Spicy Sriracha

You've been hearing about Sriracha everywhere this past year and now it's you turn to try it out if you haven't yet! You only need a tiny bit of it for the most part because it's pretty hot but it sure does add a great flavor. This salad is my new favorite because it's low cal and the flavor packs a delicious punch. With the hot of the Sriracha and the sweet of the Thai sauce it is the perfect balance. This recipe is yet another from the cookbook "Skinny Taste" called "Bangin' Good Shrimp". I, of course, made a few slight changes of my own. 

  • 5 Tbsps. light Mayo
  • 3 Tbsp Thai sweet chili sauce
  • 1 or 2 Tsp Sriracha sauce
  • 1 pound shrimp
  • 1 Tsp canola oil
  • 3 cups iceberg lettuce (shredded) 
  • 1 cup red cabbage
  • I added 1/2 avocado and sprinkled some blue cheese 

Along with amazing flavor it is also easy to make. Prepare the shrimp by sauteeing, and then in a large bowl mix everything together. At only 215 calories per serving (makes 4 servings),  it's a hard recipe to resist.

Quick Organization

Being organized can be tough especially when you are constantly on the go. So here are a few "Fast Tips" to stay organized and start your week with a clear head.

  1. At the start of your day make a small list of things you want to accomplish. I do this regularly and it really does make a big difference. It gives you a chance to prioritize.
  2. Know what you are going to have for dinner Monday-Thursday. Personally this gives me so much clarity knowing what is going to be on the table that evening. That way there is no last minute running around finding a recipe.
  3. This one might sound silly but make the bed every morning! I once read in a magazine to do this to start the day out right and believe me it works! When I forget to do this it makes an impact.
  4. This is one I am constantly trying to achieve. Finish a task before starting a new one. By far I struggle with this on a daily basis, but I'm getting better.
  5. Keep a calendar. MK and I use "Cozi" (www.cozi.com). Pink is me, Blue is MK, Orange is our company, and Green is all. We've used this for years and we absolutely love it. Keeps us busy folks very organized on a daily basis.

Now, go out there and seize the week and make it a wonderful one!

The Denim Dynamic

At my work, "Casual Friday"is an actual thing so to finish out the week of Spring fashion trends I give you The Denim Spring Trend! The Boyfriend Jean is back! All the jeans this season are all about being loose and baggy. Personally I've always had a love for my baggy Boyfriend Jeans "in" or not but I must say I'm thriled they are all over the Spring runways. Just make sure that when you are wearing them you make sure nothing on top is too loose fitting. Ying and Yang. Form fitting top, looser bottoms.  For a more dramatic look roll the bottoms and throw on some heels.
