DIY Almond Milk (+Flour), Scallops (laaaaaaaa) & Fun Fitness

I admit that I am quite cooking challenged, but that is why I love Pooja. She makes cooking accessible and healthy for the busy average person. I was super excited when Pooja told me I could make almond milk myself (which I buy unsweetened all of the time) and save some major $$$ by doing so. In fact, making almond milk is super easy and also yields almond flour (score for the lazy food prep-arista!) :) Actually, these instructions are provided by the blogger of the week on Pooja's Way, Balancing Val.

For the cooking challenged who are obsessed with seafood (like me!), Pooja explains how to prep scallops in 5 minutes flat. Besides being delicious, scallops are an easy way to wow guests (who would otherwise assume I could make diddly or poison) and get lots of protein naturally.

laaaaaaaaaaaaa = Homer Simpson drool of admiration (these are so gosh-darn pretty!)

Also, in case you missed it, I have been doing a nine minute workout consisting of shuffles, shuttle runs, step ups, squats, and two foot hops (in addition to arm exercises that will be explained very soon- that is when I post pics of how jacked my arms are now from being muscle-less). Pooja conveniently has how-to videos of all of these exercises and more on HuffingtonPost that I wanted to share because they are super fun and easy to do:

Here is Pooja doing some steps up  (but box jumps are the same thing jumping on and off the  riser)
