Nutritious foods, movement, peace, and self care is what I'm all about!

10/09/2024

The weather is changing and that means many of us will spend more time indoors. This means our vitamin D levels will drop because we are not getting that good stuff from the sun. Even though it's chilly out - get dressed up and get out as often as you can. Our winters are pretty crazy - but luckily we can make vitamin D from the sun and then store it for future use - like the dark days ahead! So get out as often as you can, get some of that D in before it's too cold!

The leaves are starting to change, the sun is setting earlier, the air is cooler. Time for another season:)
Let's welcome the fall with some comfort foods such as soup and chili! Let's not forget about a healthy hot chocolate that you can drink by the fire.
Keep an eye out - I will be posting yummy comfort food recipes!

I don’t know about you – but my kids LOVE snack plates.

Something about having options, getting to pick and choose what they like, the colors, and they end up eating Every. Darn. Thing.

So, I’m all about the snack plates. Anything goes, just make sure to add some color and make sure its macronutrient balanced.

Here I have some sugar snap peas (green), pitted olives (fat), apple (sweet and fiber), and some healthy popcorn which is more fiber.

Popcorn is controversial. I do allow my kids to eat it as long as it doesn’t have unhealthy ingredients or if I make it myself. Making it yourself is actually super fun, kids get involved and watch them pop!

So try something like this in your kiddo’s lunch boxes or even a snack plate at home. Let me know what you think 😊

I LOVE edamame beans! It's salty and so satisfying! What a great hit with the kids! They love squeezing them out, makes dinner more fun. They are also rich in antioxidants, vitamin K, folate, fiber, and much more. Try serving these along your dinner next time - kiddos will love it.

Boil some organic edamame beans (shell on) for 3-5 minutes. Rinse, add some sea salt and voila! Easy fun side dish. Let me know what you think :)

Happy Daylight Savings!

I know, you lost 1 hour of sleep - but the days are getting longer and we get to enjoy some of that D! Did you know that well over half of the population is deficient? AND it regulates over 2000 genes in our bodies?

Signs that you are deficient - fatigue, weakness, brain fog, gut issues, sick often, depression...the list goes on!

So GET OUTSIDE, for for a quick walk at lunch - take the kids out after school for a family walk, bring the dogs out, absorb some of that sun and get the D you deserve :)

So here are some snack ideas.
Let me just preface by saying meals should be the most important thing the whole family eats. Snacks are not necessary, but there should be healthy options should anyone get hungry between meals.

It's important to get back to basics. We tend to want to pack our kids' lunches with so many different foods (mostly sugar) - and hope they'll eat.
When kids are hungry - they will eat.

I find lunches easier than feeding my kids at home because there are no other options until they get home.

Snacks that my kids love? Easy peasy.
I cut up a cucumber with hummus, unsweetened coconut yogurt with blueberries, organic seaweed chips, dried salted fava beans or chickpeas, a quarter avocado, mini organic peppers (I don't even have to cut these!) If I have extra time, I'll bake them some muffins (low sweetener, gluten and dairy free, extra yummy). And leftovers from the night before in a thermos.

What is really cool about all this is that it's all REAL FOOD, easy to assemble, and I am not using a bunch of plastic wrappers.

Follow me and I will share some really yummy muffin recipes that the kids (and the whole family) will love - guilt free!

We are all trying to feed our kids the best food we can. I get it - it's really hard to know what is actually good food for them.

We think we purchased the best snack with only a few ingredients - but one of the is natural flavors. DON'T FALL FOR IT! IT'S A TRAP!

It means it's derived from plant or an animal. Pretty innocent right? Guess what - it takes between 50-100 chemicals to derive this natural flavor and get it into your food. It's not on the package because it is a processing chemical.

I got you though. I will share with you what I put in my kids' lunches, and different super clean ideas for you :)

Have a wonderful day !

Hello all:)

Alright - how to stay on track as much as possible during the holidays Part 1.

Are you hosting? Make foods that you enjoy AND are SO GOOD for you.
MAKE the food. Do you want a decadent dessert? Find a great recipe made with maple syrup or honey instead of sugar, gluten free, dairy free, and full of good fats. The trick is here to make it with real ingredients and high fat so that you are satiated with less food. Rather than continuously eating until you feel nauseous!!

This sounds impossible - a dessert that fits this criteria AND tastes so good? I got you - here's one to get you started :)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Big question - are you hosting? Are you attending celebrations? Did you decorate your house? What are you going to make? Did you get everyone gifts? Did you forget anyone? Did you stay within budget? Is it possible to stay on track during the holidays?

Let's take a minute and BREATHE - the holidays are meant to be fun, but us humans always tend to add a great deal of anxiety to the mix!

I like to follow the 80/20 rule. I'm 80% on track, 20% a little off track. What this means is I don't throw my whole diet out the window. I won't have fast food for dinner followed by ice cream, and a soda to top it off. I would make sure that I got a good amount of protein and fats throughout the day, and if I really want a slice of cake, then I go for it! Most important - DO NOT FEEL GUILTY. Guilt makes everything worse. These upcoming weeks I will share tips on how to stay on track as much as possible and share healthy delicious recipes for you to share with your loved ones.

Stay tuned :)

Hello all 🙂

To follow up on the Halloween fun - here are some sweet treats to make your family.
Why do they taste delicious and are healthy for us? We like to use raw honey or maple syrup as a sweetener. This way, they are not ingesting the white powdered stuff - instead they are GETTING a bunch of trace minerals from the natural stuff. I even put less sugar for my kids because their taste buds aren't highjacked by processed foods. So even these sweet treats with half the sweetness is sweet enough for them!

Good for diabetics? Nope - that's a whole other ballgame. Diabetics can use monk fruit sweetener so that it doesn't fluctuate their blood sugars.

Halloween is coming!! Let's get ready!

Does everything need to be sweet? Nope! Why not make it fun with just dressing up some old fashioned healthy foods in a costume to make it fun for the kids?!

Let me share some Halloween snack foods - but stay tuned because I will also share some healthy sweet treats for you to make your family this week.
Enjoy these snacks guilt-free:)
