In need of a holiday detox? We all know
and love the fact that the Fourth of July weekend centers around the grill and yummy desserts like
this bubbling out of the kitchen. But when real life rolls back around, it's time to get your mind and body back in gear. This is my salad for such a wish. While it's healthy and packed with nutrients, it does not
at all lack in flavor.
I'm planning to take my first Bikram Yoga class this afternoon. I was warned not to eat anything 3-4 hours before my first few classes until I know that my body can handle it. They obviously don't know that I'm a grazer and nibble all day long. Either way, wish me luck for my work out in 105 degree heat!
