Cooking in Quarantine

-
I'm sure we have all been cooking up a storm, and I have been as well.  More than I ever have.  I love to cook but I must admit, even for me it's a lot, the dishes are the worst.  I have found some amazing items to keep me healthy and satisfied.  I've been primarily shopping at Trader Joe's, as I enjoy some of their prepared items and it's low prices.  

I love the Trader Joe's organic marinara sauce.  I usually make my own sauce but I haven't felt much like it during this time.  It is damn good for store bought, the best I've ever tried.  I just add to some turkey meatballs and the organic broccoli with a salad for an easy meal.  

The eggplant parmigiana is to die for!!! Seriously, this is a staple item for those nights when you just want to have a tv dinner.  Just pop it in the oven and let it bake, and it's insanely delicious.  My friend Amanda and I both gushed over how good it is.  Don't wait my friend!  

I love organic chicken tacos and I decided to try Trader Joe's taco seasoning.  I didn't even know they sold it.  It was in the tortilla chip aisle, so I grabbed it and cooked the chicken in sautéed garlic and onion, broth, added some of the organic tomato sauce, and sprinkled the taco seasoning over the chicken and let it simmer.  I shredded the chicken for tacos and it was to die for!  You don't always have to eat out, you can create an amazing taco Tuesday at home.  

It took me weeks to find peanut butter or almond butter during this pandemic.  I had to buy one of those national brands and it was awful!  Tastes like pure sugar.  Finally, it was restocked for my delight so I could spread on my organic rice cakes.  I don't like waste so, I finished that sugary mess in my whole food protein shakes so I couldn't taste it.  

For your sweet tooth I indulged too many times on Trader Joe's gluten free mini cupcakes.  Seriously, why did I buy them?  The vanilla isn't my favorite, but the chocolate is too die for!  Cooking can be fun in quarantine and cooking at home is the healthiest for you anyway.

Law of Attraction! 5 ways to Manifest your desires.

Vixens, I have been back on my manifesting vibe lately.  I just really wanted to see some changes happening in my life, so I went back to what I know.  Law of Attraction.  I wanted to see the Secret again, so I looked on my Vibrant Vital Vixens Youtube channel, and looked it up. A two hour episode of Oprah came up instead. It was the episode where Oprah interviewed everyone from the movie, and they talked to them about the film. It was fascinating to look back almost eight years ago and hear how the phenomenon began.   https://amzn.to/2JmGVnM I have continued everyday to check in and say clearly to the Universe exactly what I want!  People, and information have been coming to me very easily. I am vibing high!  I kept thinking of my friend Amy, and I said to myself I will call her next week when my sister goes back home. She popped up in my mind quite a few times. Then last night she walked right into the bar. Now, we have had many similar experiences toge...

Are you living your dream life?

Are you living your dream life or still clocking into life feeling unhappy? I wake up everyday and I listen to my favorite self help gurus, motivational speeches on my dog walk, I get inspired before I go out into the world.  I fill myself up and take care of myself before I take care of other people One thing I have noticed with people right away is their energy.  Your vibe attracts your tribe is so true. Changing your attitude to one of positivity will take you farther in life than anything. When you have a bad attitude, people don't want to be around you. Your negativity is draining.  You know those people, grumpy over every suggestion. They don't want to help themselves. If you do not make positive changes now, everyday you will be in the same place you are now a year from now. As an actress, I have to wake up everyday and reinvent myself. I have the most amazing job in the world, breathing  life into different characters.  When that job is done, you are...

Up in the club!     Yes, Clubhouse app.    It’s been amazing and here is how I am utilizing this new app that’s invite only for now.    It will open up to the public soon and it’s only available for IPhone.   As a entrepreneur, I am listening in on rooms that can help my business.    I am participating in asking questions and getting help from amazing leaders who are six and seven figure earners in my business. So many tips on real estate, entertainment,    business deals being made, connections happening.    This is the real social media app for true connections.    The reason why, is because you have to add real value to the conversation.    It’s not about content creation.    It’s all live conversations, in real time about amazing topics.    You would never be able to get into a room with most of these people and learn from them without paying massive mastermind classes and p...
