Happy St. Patrick's Day with Karma Chow

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you Beautiful Gorgeous!
 St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17, the saint's religious feast day and the anniversary of his death in the fifth century. The Irish have observed this day as a religious holiday for over 1,000 years. On St. Patrick's Day, which falls during the Christian season of Lent, Irish families would traditionally attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon. Lenten prohibitions against the consumption of meat were waived and people would dance, drink and feast--on the traditional meal of Irish bacon and cabbage.
 
Yeseterday I posted my cooking video from the Karma chow Cook Book on how to get more "green" into your daily diet.

Here's a recipe from the Karma Chow website with Melissa Costello on a 'fake take' of tuna salad. So healthy and delicious!
Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 2 cans chickpeas, drained & rinsed
• 1/2 small red onion, diced
• 2 tbl capers, drained
• 1 tbl freshly chopped dill
• 1/4 c. chopped walnuts or almond slivers
• 3 tbl grapeseed Vegenaise
• 1 tbl dijon
• 1 tbl apple cider vinegar
• sea salt & pepper to taste
• 2 tsp dulse flakes (optional)

Using a food processor fitted with the S-blade, grind chickpeas until flaky. Transfer to a bowl. Add remaining ingredients a mix well with a fork to incorporate. Season with salt & pepper.

I like it in a lettuce wrap, on crackers and bread as a sandwich. So good! Be sure and make extra for fast lunches later in the week!

LUSH-hand made cosmetics: getting ready for St. Patricks Day with 'Grass', 'Cynthia Sylvia Stout' and a green sugar scrub

Hello Gorgeous! LUSH hand made cosmetics is one of my all time favorite body products! I love the company commitment to making small batches of healthy body products and keeping packaging to a minimum to honor recycling efforts. In my opinion, LUSH has some of the best scents blended into their products and they are usually an essential oil base or blend.

I received these samples from Lush for a St. Patrick's Day 'pamper yourself' story-but I can't wait! I've dug into and been using my samples and the sugar scrub is a favorite next to the Cynthia Sylvia Stout. Ah, for St. Patrick's day I can drink my Guiness and wash in a stout beer too! Enjoy the info and better yet-get on over to www.lushusa.com and get some for yourself!
