Eatin' Good in the Neighborhood!!

This week my team and I are in Inglewood in LA. We are doing a day camp for inner city children. It has been such a blessing to work with these kids and it has only been one day!! We are staying at the home of the one of the church members and her name is Willa. Willa worked for the LAPD for over 30 years and is retired. Now she works at the church as the secretary and pretty much runs the church if you ask me. She is amazing!! She doesn't like to cook very much. When she was told that I don't eat gluten, she asked what it was and said she would take us shopping. We promised to make her dinner every night. We bought a ton of healthy, gluten-free, organic food at the store!! Here's what we got:
For breakfast:
cereal
yogurt (A new found love of mine this summer!)
bagels
eggs
bread (for toast!.)
fruit (grapes..for $0.98/lb!!!..strawberries, bananas, watermelon)

Lunch is at the church (but I take something gluten-free to eat!)

Snacks:
popcorn
chips and salsa
PB&J

Dinner: we planned out all our meals for the week:)
Sunday night was taco night! We made homemade guacamole! YUMMY!!!
Monday: Tonight was excellent! Anthony, Hannah, and I made a huge green salad and brown rice pasta with ground turkey, veggies, and organic garlic tomato sauce. It was delicious!!
Tuesday: We are going to have chicken breast with brown rice and corn on the cob.
Wednesday: Chester turns 18!!! We are going out to dinner with his family:)
Thursday: Hannah is making pork chops with mashed potatoes and asparagus! I am very excited!
We have a nice little system down and we all work together to make and/or clean up dinner!
We are having so much fun and eating super healthy this week! I have my whole team on a gluten-free diet and they like it!!
{Much love from a gf girl who's eating healthy and loving it!}
