a German on a Journey

Summer is right around the corner and that means my wedding isn't far away either! AHHH! 170 days to go...but who's counting, right?! Needless to say, I am motivated to put some healthy goals in place. Without a plan and guidelines, I never stay on track! Only working out does not do the trick for me.

You can get a basic version here . If you start using this a lot, I would recommend investing in an electric one instead. The great thing about this dish is you can really play around with the ingredients...mix up your proteins by adding chicken or tofu for a vegetarian version. If you like it more sweet, add some coconut milk and maybe some curry. YUM...I think I might need to make that next time! My least favorite part of preparing this is cleaning t
