Homemade Chicken Chile Verde & Rice

Because good nutrition doesn’t mean sacrificing flavor!

01/14/2026

I’m not one to skip dessert (especially if it’s chocolate cake šŸ˜‹) — but I am intentional about avoiding foods that contain hidden added sugars.

And That Sugar Book is a good resource if you want to understand why!

You’ll be amazed at how much sugar we actually consume without realizing it— often from foods we think are healthy.

That Sugar Book is easy to read, packed with visuals, and reveals false marketing on everyday staples which many consumers think are healthy such as:
• smoothies & bottled juices
• low-fat or flavored yogurts
• cereals, granola & protein bars
• ā€œnatural,ā€ organic, or plant-based snacks

Why it matters

Too much added sugar (especially fructose) is linked to:
• belly fat & metabolic issues
• fatty liver and diabetes risk
• energy crashes, cravings & brain fog

So maybe the issue isn’t:
šŸØ ice cream after dinner once or twice a week
šŸŖ a homemade cookie
šŸ« a square of dark chocolate

But rather:
🄣 breakfast cereal + flavored yogurt (7–9 tsp sugar before 9 a.m.)
šŸ„— store-bought salad dressing + bread
šŸ pasta sauce, ketchup, marinades & condiments
ā˜• sports drinks, juices and smoothies

I recommend reading this book for:

More awareness.
Better choices.
A healthier you. šŸ’›

POV: You skip store-bought bread because of added ingredients and heavy processing… but you’re also not baking sourdough — so you make einkorn flatbread instead ✨

It’s quick to make, healthier, and tastes great.

Einkorn is one of the most ancient forms of wheat and is more nutrient-dense — higher in protein, B-vitamins, and minerals like iron, zinc, and magnesium, plus antioxidant carotenoids.

It also has a simpler gluten structure, making it easier to digest, less likely to spike blood sugar, and often better tolerated by some people with wheat sensitivities (though it’s not gluten-free).

And the best part? Einkorn has never been hybridized or genetically modified — it’s wheat in its original form 🌾

Serve it with some flavorful homemade-hummus for a simple, nutritious and satisfying meal.

We didn’t evolve to sit for hours—or to live life hunched over a keyboard.
Take breaks. Stand tall. Add mobility and movement wherever you can.
Small moments of mobility today = a healthier you tomorrow.


Here are some easy suggestions for movement:

• 20-minute Slow Flow Yoga on Apple Fitness
A gentle way to get moving and reset your energy.

• 10-minute lunchtime walk
A quick mood and metabolism boost in the middle of your day.

• Stand instead of sitting during your child’s sports game
You probably drove to the game and will drive back, so turn on those glutes for a bit and let those hip flexors stretch while you stand

• Park the car and walk inside
Skip the drive-thru—for coffee, the pharmacy, the bank—and turn errands into easy movement.

• Count housework as movement (and feel good about it!)
Cleaning, organizing, and tidying all add up. Honor the effort your body is putting in.
