As many of you know, last week I moved to San Francisco bay area, California to live. Exciting!
My past 7 days have been packed with tough goodbyes, packing, flying, house hunting, unpacking, a touch of sunbathing, numerous trips to Ikea, home building and the like. I can now confirm I am comfortably settled in to my beautiful new home. I have a great internet connection, the sun is shining, life is good.
Today I have a really simple, easy, healthy delicious recipe for you. Great for taking to work as your lunch or munching on as a nutritious supper!
Organic Super Greens
Sourcing the ingredients did actually take a bit of research! Any American readers- thoughts/ feedback on where to source great quality, organic ingredients would be fab & much appreciated! 🙂
Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
Strangely enough before moving to the US, I kind of imagined everything would be similar to the UK. We speak the same language… so I never even entertained the thought that I wouldn’t know the names of supermarkets; where to pick to up paleo goodies etc.
I managed to find Wholefoods, and so hit the shop. I picked up avocados, cider vinegar, some olive oil, some organic, free- range boneless chicken thighs, some garlic, tomatoes, cucumber herbs and sunflower seeds.
Delicious silky Californian avocados
You can tell I was craving health food! 🙂
