Healthy Cucumber Veggie Bean Salad

Salad:

1 large cucumber, chopped into small pieces
1 can chick peas
½ cup chopped white onion
2 chopped green onions
1 cup fresh spinach

Dressing

3 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp water
½ packet stevia leaf sugar (or ½ tsp)
1/3 cup rice vinegar
½ tsp garlic
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp chili garlic sauce
½ tsp low sodium teriyaki sauce
¼ tsp ginger paste (powder works too)
¼ tsp mustard powder
½ tsp parsley
½ tsp freeze dried chives
½ tsp sesame seeds
Salt/Pepper to taste

Grab a large bowl to mix all ingredients in and make the dressing separately. Put veggies into the large bowl initially and top with dressing once made. This probably has at least 8 servings and took me about 15 minutes or so to make. Enjoy!

Open Mic Nite Performance Of "Stop Doubting Yourself"

This handy little poem is basically me advocating for people to stop doubting themselves.



I deviated a bit from the original script due to working on getting more comfortable not having a paper with me, but the original words of wisdom are here: http://dbzmaron.blogspot.com/2014/07/stop-doubting-yourself.html



This was taken at Wicker Mic in Wicker Park, Chicago on 8-29-14!



Enjoy!

Open Mic Nite Performance Of "How to Wield Your Magic Wand"

That one time that I spontaneously decide to roll into an open mic nite because my Friday night freed up, I end up getting to perform at my first intimate show at "The Elevator Sessions" at the Justin Pauly Art Studio on 8-22-14 in River North, Chicago! Performing in front of like 7 people is definitely a lot different than giving a speech in front of 150, but cheers for stepping out of your comfort zone!



The moral of the story is... to stop allowing fear hold you back and start living life how you deserve to live it!



I definitely deviated from the "original script" a decent amount, but here's what I initially wrote: http://dbzmaron.blogspot.com/2014/08/how-to-wield-your-magic-wand.html
