✨M A K E T H I S✨ Eating green and clean is a ✨M A K E T H I S✨

Eating green and clean is a solid recipe for a healthy body💯. This is one of the recipes I have been sharing with my corporate clients for crazy fun virtual experiences: Apples, normally with kidney beans but I used to chickpeas here, Mancheho cheese, shaved fennel, truffle oil, and Modena vinegar. Solid salad with sweetness, crunchy, texture and fiber!🙌🏾 

What are some of your favorite salads? Are you eating green and clean these days? Grab this recipe on my site, HouseofBren.com✨💛

*******
Comiendo verduras y teniendo una dieta limpia es una receta para mantener un cuerpo Super saludable. Esta es una de las recetas que estado estado haciendo y compartiendo con mis clientes cuando hago eventos virtuales. Manzana verde, frijol rojo, aunque aquí usé garbanzo, queso de manchego, fennel, aceite oliva con trufa y vinagre dulce. Es una ensalada deliciosa con mucha textura, dulce y fibra.

¿cuales son algunas de tus ensaladas favoritas? Déjeme saber porque estoy loca para incorporar más verduras en mi dieta.🙌🏾✨🙏🏽

✨B! F R E E✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨So ✨B! F R E E✨

✨Somewhere far far away in Fiji where the ocean is strikingly blue and the sand crystal white.

✨Back in 2013 I won a recipe competition sponsored by Victoria Tourism. I'll share more of that epic experience later this week, acutally... but during that trip to Australia, my sister and I hopped over to Fiji to visit a friend who helps develop peaceful democracies in Africa. She took us on a dope 4-day trip around the entire island. We ended up in the baddest of nooks. Not sure where we were here, but we had chartered a boat to go out to sea to snorkel.🤿🙌🏾

✨It wasn't the barrier reef, but we saw some thannngs!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨Take me back! Though COVID has us with some restricted travel, where you love to be right now? Me? I'd be in Fiji, Spain, or Aruba, to start!

Let’s all wish Senator Patrick Leahy @senatorlea Let’s all wish Senator Patrick Leahy @senatorleahy much patience and clarity in overseeing Trump’s second impeachment! FRFR, he is such a nice guy. We had such a great, hearted conversation about Cuban politics and his role in leading the way under Obama while at a private Cuba event/luncheon at the White House. And, to boot, he has a copy of my cookbook, which he later thanked me for in a personally written letter he sent me. Y’all. I’ve been around these DC streets a miiiiiinute. If you only knew. ;) 

Gotta love democracy. 🇺🇸
