Spa Water

If you want to believe in all the wishy washy health nut stuff then this spa water is suppose to help jump start your metabolism. I am a skeptic but thought that it might be a nice change from regular water. It does have an interesting taste, heavier on the cinnamon than the apple and it hits you more at the end. The verdict: a different way to consume your water and a great way to use up that apple that was a tad on the soft side!

We continue our detox day with a hummus platter! Mr. Lawyer had to put in a couple of hours of work this afternoon so I figured this hummus platter was in order. It was perfect and allowed us to graze at our leisure. I used my fool proof pita chip recipe and cleaned out the fridge of random veggies (which is why there isn't a ton of each item). Good deal.

Bits and Pieces of Favorites

Let me introduce you to a couple of my current favorite things.

I love, love, love a nice good spicy food. These two items don't disappoint. 

The Strawberry Hotsy Totsy Jam was a gift from the Easter Bunny (thanks Mrs. T!). The Strawberry-Jalapeno combo has been making for some delicious english muffins. It's sweet but has an underlying slow burn that creeps up on you. The perfect thing to wake you up in the morning!

Jalapeno Hummus, be still my heart! I might have found a new favorite flavor of hummus. It has an in your face kick, not subtle at all. I made a marvelous sandwich yesterday: pita, jalapeno hummus, feta cheese and leftover Mexicali chicken.
