Organic Coffee and Wheatgrass Shots




I tried organic coffee for the first time today along with my wheatgrass shot. The coffee was good and had a rich taste. I don't normally drink coffee but If I did... Organic coffee would be my drink of choice. I'm not an expert but I'm sure that there are many health benefits for drinking organic coffee. 

I  drink wheatgrass shots three times a week because the shots promote energy and stamina. I have everyone in my family drinking wheatgrass shots. Why not! If I'm living and eating better...I want to make sure I promote healthy living too.

Steak Salad and Pan Seared Dumplings


Another Late Night Meal

Another late night dinner that was very successful! I decided to try something new so instead of making a chicken salad... I made a steak salad with pan seared dumplings. The meal was light and very easy to make because it only required a few ingredients.

Resturant Reveiw: Bobby's Burger Palace


I went to Bobby's Burger Palace today for the first time and order one of Bobby's signature burgers along with a milkshake and onion rings. Let's just say the Burger was just what I expected. Juicy, rich in flavor and affordable. The milkshakes were delicious and perfect. Now I'm an onion ring man and I was very impressed with the texture and the taste of the onion rings.
