Enjoying 100% and Veggie Burritos


Most often we take our health for granted. We go about our daily lives with a headache here, a muscle ache there, some sinus or allergies issues; however, for the most part we feel good. We feel great! But we don't realize how great we feel until we get hit (bam) with some type of stomach bug (just for example). Then we feel awful. So awful it is hard to realize that it is only temporary and this too shall pass. Then we start to recover and we feel a bit better each hour, each day until we feel back to 100%. And on that day is the day we realize what 100% actually feels like. It feels awesome. And for most of us who aren't suffering from some serious condition or chronic pain, that 100% is probably what we are feeling a majority of the time. And that 100% is what we take for granted.

Today I am taking some time out to be thankful for my overall health and my 100%. What does this have to do with the recipe I am sharing with you today? Nothing. But it is still a good recipe so try it and enjoy your 100%. You can add chicken or steak to this recipe if you please.
