There's a mouthful for ya. This recipe combines crunchy spiced curry chicken, all wrapped up in a raw turmeric coconut wrap. It's a remarkable protein-packed lunch option that you can make in advance to relish throughout the week. It's also gluten-free and Paleo. Boom.
Hi friends! How's the day going? Yesterday was a bit intense. P and I were both up with stomachaches - I consider we overdid it on the Mexican food and sugar avalanche on Liv's bday - and the entire house woke up when it was still dark. I had a dentist appointment (always a party), or an afternoon appointment,and since we were all totally off on sleep, Liv crashed out for a nap just as P was waking up from hers. Sometimes all ya can effect is laugh. We sat on the patio and blew bubbles, or while eating strawberry sorbet. Even though I was an exhausted zombie,it was nice. Fingers crossed that everything is a bit more *normal* today.
Finding Our GrooveIt finally feels like getting into a routine around here, after what feels like nonstop vacation and traveling. Liv started a new school, and I've started to sub fitness classes. I'm teaching two TRX classes and a strength course this week!Miss P is also enjoying the new digs,and spends most of the day running absent from me and laughing. I took my eyes off her for two seconds the other day, which was the perfect amount of time for her to find and puncture a K-Cup and start eating the coffee grounds. Good times, or good times.
We went for a walk in our new neighborhood,and I also took a beautiful yoga course at Session. It was the perfect mix of "kick your asana" and "airy yoga fairy" which I like. I've also been taking classes at Orangetheory and the new (re)volve cycling studio.
I've found my cooking groove, and am excited to share an easy, and healthy lunch idea with you.
Healthy Curry Chicken Salad Turmeric WrapsI imagined this curry salad to be a bit more produce-dense,but alas, we were out of salad greens and our cucumber in the produce drawer was probably from the 1800s. You effect what you can, and eh?
Here's the recipe whether you'd like to give it a try!whether you don't have these turmeric wraps on hand,any of your favorite tortillas, wraps, or leafy greens would work.
