So here are two quick things that may make your life a little healthier and happier this week- a recipe and an At Home, TRANSFORMATIONAL SQUAT workout!!
First, the recipe is to DIE for! I made it last Sunday night for some friends and their kiddos and it was a crowd favorite! Let me just say-we LOVE Mexican here!! Probably once a week we have some type of Mexican dish. That being said, we all try to stay on the healthier side of Mexican so I typically throw my protein on top of this awesome salad!!

Instructions
1. Place avocado, cilantro, yogurt, scallions, garlic, lime juice, oil, and salt in a blender; blend until smooth.

Boys had nachos while us girls had this yumminess with some chicken on top!!
NEXT is your At Home SQUAT workout! I know the weeks can often get busy, and we struggle to make time for our workouts 3-5 days a week. However there are many simple solutions to this time crunch such as an early morning run, (like ours at Ramsey on Tuesdays at 5:30) afternoon 30-minute power-walk, evening yoga or this fun, bodyweight workout you can do right at home!

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2
