Where I Eat: MAD Greens

Where I Eat: MAD Greens

MADGreensmainI’ve been on a health journey for years now. I feel like as soon as I turned 30 my body has fallen apart.  I’ve been working very hard at figuring out what is the new normal for me and repairing the damage that was done.  In this process I’ve learned so much about how my body actually functions, and the best things to put in it – foods, supplements, etc. (If you are interested in the supplement I recommend read this post that I wrote about it.)

Every morning I wake up with the very best intentions of eating right the entire day, because I have really seen the effects of what food does to my overall energy levels (I wrote several blog posts a year ago all about my Health Quest journey that you can read about here), but, let’s be honest, some days I just don’t do that well.  One of my errands might take a lot longer than I expected, or I forget that we have soccer pictures after practice and all a sudden I’m left in a pinch and having to pick up fast food.  It’s nice when there is a place you can go that has very fresh and healthy options not only for adults, but for kids as well – hello MAD Greens!  I love this place – the entire restaurant is full of amazingly healthy, fresh food that your whole family will love!

Everything MAD Greens prepares, from salad dressings to bread, is made in-house from scratch with the freshest ingredients, and you can taste it!  MAD Greens serves salads, wraps, soups, paninis, and juice combinations, and their salads are very interesting to say the least!  I’ve tried several and love their Ty Cobb salad the most – full of flavorful crisp ingredients and I’m very partial to their hand-crafted Ranch dressing.  So yummy!  I like any excuse to go to MAD Greens and with their new location in Castle Rock, CO, its very close to me!

Last weekend I took the whole family to the Castle Rock, Colorado location of MAD Greens to enjoy dinner and it was excellent!  I have three kids and my two oldest were MADGREENS2very excited to eat salad – and I’m not kidding!  They love salad and one of the choices on the kid’s menu is a mini salad, where they got to pick their own salad ingredients and they were very happy about this!  They each made a unique salad and once they picked their hand-crafted salad dressing they were set.  I love seeing my kids enjoy healthy food!  My youngest son chose to have mac n’ cheese and was very pleased about this – I’m still working on him – he’s not a big fan of ‘green stuff’ yet.  :)  The kid’s meals also come with a homemade cookie, and drink.  Of course, my youngest said the cookie (which was gigantic) was the best part.  My daughter said her favorite thing was the salad and the feta cheese and my oldest son really liked the homemade balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing.  To each their own, right?

Honestly, I’m just really happy that my kids are willing to try new things, especially very healthy things, and that they like them.  Now if we can only get my youngest son to enjoy the ‘green stuff’ as much as his siblings…he’s a work in progress! My husband, got a wrap and loved picking out each individual ingredient that went inside it.  He said it was delicious, and he also decided to try their Strawberry Cooler Juice, which was really refreshing – in fact, we all tasted it.  I think my youngest could have had the whole thing if we would have let him!

We enjoyed our experience and would highly recommend trying MAD Greens!  Besides being a genuinely healthy option for your whole family, I love knowing that MAD Greens is committed to their food and the communities they are located in by using produce from local farmers, and they strive to use organic ingredients whenever possible.  For me, I find that very exciting knowing that the meal I’m about to eat is from the farm down the road!  Plus, I live in community that has a small-town feel, and we all love to support our community by shopping local – what could be better than enjoying a fresh meal of superb healthy ingredients that came from my neighbor?  I just love it $25MADGreensand am so impressed by this business model.

I LOVE Brownies

I LOVE Brownies

chocolate-dessert-brownies-cakeIt’s no secret, I love brownies.  I mean, I LOVE them.  A lot.  I love all different shapes, colors, flavors, it doesn’t really matter actually, if it’s a brownie I’ll try them, and most likely LOVE them!  Most of my friends know this about me.  In fact, I think the perfect dinner is pizza and brownies.  YUMMY!  I love them so much that I tend to remember big life events around if there were brownies included.  Perfect example – when my first son, Coen, was born I remember the day that my big brother met him for the very first time.  While Ryan held him, we ate these amazing, peppermint brownies that my mom makes for me on very special occasions.  Silly, I know – but that special life event was punctuated in my brain by those brownies.

Yes, I’ve been told that I’m slightly crazy.  I have fond memories of childhood that include making brownies with my mom in our ‘all things cow’ kitchen, and I would lick more of the batter than I was allowed.  Once they were cooked I would sneak a bite every chance I got when my mom wasn’t looking!  I really do love brownies, and I love that my closest family and friends know just how much I love them.  In fact, a few of them get a kick out surprising me with a unique flavor that they either made or found somewhere.

Since I love brownies so much, I decided that it’s about time I show some of my most favorite recipes that I’ve found, tried, or collected on Pinterest.  I plan to start featuring a great recipe that I’ve tried myself, but for now, here is my Pinterest board full of lots of tantalizing brownie recipes for all you brownie lovers out there!  Please share any links you have to your favorite brownie recipes – there is always room for more on my board!  Enjoy!
