the health kick has begun

lately i have been eating a lot of salad and dinosaur chicken nuggets. hello amazing. and they aren't bad for you too because they're not fried! ive been kind of on this health kick lately and i am really excited about it. i haven't gone all out with it yet but i am so excited that i am no longer spending all my money on eating out. not that eating out is a waste of money, ts so fun. but i since i have been spending money by eating at home i have been able to feel better about myself and spend less money. its nice!

i still am on the search for the best hamburger on though and the best french fries. oh AND the best sushi! sushi is wonderful and healthy but hamburgers and french fries, not so much. ill have to eat those sparingly. but i'll obviously keep everyone updated on my findings. so far Gordon Biersch has had the best hamburger. melt in your mouth, never want to put it down taste. so yummy! and i didnt even have anything special on it. just the regular lettuce and tomato and ketchup. DELISH. i didnt get to take pictures of it though. so you're going to have to trust me when i tell you so far...it is THE BEST.

anyways back to the health kick...i have been craving salads like no other lately. i made this salad based on an amazing one i had in boise. lettuce, tomato, cucumber, tuna, and balsamic vinagerette. do any of you know of amazing salad recipes you love? i would love to have some new recipes. also, i have been doing yoga. okay i have done yoga twice. i did it sunday and i did it today! if i can do it every other day i would be so proud of myself. my body just felt so relaxed and open and refreshed afterwards. and to know i can feel all of that AND make myself more healthy, and help myself to look better so i can feel more confident. there is nothing better.

well done you lovely restaurant you.

today i would like to write this little letter to a restaurant in old  town scottsdale called R&R. so here it goes:

dear R&R,

i hope you know how very fabulous you are. i ate some of your animal fries while i was there and they were wonderful. you know, the ones with sweet potatoes fries and regular fries as well and then you have pulled pork and cheese on top of them. mmm. you definitely have earned first place in best fries ever. i also had sangria for the first time while i was there. that was delicious! the fruit in it made it taste ever so lovely. after i enjoyed both of those i ate one of your hamburgers with a side salad and ranch dressing on top. hello heaven. on top of my salad you had these cute carrots too. why were they cute? well they were curly like spaghetti noodles and i could twist it around my fork. simple things like that make me just so happy. your burger was so great. its my favorite food in the world, so let me tell you that when i tell you it was a good burger, it was truly a good burger. so all in all i had a wonderful experience there. it was my first time eating there and i definitely would recommend you to anybody and everybody. please be expecting me back.

yours truly,
kaileigh elizabeth
