Spring has sprung and so has Mo, the Morselist’s creative clean-“itis” craving. ‘Tis time to morselfy your spring cleaning, so let’s get started with some of
Mo’s top 10 tips!

1 Clear the clutter. You all know what I mean. Get it clear and clean!

2 Donate items you haven’t used or worn in more than 6 months to a worthy cause

3 Start a compost bin, can or jar, if you don’t have a yard. I use a large jar to put my brewed chicory root and vegetable peelings. Coffee grounds, tea leaves and even clean egg shells mixed in with soil does wonders for your garden AND reduces waste. DOUBLE MORSELICIOUSness! Watch this 3 minute “how-to-compost-video via The Sierra Club”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FfnbTC1Mis

4 Make your own eco-friendly cleaner. My favorite concoction is to mix
Baking soda with peppermint castile soap and warm water, which makes an excellent fresh smelling NON-toxic scrubbing agent. Consider adding fresh lemon juice and even using the used lemon for extra fresh scent, scrub and shine. For the sinks and toilet bowl, NOT using the same sponge, try a mixture of baking soda and white vinegar. It actually fizzes when you mix the two, so it’s kind of fun…yes, one must make FUN out of spring cleaning! It’s the MORSELIST’s rule! ☺

5 Clean your refrigerator. Start by taking EVERYTHING out, shelf by shelf. Yes, you may do this one shelf at a time. Deep clean the inside of your fridge with a mixture of warm water, fresh lemon juice and baking soda. Towel dry and put everything back, assuming your food items and jars, etc. are already clean. If not, clean those, too and toss any old and moldy items… say that 3x quickly:
“OLD and MOLDY
OLD and MOLDY
OLD and MOLDY” ☺

6 Clean out and clean up your pantry/cupboards: After removing your shelves, again one at a time, consider lining them with fun lining paper…so much easier to clean. Heck, you can even make your own, if you’re feeling extra MORSELICIOUSly crafty or get your kids involved. Make it fun and while you’re at it, clean up your pantry items that contain high fructose corn syrup, sugar, msg, too much sodium, ingredients you can’t pronounce and did I mention sugar? Stay tuned for my upcoming article on SUGAR DETOX.

7 Open sunshine! Open your windows and breathe in the fresh air! A lil’ fresh oxygen does the body and soul good.

8 For mo’ oxygen in your home, pot some plants in every room. You know I LOVE my green and yes, I have plants in every room of our home and not only does it provide natural beauty, it provides mo’ oxygen and cleaner air. TRIPLE MORSELICIOUSness!

9 Start an herb garden, even if it’s just a little pot…I have a pot of fresh bail on my kitchen counter and it lasts much longer than buying a bunch of basil at the market every week, plus it’s SO fragrant and there’s something really fun about clipping your own fresh herbs for every meal. Try it, you’ll like it. Just ask Mikey. (And if you don’t know that reference, good God, I’m old!) ☺

10 As a reward for completing Mo’s spring cleaning list, I’ll share my
MORSELICIOUS NILLA NUTTY SHAKE recipe. As with 99.9% of my recipes, this is vegan, gluten-free, almost NO sugar or sodium and of course, loaded with oodles of MORSELICIOUSness! Enjoy!

coconut

MORSELICIOUS NILLA NUTTY(vanilla-coconut-almond) SHAKE

½ cup canned coconut milk
½ cup almond milk (I prefer unsweetened)
1 tbsp vanilla flavor
¼ tsp pure ground vanilla
optional: 1 tbsp cacao nibs
crushed ice

Serves 2
Blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender until desired consistency and sip or slurp the MORSELICIOUSness.

TIP: If you double or triple the recipe, you can freeze remaining shake in popsicle molds or ice cube trays and blend again with mo’ milk of choice when your CRAVING strike What are YOUR favorite ways  to  spring clean/detox? 

Ready. Set…. GO!

MORSELICIOUS Monday-Time to cut the C.R.A.P.

Mo & her rainbow salad

Mo & her rainbow salad

Do you struggle to to eat a rainbow every day? Are you sick of the CRAP?  I know my joke is old to some of you, but SKITTLES do NOT count as eating a rainbow.

It’s time to CUT the CRAP!  You heard me correctly…the MORSELIST is gettin’ dirty!

Cancer and most chronic inflammatory diseases are caused by consuming CRAP!

C-carbonated sodas
R-refined sugars
A-artificial anything
P-processed /preservatives

Let’s reverse that by:

C choosing CLEAN

R real -(rainbow)

A and

P pure

FOODS!!  :)

Which C.R.A.P. will you choose?

Please share your comments here and on a FUN note, my dad, Mac, came for a visit this past weekend and we had a grand time!  Here is a photo of us at the California Science Museum: Space Shuttle Endeavor exhibit!  INCREDIBLE!

Now onto some NON-FOOD MORSELICIOUSness!

This article was published on examiner.com a few weeks ago and many of you asked me post here. Ask and ye shall receive:  Please feel free to add some of your own ideas. I’d LOVE to hear and have a MORSELICIOUS week!

http://www.examiner.com/article/mo-s-morselicious-tips-for-inexpensive-or-free-non-food-rewards

‘Tis time to reward yourself for all of your MORSELICIOUS detox accomplishments, that is assuming you have been following Mo’s 85/15 rule and eating clean, whole, REAL food at least 85% of the time, incorporating a RAINBOW of colors into your daily meals. Remember skittles DON’T count! ☹ I have completed week 1 of my Ultimate 21-day MORSELICIOUS DETOX e-cookbook and currently in the middle of week 2 and have been inspired to create mo’ lists and ideas for MORSELICOUSLY fun way to eat clean and reap the rewards.

The dilemma most of us face when rewarding ourselves for being 85% perfect (remember strive for progress NOT perfection), is that most of us choose to reward ourselves with decadent-less-than-optimal-healthy food choices. I use the word, “choose” loosely, because oftentimes it’s not a mindful choice, but a habit. Admittedly, I am guilty of this sometimes, too, which is why I have created this list for you. Here are some MORSELICIOUSly creative, fun and inspiring reward ideas. Please feel free to add your own and share with the rest of us. ENJOY!

• Treat yourself to a fragrant and colorful bouquet of flowers.
• Plant some colorful succulents in your garden.
• Start an herb garden.
• Visit a museum.
• Take a bike ride.
• Take a hike…☺ a nature walk, a walk around ANY body of water. It’s amazing how it clears the mind and fresh air is beyond therapeutic.
• Take a class in an activity or subject you’ve always wanted to try.
• Volunteer. Maybe read to the eldery or under-priveleged children, or take a meal or two to a neighbor-in-need.
• Visit the library and check out a book you’ve been thinking of reading, but never got around to it. Make it a fun one!
• Create a visualization board or journal and travel in your mind. Fantasize about your new goals, dreams and accomplishments.
• Treat yourself to a foot massage or full body. Find a massage school for some incredible deals.
• Write someone a handwritten note on colorful paper/stationery. It will brighten their day as well as yours.
• Call a friend. Invite them to join you on a little adventure, walk, bike ride, swim, museum excursion or a vintage store shopping spree.
• Try something new. Make it FUN!
• Watch the sunrise
• Watch the sunset
• Pour your fancy spa water into your reusable water bottle and take it with you everywhere.
• Spoil yourself, or better TREAT yourself as you deserve to be treated!
• Buy extra thick/cushiony socks. Believe me, it makes a HUGE difference on your hikes/walks and you will WANT to walk further.

I need your input. Yours truly is working on a 2nd e-cookbook and debating between 2 ideas:

1) CONFESSIONS OF A MORSELIST & her MORSELICIOUS recipes, which will include my funny -candid stories accompanied by my MORSELICOUS recipes and list of favorite ingredients, products.

2) The Ultimate 21-day MORSELICIOUS Detox, which would include a 7 day, 14 day and ultimate 21 day menu planning-recipes encompassing the MORSELICIOUS Lifestyle.

The 21-day would come with various tip sheets and each week would come with a handy Morselicious shopping guide, which I’ll categorize for easier shopping. The 7 day would come with 7 days and that week’s shopping list, same with the 14 day version.

Either book will be offered as a gift with MORSEL orders and/or part of my DETOX health coaching program.

Please SHARE your thoughts and in the spirit of April Fool’s Day, I’d love to hear what FOOL you’ll be playing today.
