I came home from an hour gym class at GoodLife.  The first 1/2 hour is ‘The Grit – Strength’ class. this is an amazing class. It builds your strength, cardio and muscles and of course endurance. I sweat so much in this 1/2 hour class compared to any other class at the gym.



I also did another 1/2 hour of Body Pump class afterward.  Then I showered and walked home.  On the way home, I was so hungry but I felt like having something healthy like salad.  So I dropped by Metro to get the ingredients for Caprese Salad.

It was amazingly delicious and so easy to make. It doesn’t take long to make either.

I normally wash all my fruits and vegetables with mix of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 water.  I sprayed the grape tomatoes and basil with the mix of white vinegar and left there for a few seconds before i rinsed it off.

Then I start preparing and making the Caprese Salad. Please see below for the quick and easy recipe.
