Summer Salads Week 7

Cabbage & Bok Choy Slaw 

This weeks salad is super simple and healthy. Matt, my sis in law Cori and I have started the 21 Day Sugar Detox. This recipe was in our menu plan for the first week 

We are now 6 days in and I'm hoping the hardest part is over. All the recipes are great but let me tell you it is a lot of work. Eating healthy, whole foods is time consuming but it is worth it. All of us are already feeling better and have more energy after just 6 days. I can't wait to see how we feel after 21 :) 

Fresh Cabbage & Bok Choy Slaw 

Dressing: 

2 Tbsp raw tahini 

juice of 2 limes 

1/4 tsp minced garlic 

Slaw: 

4 cups finely sliced red cabbage (1 medium head) 

1 cup finely sliced bok choy 

1/4 cup chopped green onions for garnish 

1 tbsp white sesame seeds for garnish 

Hope you enjoy!!

My husband Matt has recently become a sponsored poker pro, crazy right? I am so proud of him!! Check it out here 2Pair Poker. 

The tournaments he plays are usually on the weekends and I had the pleasure of joining him on the latest tour stop. I just recently invested in a new DSLR camera and have been looking for an opportunity to get some practice so I offered to take pictures for this event.

I had so much fun seeing how everything works at the tournament. The 101 Casino in Petaluma, CA was wonderful, from the, staff to the restaurant it was all top notch. 

Here is a little sampling of some of what I was able to capture. 

I took pictures of the other team pros...I promise. But this guy, I couldn't get enough of :)
