What’s for dinner?? This Cheesy Chicken Skillet is one of the first recipes I developed for CARE. I knew the recipes had to be easy, very family-friendly, and balanced. So this is what I came up with… see what you think!

New blog post: "Eating Perfectly Doesn't Fix Everything"

Oh, how I wanted this to be true in young adulthood. But the wisdom of middle age has helped me better understand the blurry lines between "self-medicating" and "medicinal". Read my thoughts and then I'd love for you to share yours.

Overeating, having that extra drink, spending too much time on social media… these are all self-medicating behaviors. The conflict they have on us *depends.

Follow our new CARE Lifestyle Program page!

These regular weekly posts will introduce you to the basics behind using for sustainable, long-term results. And it all starts here with the CARE Balanced Plate (which is making its first public debut)!

20+ years of education, research, clinical practice, and time in my own kitchen is reflected in our CARE Weight Loss & Lifestyle Program. There is SO much to share about what I've learned that we decided it's time for CARE Lifestyle Program to have its own page. Hope to see you there!

Meet your new CARE Balanced Plate...
Creating balanced meals should be this easy...
Each section of the CARE Balanced Plate has an entire step dedicated to it in the CARE Weight Loss and Lifestyle Program. But you can start using it today. Practice increasing your awareness for visual portion sizes. Is ½ your plate Leafy and Tender Veggies? ¼ Fruits, Roots, and Grains? ¼ Lean Proteins? And do you have a garnish of fat? Which section(s) are missing in your most common meals? The opportunity is to balance what you are currently doing… not starting all over from scratch. You’re doing more right than you think.☺️👏🏼

FREE ALERT: The Perfectly Produce Seasonal e-Recipe Books are now available to download for FREE!

https://www.perfectlyproduce.com/product-category/e-recipe-books/

These four e-books (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter) were the first content I created when I started my nutrition career. I still get requests from people that downloaded them 10 years ago to re-send deleted PDFs! So past users, this is your chance to re-download them. And new users, take advantage of these whole foods, produce-based classic, seasonal recipes!

I formed these meals with the simple goal of providing:
– Simple, tasty ways to eat more fruits and vegetables
– Recipes and food ideas that are naturally low in added sugars
– Guidance to help sustain energy with balanced, fiber-rich meals
– Guidance to help get started in the kitchen with whole foods-based eating and meal planning

These e-books where the start of what would become the CARE Weight Loss and Lifestyle Program. It all started here. With simple foods, simply cooked.

I hope you enjoy them! Let me know your favorite recipes (and pictures are always welcome)!

2020 - A Year of Perfect Vision

What a year 2019 was… and what hope a new year always brings.

I commented to my husband that 2020 already sounded so familiar to say (usually it takes me a while to warm up to the yearly transition) and he replied: “it’s because it’s perfect vision”. And so a theme for the year was born.

2019 was a year that forced me to increase my awareness of the various “lenses” I bring into situations. My meditation and contemplative practices of two years had deepened and done what they are there to do: gently, ever so gently, continue to hold my hand as I learn to look at each moment for what it really is – not what I wish it was, not what my history tells me to see, but what is really being presented to me today – no lenses, just 20/20 vision.

And importantly, this doesn’t mean “perfection” but rather the opposite: a focused vision that allows today just to be itself; not always predictable, not always comfortable, but always on our side when we pay attention.

20/20 vision not only gives us permission but often requests that we respond with “I don’t know” to many situations. And it is at that moment that life cracks open just enough for something new to finally happen. This is the “perfect” part of 20/20 vision.

2020 is going to be a big year. Lots of moments to welcome and get to know, just as they are, and lots of chances to practice saying “I don’t know”. And when you do, immediately stop and listen. With practice, I am confident that you will hear exactly what you need to hear.

Here’s to all of us, together, not always knowing… and seeing the opportunity in that.

With love and health,

Teri Rose, MS, LN

How do your lifestyle choices impact your quality of life?

A healthy lifestyle doesn't take away the stress of life. Eating healthy will never solely take away previous pain, feelings of rejection, or insecurity about income. But nourishing your body could help you feel well enough at night to meditate vs self-medicate leading to a higher quality of life.
