Where I have been and my sunny vegan 'chicken' salad

Hi guys, where have I been?  Being discouraged that I don't have an instant set of followers, but you know what its ok :)  This blog can be followed just by me and I think I'll be happy with that because its like a giant healthy cook book by me, for me, and for the love of food and my continued healthy journey.

I recently joined the Tone It Up nutrition plan and I don't think I can ever go back to falling on and off the healthy eating wagon ever again.  I first discover Karena & Katrina through pinterest, later I followed their workouts on youtube and love them!  I finally built up the courag to join their free community and the support you get is incredable and I visit everyday and share my meals with all my friends that I have met.  You can follow my journey on twitter too if you like @Alia_TIU.
