought a kit to grow my own! You are supposed to be able to have sprouts to eat in 5-7 days. I can’t wait to try it when I get home. Then I will always have fresh sprouts to add to my sandwiches!!

cucumbers are the new apples

girlrobot — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 17:23:16 +0000

i’ve always hated cucumbers but as i’ve grown older i’ve become more open minded about food. reading these facts about cucumbers has me inspired to give these tasteless veggies another try! these surprised me the most:

Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day, just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc.

Feeling tired in the afternoon, put down the caffeinated soda and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good source of B Vitamins and Carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick-me-up that can last for hours.

Are grubs and slugs ruining your planting beds? Place a few slices in a small pie tin and your garden will be free of pests all season long. The chemicals in the cucumber react with the aluminum to give off a scent undetectable to humans but drive garden pests crazy and make them flee the area.

Want to avoid a hangover or terrible headache? Eat a few cucumber slices before going to bed and wake up refreshed and headache free. Cucumbers contain enough sugar, B vitamins and electrolytes to replenish essential nutrients the body lost, keeping everything in equilibrium, avoiding both a hangover and headache!!

Just finish a business lunch and realize you don’t have gum or mints? Take a slice of cucumber and press it to the roof of your mouth with your tongue for 30 seconds to eliminate bad breath, the phytochemcials will kill the bacteria in your mouth responsible for causing bad breath.

Looking for a ‘green’ way to clean your faucets, sinks or stainless steel? Take a slice of cucumber and rub it on the surface you want to clean, not only will it remove years of tarnish and bring back the shine, but is won’t leave streaks and won’t harm you fingers or fingernails while you clean.

By the way, I checked snopes.com to see if these facts were all true but they are still researching the validity of these claims :P

Sulfate Free Shampoo

girlrobot — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 01:34:11 +0000

As you know, when I’m on travel for work they give me $25/week to spend on soaps, cleaning products, and random household products. I usually spend it exploring new shampoos. My new thing is trying sulfate-free shampoos. Sulfate is yet another thing that is supposed to cause cancer and cause thinning hair! Unfortunately, pretty much every popular/mainstream shampoo out there contains sulfate. Odds are that your current shampoo has it!

I have tried the Organix line of soaps and I felt like it caused my hair to get very dry. So then I found out that many sulfate-free shampoos will cause your hair to go dry after extended use. Poo.

I recently picked up the new Loreal line of sulfate free shampoos. I read that they recently bought out the Pureology line which had rave reviews but for some reason everyone complains about the shampoo after it was bought out. They say it causes itchy scalp and dry/hard hair. I bought the Volume shampoo and have only been using it for a week but it seems ok to me. I will be weary of buying it again though.

Next week I am going to try to find Bed Head’s Superstar shampoo. It has amazing reviews and no complaints really. Too bad it’s so pricy, even if I like it I doubt I will keep using it because I don’t like paying over $20 for a shampoo!

I also recently picked up a shampoo that was not sulfate free. I have had Paul Mitchell’s Super Skinny Daily Shampoo on my list to try for years and I finally saw it at CVS! I loooved the smell, it reminded me of getting my hair washed at the salon and my hair feels really soft right now. I love that it is a gentle shampoo with no buildup. I think I will have to alternate between this and the sulfate free shampoo.

Any shampoos (sulfate or sulfate free) you guys would recommend?
