Now THIS looks yummy!

How do you give your salads that extra POP of excitement? Red pepper flake? Crispy onions? A drizzle of flavored olive oil? If you need an infusion of culinary creativity look no further than this plentiful crispy chickpea chopped salad from the infallible which uses cabbage, escarole, crispy chickpeas, and a decadent tahini-maple dressing.

Big Food companies are making a killing at the expense of America's health.

Manufacturers point to a lack of consumer demand for swapping out artificial colors in brightly hued foods, but new research — and legislation — may force their hands.

Replace half of your butter with avocado in recipes and add to smoothies and spreads! Let mashed avocado replace mayo on sandwiches and in tuna or egg salad! Avocados are rich in plant fat which makes them super healthy for the heart♥️♥️🥑🥑

Purple fruits and veggies contain compounds that fight inflammation and help protect your brain and heart according to 2019 research conducted by The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Local blueberries are in season right now if you live in the southeast !!

It's National Nutrition Month all month long! Another nutrition resolution might be to ramp up your fish intake! Fish is loaded with heart and brain-healthy DHA! Scared to cook fish? Place under a broiler for 10 minutes or pan sear in hot oil for 2-3 minutes on each side. Very simple!!

How do you enjoy healthy cauliflower? Last night I roasted sections at 375 for around 30 minutes, then topped with a mixture of Tahini, Greek yogurt, lemon juice and white pepper I served it with pan-seared halibut and capers 😊

February is National Heart Health Awareness Month. To honor your heart, why not consider moving in the direction of eating more fish than you do now? Fish is rich in omega 3 fatty acids long known for their heart benefits. I love the website Vital Choice Wild Seafood & Organics. Great fish that comes to you frozen on dry ice.
